Welcome to a short retrospective of the best world music releases of 2024!
Young singer-songwriter MJ Lenderman released the best American alternative rock album of the year
No one remembers how King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard got the weirdest long name in modern rock 'n' roll, but they've certainly lived up to it with an even longer run of intriguing records, including Flight b741 one of the best this year
Saying goodbye to us, The Cure recorded an album that represents the emotional climax of their career
Bob Dylan's new book is a unique journey through the world of popular songs
David Gilmour's latest solo album is an unexpectedly intimate work, shedding a different light on his post-Pink Floyd career
Famed Velvet Underground visionary John Cale is a double album Poptical Illusion created and played entirely by myself in the studio with my manager Nita Scott, with the help of guitarist Dustin Boyer. It is about a deliberately reduced, delicately beautiful and sung, and probably the farewell performance of one of those secondary greats and authentic weirdos, who gave rock and roll its charm of life
Everyday ecstasy sets Adrianne Lenker apart from the sea of "Joni Mitchell grandkids" that have flooded the alternative music scene in recent years.
Ship to Shore is a brilliant classical album for these unclassical times. His theme is the transience of everything human. Underscoring this eternal motif, sound Ship to Shore is based on trust in the timeless power of traditional poetic and instrumental solutions
Album Beth Gibbons Lives outgrown (Domino) was created in response to unspecified recent painful losses and deals with establishing relationships with the premature departure of loved ones. Is there a greater task for the common man, and are there fewer pieces of music that describe him well
In retrospect, Kurt Cobain turned out to be an even more significant figure than it seemed to us at the time: he was the last chapter of the central mythological theme of the 20th century - that of the possibility of personal liberation. From the Beatles to Nirvana, it was rock and roll that was an attempt to give everyone the freedom to be themselves
Slađana Milošević has always been an authentic pop star who opened the doors of the modern age to all the "rejects" who came after her, until Bojana Vunturišević or Konstructa. After her, it finally became acceptable that women can live outside the rules - that is, exactly as they want
By announcing that rock and roll also belongs to the great romantic tradition that has existed for two centuries, Steve Harley momentarily gave a new, eternal dimension to the entire pop culture. Just that one miracle is enough to never forget it
With her pioneering research, Šentevska not only raised the vocabulary that helps to analyze the phenomena of our popular music to a higher level, but with a network of footnotes she managed to provide every future researcher with a reliable guide through the relevant literature
To be a musical anarchist, you have to have a lot of love for other people. And Damo selflessly loved all people. That's why he was one of rock and roll's most beloved secret heroes. In addition to his undisputed, timeless musical legacy, he also left his mark as a human being: everyone knows that Damo Suzuki always gave his best and never asked for anything in return.
There are heroes we all know as well as heroes we have yet to recognize. So is the guitarist of MC5, one of the most important rock and roll bands of all time
Early Sleater-Kinney were a punkishly bitter three-part female howl, accompanied by furious, unique-sounding guitars and a hurricane-like rumble of percussion. The just-released, eleventh album "Little Rope" brings a potentially significant change
American group Violent Femmes' debut is the best teenage rock album of all time. To say that he saved music is an understatement
Robert was the initiator of the event. Often behind the scenes or in the background, he was always the one who brought and put into practice some of the most influential ideas of that time.
