Apologies! We made the list in 2024 but neglected to publish. The year saw some newcomers (Leathers, Genesis Owusu, Descartes A Kant) as well as long-time favorites (Oh Land, Kate Nash, X, St Vincent, Richard Thompson). The lead track, Personal Jesus, brings together the lyric genius of Depeche Mode’s Martin Gore, the phenomenal arrangement prowess of Trevor Horn, and the deep rumbling punk vocals of Iggy Pop – with a suprise guest appearance from the soon-to-be favorite Lambrini Girls. There’s a lot to listen to across all kinds of genres so click that play button!
