S tier: (the truly exceptional albums of 2023):
Sampha - Lahai - Euphoric and beautiful album that has the songwriting to back it up and keep the album engaging.
Liturgy - 93696 - A grand and ambitious black metal album coming from a genre I don't generally look into that much, but the sound is both brutal and angellic. Love some of the riffs on this thing.
Jeff Rosenstock - HELLMODE - Top tier pop punk that manages to talk about both personal and political issues and paint this portrait of Jeff Rosenstock's headspace during the recording of the album while also serving as somewhat of a therapyish session about processing all the chaos that is happening in the modern age and finding some sort of peace in the midst of that.
Sufjan Stevens = Javelin - With a mix of electronic elements and the sort of chamber folk that Sufjan Stevens is known for in his earlier discography, he's back at it with an album dedicated to his late partner that is very lush and gorgeous yet mournful.
JPEGMAFIA & Danny Brown - SCARING THE HOES - Just a very zany, fun, and wild collab album from 2 of the most eccentric voices in hip hop today. The results are very interesting and it was very exciting to see what kind of ideas were going to be thrown into this album.
The Lemon Twigs - Everything Harmony - Yeah the songs on this very retro, soft rock album just kind of ruled my 2023. Like these songs are just insanely catchy and the title delivers, the harmonies on this thing are very nice. Just puts me in a good mood every time.
Model/Actriz - Dogsbody - A danceable but harrowing listen that just is right up my alley. Also sidenote, the way the last track loops into the first track is really cool to me.
AOTY 2023!:
Jessie Ware - That! Feels Good! - This album sounds amazing. I just love every song here with how fun and clean everything sounds. Jessie Ware is passionate on the vocals, each song is very glamorous. Just a ray of sunshine that is full of life.
