What's your favorite album to listen to ...
What's your favorite album to listen to front to back? I need some recommendations for when I do my makeup in the morning. Open to any genre, and totally okay with an album that may only have a few star tracks, but still comes together well.

When this album came out I had a tape deck in my car. This album remained in the deck for a full year. The fairly recent movie about his life (“It’s Never Over”) is fabulous & has its own soundtrack which is great too.

Not even an Arcade Fire fan really? I can’t explain, but this album moved me profoundly when I heard it and I still love the entire thing. I’ll be honest, I haven’t listened to any other of their albums because I think it would be hard to live up to this one.

I’m still hearing new bits in this next-level album after 18 years. Mashups turn into whole new songs and the whole thing plays like one giant symphony. Will never fail to hype you up or make you move.

Well, this one takes me right back to a certain time and place. But I think that even without that, there’s a certain verve to this album—it’s not overly complex; it’s lively, it’s soulful, the lyrics hit with a perfect mix of metaphorical and simplistic. An understated kind of genius.

Just him, a piano, and a mic, in his house, in some spastic artistic flow. I put it on while I shuffle around the house and pretend Prince is haunting me.

Reliquia by Rosalía (and the whole LUX album)
•••
Not to be dramatic but this album is transcendent. I cried listening to it the first time, and seeing her perform it live was genuinely a spiritual experience which also brought tears 🥲. Every time I listen I cannot help but dance like I’m possessed. She sings in THIRTEEN languages on this album! The music is deeply stirring and the lyrics are profound. Rosalía wants us to never forget that the sacred and the profane are the same.

Two albums by Orion Sun: Hold Space For Me, + A Collection Of Fleeting Moments and Daydreams
•••
Two albums that saved me in 2020! I was incredibly lucky to see her perform from them live a couple years later at a small venue (The Sinclair in Cambridge) and it was everything and more! Someone gave her the sweatshirt off their back at the show because she was cold and she wore it the whole time while performing. It was the coziest most intimate and special vibe, perfect for the music.

ict by Oklou (& the whole Choke Enough album)
•••
Summer in a song, ict captures the exhilaration of chasing the ice cream truck —heart and feet pumping, just praying the truck will hit a stop sign so you can catch up— and feels like it stretches to resonate with every dream-chasing feeling in life. Blade bird is another standout but album is perfect to me!

We Will Always Love You by The Avalanches
•••
This album is practically no skip for me! Interstellar Love samples the Alan Parson’s Project Eye In The Sky (!!) and the whole album feels fresh and brilliant to me. A long album that will most certainly keep you awake on a road trip. My big skip is Weightless but maybe you’ll feel differently.

Julia Jacklin’s record, Pre Pleasure
•••
One of my all time favorites, a true desert island record that I could listen to every single day and never ever tire of. I feel like a lot of people liked Pressure to Party and then dropped off? But this is Julia at her finest so far imo (I cannot wait for Gem to come out) - her voice is strong, a little silky, a little rough around the edges of emotion, but she hits the high notes with breathtaking clarity. Hard not to sing along off key to some of these epics like Love (Try Not To Let Go). Put it on, look out the window, maybe it’s drizzling at first but by the time the record ends you’ll be ready to go outside to watch the sky turn colors. I have on vinyl and not to snob about it but I DO think it makes a difference.
