What were your top musical discoveries of 2024?


Looking for music that was new to you and your collection that lit you and your system up last year.

Here’s my list:

Vinyl - 

UHQR version of Steely Dan “Asia”

Original Master Recording of Grateful Dead’s “Workingman’s Dead”

Digital files - 

Mac Miller “Circles”

Iron & Wine “The Shepherds Dog”

Jacob Collier “Djesse Vol.2”

Mokave “Afrique”

Skrillex “Quest for Fire”

Beyonce “Cowboy Carter”

CD -

Sinead O’Conner “I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got”

 

This is at least what is top of mind.

Thanks for all these responses. I don’t recall if I discovered this in 2024, but I sure listened to it a lot last year when in the mood for “subtle nuance and haunting beauty “.

Anders Jormin, Lena Willemark, Karin Nakagawa, Jon Fält “Pasado en Claro”

CD:  Convergence, Malia and Boris Blank. Terrific headphone album, great base lines/effects, in-ur-ear, enveloping vocals.  especially... Fever, Smouldering Ashes, Tears Run Dry...

Also, Joni Mitchell title song from Night Ride Home and Passion Play...well recorded and mixed.   And another shout out to Radio Paradise!

Whisky Myers--discovered in 2023 but saw live at RR in 2024

Blackberry Smoke--they've been around for years but i'd never heard

Nathaniel Rateliff (solo)--i'd heard with Nightsweats but he's pretty good solo too
