Brat - so good to finally hear a pop record that lives up to it's word of mouth hype

Also best of the year do far

Death and the Maiden - Uneven Ground

High Llamas - Hey Panda

But a lot still to come, is it reasonable to expect new albums from Benee, Zheani, aprxel, Rosalia in 2024

And I predict Lana del Rey will finally release properly the goldmine of experiments and songs that are just too much that we can sometimes find on YouTube and blow everyone's mind

Also heard earthtounge for the first time last night and I'm already hooked

Isn’t her story amazing?! It’s almost happening too fast for her. I remember watching her Coachella stream and thinking ‘This is gonna be big’ but I didn’t think she’s blow up this big this fast. Warp speed!
