So glad to see The Church on your list. Great album, along with the companion release, The Hypnogogue. Also, not sure if you were aware, but the band, X also had a 2024 release. (Smoke and Fiction) Definitely much better than their previous album, Alphabetland.

Cant remember if its on your list but try The Chisels - What a fucking nightmare

That Nada Surf is easily and by far my favourite album of the year... starts out infectious, then gets better each time I listen to it, and every time I listen to it, I go back and give one of their other albums another spin. The new Deary album is fantastic too. Thank you for posting all of these!

Ah! I got one! Chime School! And a cool comeback album from Nada Surf! Otherwise these are all new to me. I'll try to sample a few. Thanks for the recap!

I love when I think I've heard all of the best albums in a year and I get a whole bunch more I've never heard. Thank you for this feast.

Really enjoyed the new approach Hanna! Lots in here I've never heard of including one from my hometown in Leeds, UK - shame on me. Lots to look into which I'm going to do tonight because my 2 months free Apple Music expires tonight. I would also recommend To All Trains by Shellac, Wild God by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Bright Future by Adrienne Lenker, Patterns In Repeat by Laura Marling and my current obsession - The New Sound by Geordie Greep. Have a great Christmas and thanks for your recommendations.

Hi Hanna,congratulations by your video,cheers and happy xmas for you!!!!!

Hanna....i have a TON of Punk...Garage stuff. I am selling some off....thought you might be interested. You can PM ...Terry Rantala if interested in seeing them. Happy Holidays!!

Fantastic job and a nice presentation. I love that you've tapped into the magic that seems to be in the water in Montreal right now. Your picks PyPy and Bibi Club killed. Other great Montreal releases include Grand Public (jangle) DVTR (crazed post-punk duo) and venerable local heroes Les Breastfeeders (perhaps Montreal's Fleshtones?) who put the retro in post-punk. Applause for including the photo credits when able. Have a Happy New Year filled with great new music!

Lots of interesting albums for me to check out. I was only familiar with a few of them. The Nada Surf album is definitely one of their best. I'll have to give the Cure album another try. First time didn't do anything special for me.

Great list Hanna, lots to check out that were completely off my radar. Have you listened to Naima Bock? Her latest Below a Massive Dark Land is beautiful and enchanting. I’ll be posting about it on IG in the morning, but it is definitely a standout for me in 2024. Take care! Happy holidays!

English Teacher “This Could Be Texas”, best album of the year for me

Great video. I can't imagine how much time must have gone into making this. Much appreciated.

Great list! Have you heard the Miki Berenyi Trio? They have a 10" ep of Lush covers. It's great! Her post Lush reunion band Piroshka was also great.

I am gonna check these out!

Well, I have one record out of your best of 2024, Amyl and the Sniffers.. Have been listening to them a lot! I have a couple on your list I will be checking out.

Wow ! lots here not on my radar and I thought I had a big radar. I did listen to tracks from Newdad , Robber Robber, Vr Sex and Weak Signal , but have not checked out full albums. I agree with you on both Thus Love and Fontaines D.C. , took me a bit time to warm up to the mid section of Romance. That being said it ended up being my no. 1 of the year. The Cure, Magdalena Bay, Diiv and Kings of Leon were some other favorites. Here are some other bands that caught my ear in 2024 , Sprints, The Bug Club, Ducks Ltd, Been Stellar,Psychic Graveyard and The Courettes . Happy new year!

The Cure. Si Bueno Comprende 🌐🗝️👄🚬

Glasgow Eyes 👀🔥

Fastbacks Just Kicked Out A New LP, Seattle Based Group, From The Eighties

Great Description of These Artists

Very Impressive Listing 💯 TY Sistar 🛣️🎯 ⏺️💕🎶

My Furst Question ⁉️,From Observation It would seem... You would Have to order These Records directly from the artists.... Some Exceptions I'm Sure. But Like Gina Volpe of Lunachicks Band.... No Available on Distribution 💬 Networks. Only direct contact with the artist

It's Great Seeing The Indies from San Francisco CA USA 🌐🗝️👄🚬

Amyl and The Sniffers Si Bueno Comprende Amiga ❣️🙏🎶

Mojo Magazine ✨💬 And Rough Trade Records NYC Or London England ✈️🇬🇧🎶😘 Have 2024 Analysis If you still undecided

I both thank you and apologize 'cause this could get long. The Mt. Fog and particularly Molina fed my appetite for more experimental music as I've gotten older. I thought for a moment we were getting a cover of the dbs from Molina, lol. I've recently dipped into Mary Timony and Jessica Pratt; haven't gotten to this one by Mary but just listened to and loved "Here in the Pitch". Really dug the album by NewDad and liked your number 1, but I did find the vocals a little buried. Will check out that 'other' band from Cincinnati and many others here, and again thanks.

