Top Music of 2019

As you can tell, the old blog downsized a bit this year. Still, I can’t seem to resist some musical retrospection as the year comes to a close.

This year, I found that I trended towards OLDER releases rather than new ones. I settled into playlists a lot more than albums. I’m not saying this was a weak year for music or anything, just that I was happy to spin familiar sounds rather than new ones a lot of the time.

With that said, here are my favorite albums of 2019 and a Spotify playlist with 1 song from each album.

1 Thom Yorke – ANIMA
2 The National – I Am Easy to Find
3 Better Oblivion Community Center – self titled
4 Hammock – Silencia
5 Big Thief – Two Hands
6 Wilco – Ode to Joy
7 Elbow – Giants of All Sizes
8 Vampire Weekend – Father of the Bride
9 Copeland – Blushing
10 Jenny Lewis – On the Line
11 Andrew Bird – My Finest Work Yet
12 Luxury – Trophies
13 Hatchie – Keepsake
14 Josh Garrels – Chrysaline
15 Hugar – Varda
16 Ghost Ship – To The End
17 M83 – DSVII
18 Weyes Blood – Titanic Rising
19 Sleeping at Last – Atlas: Enneagram

21 Beck – Hyperspace
22 Coldplay – Everyday Life
23 Switchfoot – Native Tongue
24 The New Pornographers – In the Morse Code of Brake Lights
