Songs like “She Works Out Too Much,” “Little Dark Age,” and “When You Die,” the three opening tracks on the album, make Little Dark Age a poppy psychedelic record worth giving time and energy toward, even eleven years after MGMT captivated the world with their very first album, Oracular Spectacular. Safe in the Hands of Love is an ambitious, hazy experimental electronic album from Yves Tumor, blurring the lines between noise and pop music, filled with harsh sounds and unabashed love. Parquet Courts’ flexible post-punk, pocked with biting lyrics, is a viable vessel to question our American politics and faulty existence.īROCKHAMPTON, rap’s now-13-member boy band, in the wake of kicking out Ameer Vann, the literal face of all of BROCKHAMPTON’s album covers, find solidarity in iridescence, achieving the same success with the style that brought them wild fame in the first place.Ģ0) Yves Tumor – Safe in the Hands of Love
#KID CUDI ALBUMS CHRONOLOGY FULL#
īritish experimental pop duo, Let’s Eat Grandma, come together for their second full length release with bright eyes and fantastical, stunning ideas. Whack World, released as a whole music video, is an ambitious 14 track album where none of the songs go on for longer than one minute, showcasing Tierra Whack’s wild versatility.Ī conscious rap album with proliferous flows is anchored by one of the best songs of the year, “PROM/KING ,” detailing SABA’s relationship with a cousin that was more like a brother. Indie music’s resident cynic, Father John Misty, our collective pretentious, distant uncle, is back for his fourth album, and with enough chops to prove to himself and everyone else that he’s still a great songwriter - enough to write this whole album in isolation.
Julien Baker, Lucy Dacus, and Phoebe Bridgers commiserate on lost loves as indie’s female supergroup, boygenius, whose self-titled EP is beautifully melancholy with three independent songwriters’ influences intersecting to form illustrious lyrics and harmonies to hold you through their 8 song story.Ģ6) Father John Misty – God’s Favorite Customer With that being said, here are my TOP TWENTY-SEVEN ALBUMS OF 2018: I made a Spotify playlist with all of my favorite songs of the year, also! If I missed anything, let me know! I’d love to find even better music. I listened to so much music in 2018, but I probably still missed something. Maybe there was an album you missed, an album you heard about but never gave the time of day, or an album that you loved but you felt embarrassed to admit it. Artists brought some of their best content out last year, and it still captivates me! I’m still listening to so many 2018 albums a month and a half into 2019, enough for me to want to do a write-up for my top albums of 2018. My girlfriend of a year and a half and I broke up (which I wrote about here), I quit the job I worked at for almost two years, tried out being single for a few months, got involved in a super intense three month relationship which ended rather quickly, both of my childhood pets died (RIP Spanky and Seven), my little brother got sober and now lives with his girlfriend, my parents got a new cat whom I don’t get along with, my hair finally grew long enough to where I could put it in a bun, my grandma is now in a nursing home, I went to Colorado and went skiing for the first time, I drove to Tennessee by myself and saw some of my best friends, pranced under waterfalls, danced with a girl at a concert in the rain, learned to cook, and spent an ungodly amount of time thinking about and listening to the music of Kanye West (74 hours of Kanye, Spotify says).Ģ018 was also a crazy year for music, most notably for rap.
