My Totally Biased Top Ten Albums of 2024

There really is no top or best and in reality it's all subjective and opinion based. Hence me poking fun at the whole thing in the title. But, these are the albums I enjoyed this past year.

In no particular order…

Tarbaby You Think This America (Giant Step Arts)

This is New York Times’ best jazz album of 2024 and their year end review opens with, "The pianist Orrin Evans, the bassist Eric Revis and the drummer Nasheet Waits have each been indispensable to 21st-century jazz… ". That's all you need to know about this album. Just a phenomenal recording from this decades spanning jazz juggernaut of a trio.

The Bad Plus Complex Emotions (Mack Avenue)

It's always fun to see what TBP is going to do next. If you've embarked with them on their ever changing aural journey you're bound to expect some twists, turns, and pleasant surprises. And this album is no exception. To my ears this is the most expressive and layered TBP album yet. A completely natural and stellar amalgam of no wave/post-punk with ethereal and modal jazz sounds. Stand out tracks: Grid/Ocean, Cupcakes One, Tyrone��s Flamingo, and Li Po.

Orrin Evans and The Captain Black Big Band Walk A Mile In My Shoe (Imani)

Another superb offering from an Orrin Evans lead collective and it's no surprise this album has also been topping critics' and publications' best lists this past year. This album really is the story of Orrin's life, featuring some unique and wonderfully executed renderings of some old and new favorites. So many great vocalists on here. Of course, the greats, Bilal and Lisa Fischer, but also New Jersey based crooner, multi-instrumentalist, composer, and arranger, Paul Jost. Jost, in my opinion might be the secret weapon on here. I also did the layout and artwork with the fantastic Chris Kayfield, photographer extraordinaire.

Ethan Iverson Tecnically Acceptable (Blue Note)

Surprise, surprise, another album from a TBP alumnus and much like Orrin, this too has been in the critics’ favorite pile. This is Ethan's second Blue Note album and according to All That Jazz's Mike Jurkovic, this is the first Blue Note release to feature both a theremin performance and a piano sonata. That's the sort of invention and innovation you'll expect from this soulful bop infused body of work.

DIIV Frog In Boiling Water (Fantasy)

This might be my favorite indie rock album of the year. It further leans into the shoegaze, art rock, and dark textures/sounds of their previous album, Deceiver. It many ways, FIBW feels like a companion/sibling album to it, but this younger brother surpasses it’s older sibling in some aspects and it's definitely their best release yet. If there was a way to describe this album it's a soft inviting pillowy cloud floating around uneasily and autonomously. The more discernible influences of My Bloody Valentine, Autolux, Sonic Youth, and Slint are all there, but underneath the surface are more layered, lush, and intricate soundscapes that are all inherently DIIV.

Gustaf Package Pt. 2 (Royal Mountain)

I've always said sophomore albums are make or break for artists and bands. They have to deliver and be as good if not better than the debut. Package Pt. 2 is that and then some. In a world where "post-punk" has become so widespread, Brooklyn based Gustaf have held their own, carved out their own space, and in many respects set themselves apart from their contemporaries. What I love about this album is that it's both sensitive/vulnerable and fierce/daring at the same time. Equal parts introspective and in-your-face. It's no surprise they've become favorites of the likes of Beck, James Murphy, Kathleen Hanna, and Idles.

Starflyer 59 Lust For Gold (Velvet Blue)

SF59 is among the most important American dream pop/shoegaze bands. If you haven't heard them please stop everything and go check out their early (there’s three decades worth of material, so start with those) albums. Jason Martin's contributions from SF59 to The Brothers Martin to Low & Behold (with with Ryan Clark of Demon Hunter) to Lo Tom (supergroup featuring Dave Bazan, TW Walsh, and Trey Many) should have placed him in the ranks of Evan Dando, Lou Barlow, Joe Pernice, and the late great Jason Molina. But, for whatever reason never quite saw center stage like his contemporaries, Dave Bazan and Damien Jurado. However, this album is no short of what his peers have conjured in recent years. A dense and involved offering that is on all levels nostalgic (Lust for Gold’s artwork colors bronze and red is a call back to the first three albums, Silver, Gold, and Americana) for place, time, and sound. Just a beautifully crafted album with absolutely no low points.

