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.

Slumber Party rips! Very catchy, love those Orbison esque vocals

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

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

Gannon Hanevold's avatar

That’s what it’s all about! Glad you enjoyed it

I knew NONE OF THESE !

But I saw you compared Widemouth to BLOOMSDAY!

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!

Well done article. Lime Garden and fcukers are direct hits from my list also, so I suppose I should check out Witch Post.

Gannon Hanevold's avatar

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!

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?”
