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!
I just came across this post on the shuffle-play of the Substack homepage... These recs and the way you present them are so good I'd trust you with my life LOL thank you!
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

Slumber Party rips! Very catchy, love those Orbison esque vocals
I love your creative RIYL blurbs, thank you for sharing!
Thanks for reading!
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
Great call re Fazed on a Pony “swan”. Incredible album https://lumemusic.com/lume/swan-1
Agreed! Glad you dig it
Marvellous list and piece. Kudos!
Thanks, Martin!

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!