Sunny Day Real Estate Diary Live at London Bridge Studio (Sub Pop)

What else is there to say? It's one of the most seminal, heralded, and influential albums of the 90s played live by the artists who created and wrote it. However, this time around presented by a much more sonically and spiritually cohesive outfit performing the songs in the way they've always wanted them to sound.

Keith Jarret, Gary Peacock & Paul Motian The Old Country (ECM)

The original Deer Head Inn album, At the Deer Head Inn, recorded in 1992 and released in 1994, temporarily brought Paul Motian back to the drum throne after a 16-year separation. The album represents what’s memorable of Jarrett’s middle-to-late-period work. A fantastic dive into a refreshing repertoire of classics and standards that few have able to present in that sort of idiomatic fashion. Now we have another collection of songs that ECM has made available of previously unreleased material from that 1992 live recording before a packed crowd of about 200 in the small performance space in the Pocono Mountains. It’s great to hear Paul Motian with Keith Jarret and Gary Peacock, bringing an airy yet crisp and worldly percussiveness once again to the fold.

Tigran Hamasyan The Bird of a Thousand Voices (Naïve)

This is Tigran's most personal and spiritual project yet. Inspired by an ancient Armenian folktale about an anthropomorphic bird, the story presents an era of unrest catalyzing the bird to embark on a spiritual quest to seek world harmony. As Tigran states it struck him as a metaphor for the problems confronting today’s world; conflict, inequality and ecological disasters. In many way the album is also reflective of Tigran himself, blending together many aspects of his singular and artistic life.

Honarable mentions…

Julie My Anti-Aircraft Friend (Atlantic)

This album snuck up on me. I didn't know anything about this band until a friend of mine had reposted a snippet from one of their recent live performances on IG. I was immediately prompted to check them out. This LA based trio is of the new school/recent wave of modern shoegaze bands and I have to say one of the best from that revival. There's the recognizable hints of My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive, Sonic Youth, Lush, and Morella's Forest, but also the bombast and ferocity of Hum, Failure, Dinosaur Jr., Nirvana, and Swervedriver. The shared "girl and guy" vocals dynamic also brings to mind bands like Rainer Maria and Blake Babies, which is very refreshing to hear these days. The fusing of all these along with their journal entry-esque lyricism/songwriting makes for a fun and compelling listen.

The Messthetics and James Brandon Lewis S/T (Impulse)

What happens when two seasoned jazz musicians get together with two of the most respected and legendary musicians from the post-hardcore/punk world? Something really good, that's what. I disagree with a lot of critics' description of them merely as 'Fugazi with free jazz'. I think the intention was to provide a punk painted open canvas to allow for free improvisation. Punk jazz is nothing new, but this is a fresh and welcome addition to the art form, executed at the highest level.

The Jesus Lizard Rack (Ipecac)

They’re back and it’s like nothing has changed. Still the MFn’ noise rock n’ roll titans and just as inauspicious as ever. They’ve arisen like a phoenix and are engulfing us all in their sonic onslaught. My one regret is missing seeing them live when they were here last month. The life of having two small children. Next time.

Pedro the Lion Santa Cruz (Polyvinyl)

Speaking of Dave Bazan, here's the third installments of his ongoing memoir (the two prior being Phoenix and Havasu) series. This moody synth layered collection of indie rock is Bazan's most personal recording yet. Revealing many parts of his Christian upbringing and his exvangelical adulthood, which for many is very relatable. This album seems to be more of a collaborative effort compared to prior releases with contributions coming from his usual cohorts, guitarists/songwriters, Andy Fitts and Erik Walters, and producer/songwriter, Andy D. Park back at the helm.

Ron Miles Old Main Chapel (Blue Note)

Rest in Power Ron Miles (1963–2022) Just go listen to this album.
