To complement my top 25 new albums of 2023, here’s a list of incredible older albums I got into this year! (Though “older” in some cases means “from 2022”.) Here they are in alphabetical order—and no write-ups for these. But here’s a Spotify playlist with some bonuses!
As with the other list, all albums are linked to Bandcamp pages where applicable (and Discogs links elsewhere if not), plus a link to one of my favorite/more accessible songs on YouTube.
(What’s Bandcamp, you ask? Why, only the best way to support your favorite artists and indie labels by purchasing directly from them! I strongly recommend you check it out if you’re not familiar with it! Alas, its recent acquisition by Songtradr is not looking good, especially after they immediately laid off half of their workers and most of their editorial staff, including extremely disproportionate numbers of queer and Black workers, but at least for now it remains the best at what it does.)
I hope you find something you like! (And tell me if you do so we can then geek out about it together!)
