Chicago just keeps giving us some great bands. My personal favorite from that city is Brigitte Calls Me Baby. Their sophomore album came out a few months ago and I love it.
My favorites from that album are: I Can Take the Sun Out of the Sky, Slumber Party, and Truth is Stranger Than Fiction.
Thank you for this!! Went into it looking for thoughts on what I’ve loved this year, but discovered a lot of great-sounding stuff I hadn’t even heard of! Will for sure be giving a good few of these a listen
I didn’t know anyone else in the world knew who they were… bought a demo cd when I worked at a store in college and was hooked!!! The day the colors died - I believe
Hell yeah! Love Bloomsday. Wrote about Heart of the Artichoke as one of my favs of ‘24 here a few years back. Hopefully you found some stuff you dig on this list too!
nice to share this, im definitely writing down the ones im interested in to listen later. i would definitely recommend you to check Emma Harner's Evening Star. my personal favourite of the year
I love your creative RIYL blurbs, thank you for sharing!
Thanks for reading!

Slumber Party rips! Very catchy, love those Orbison esque vocals
Marvellous list and piece. Kudos!
Thanks, Martin!
Fantastic collection of new artists. Also, I thoroughly enjoyed the template in which you’ve organised these albums. Informative with so few words.
Glad you enjoyed it! Always a fun exercise in brevity

That’s what it’s all about! Glad you enjoyed it
I knew NONE OF THESE !
But I saw you compared Widemouth to BLOOMSDAY!

Well done article. Lime Garden and fcukers are direct hits from my list also, so I suppose I should check out Witch Post.
Thank you! If you dig Lime Garden, you’ll like Witch Post too.
I really liked a lot of this list, so I made an Spotify playlist with almost all of the songs on it (some weren't on Spotify). Enjoy!

Thanks for taking the time to make this playlist so i don't have to.
Hey thanks Jordan! Glad you enjoyed it.
A wonderful post
We remember you from that MPLS show!
What an honor. So many records we love on here
I rock that tee any chance I get! Look forward to sitting even more with the new album and catching ya again next time you’re in town
Thanks for sharing this! I’m gonna check out a lot of it.
Glad to hear it, Robert!

I love love love the All Get Out album. No skips.
Surprised not to see the Twisted Teens here!
This substack is incredible, thank you. Also, I really relate to your description of how to answer the question “what type of music do you listen to?”
