Every day seems to be going faster than the last, which I suppose is a matter of getting older. Not really sure how to feel about it, since I can look at it optimistically like I have a lot going on and stuff to look forward to. At least that’s what I hope.

Regardless, new music is one of the brighter joys of my life, and this year is already shaping up to be something great in that department. I’ve been trying to stay on top of new releases that’d appeal to me or what others are recommending online, but I’m sure there have been quite a few I missed out on. Hopefully, I’ll get to them sooner or later.

For now, here’s what I’ve really enjoyed so far this year:

Horse Lords – Comradely Objects

John Cale – Mercy

Lil Yachty – Let’s Start Here

Kali Malone – Does Spring Hide Its Joy

Rozi Plain – Prize

Ryuichi Sakamoto – 12