Lots of stuff to check out that we’ve never heard of, you’re way more in tune with newer bands than we are! Anything on Trouble In Mind and Sonic Cathedral are always worth a listen. We posted our top 20 this morning. I thought our lists would have more in common, but we bought mostly “established” artists this year and fewer newer artists. We almost included the Church lp since it had a more official release this year, but we bought the cd last year on their US tour so considered it more of a 2023 release, could go in either year really! We did manage to squeeze the latest Kilbey/Kennedy lp into our list, so the Church are at least represented. Cheers!

The Smile released 2 excellent albums in 2024 (called "Wall of Eyes" and "Cutouts")in followup to their wonderful debut album "A Light for Attracting Attention"

damn, there was 1 (one!) vinyl of Virgins available this morning on Bandcamp , but now sold out. Who prints only 300 copies in total?

Hey Hannah! Thanks for the list. I look forward to hearing a lot of this as it is new to me. I see you successfully avoided The Lemon Twigs bandwagon. I did not. lol A Dream Is All We Know is my #1 of the year, Redd Kross' s/t was a close #2. On the jazz side Jerome Sabbagh's Heart album is great (a worthy follow-up to 2023's Vintage.) Happy New Year!!

I really like how you listed the genre since I'm not familiar with most of these.

Oh Hanna..Hanna...Hanna...what have you done? As someone who has watched every video you have ever done I have to say that I really, REALLY didn't like the presentation on the best of 2024. Apart from your excellent taste in music, for me, your personality, enthusiasm, love and devotion to the music you talk abut in each video is one of the main reasons I tune in every time. In an ever increasing world of A.I. , we need the human touch more than ever! Anyway, I'm of to spin Juliana Hatfield's vinyl reissue of How to walk away...Merry Xmas, all the best for 2025 x

Thanks so much! You help me discover so much new music. I'm gonna dive into this list and not come up for air for awhile!

Aurelia aurita is the Latin name of the most common jellyfish here in Sweden. I hope the Deary song is about Jellyfishes... Now I go to Spotify and listen to it. ⏩

Buenas música para relajarse según sea el gusto

Always an interesting list with many albums squarely in my wheelhouse. I bought about 40 new albums this year, not reissues, that was deeply I to shoesgave, dream pop and jangle pop. Blushing and High Vis are high on my list. I have bought a lot of great stuff out of Japan. Fuzz Club really took a lot of my money this year. Excellent year for music

Nice picks and presentation! Some familiar to me, some new, thanks! Although, I'm very surprised and curious that A Dream Is All We Know by The Lemon Twigs is not in here. Especially since how discovering your channel was through your Power Pop and Jangle Pop appreciation videos... I think I even mentioned them in the comments on Instagram or on here to you. The quality of the songwriting and sounds are undeniable, so it's strange there's no mention, let alone them being high in this 2024 list. So much so, if you played it next to any of the top 10 here and fair to say it's stands strong as a collection and would even be deemed a classic.

Such a different list from all the samey ones out there! Thanks!

Keen to listen to No. 10, especially as waiting for Juliana Hatfield’s 2024 vinyl of How To Walk Away (2008) album. Thank you for such great music picks.

The cure, The Smile, and the marillion live album, that's all i have for 2024. Virgins is like a rebirth of Curve, very cool !

Hello Hanna; Liked all the album picks for 2024 as they are the records you enjoy spinning the most. The format worked in the context of how the video was presented, Good Job! We want to wish both you & Chris a very Merry 🎄Christmas 🎁🎀& a safe, healthy & Happy 🎈🎉🧨🎊New Year in ☃❄2025. All the Best! 🤶Tina & 🎅Pat!~

I recommend Sean Lennon album from 2024 its very good

Hi Vis is the best thing ive heard. Great sound. I like the new thus love cd, give it some time The church eros is sublime better than the Hypnagoge. The Church has a new album already recorded. !!

My two favorite albums of this year are the debut of Laughing and the latest album of Misha Panfilov (To the Mesosphere). Give them a listen, you'll like them and tell me about them.

will check out Virgins, I promise!

nice format! good to see you here!

There's a lot of stuff here the Vinyl Douche never mentioned. Sam must be hanging his meat stick in shame. It looks like I'll have to spend the first month of 2025 catching up with 2024 releases and, even though I bought a lot of new music this year, apparently I didn't buy enough. Merry Christmas! Looking forward to seeing more videos in the new year.

I'm still compiling my 2024 list, but here's all the dreampop/gaze bands on it so far: NewDad / Julie Dawson (i think i like her solo album a little better than newdad), Bleary Eyed, Ride, Sunshy, Shower Curtain, Fazerdaze, Mo Dotti, Dummy, Peel Dream Magazine, TTSSFU, Starcleaner Reunion, Somesurprises, Blushing. I love DIIV but for some reason I could not really get into this new album like everyone else. It's just so lethargic. I felt the same way about Clinic Stars! Not that theyre terrible, I would have def loved it way more when I was 19
