Tough to pick an album for Week 1 of the year. I'm going with a random band I've never heard of: Shoelace & A Knot by Yungatita. https://www.besteveralbums.com/thechart.php?a=238848

Rocky I'll let you get Week 2.

Posts like this are one of the reasons I wanted to find a site like this. Id like to get involved if/when I get the time. I wanted to reply because after reading this post last night I decided to listen to the first album choice. I then listened to it again, and then another 3 times today. I haven't done this, especially with new music, for a long time. I doubt I would have found this album if it wasnt for this post, so thank you!

In!

Hell yeah!

Shoelace & A Knot by Yungatita

I've got Helium & Mary Timony on my brain due to her new single, BUT this strikes me as cool combo platter of Helium and dream pop. Digging it so far.

edit: speaking of 2024 albums, that Sprints album is positively fire!!!

[MrIrrelevant]

If anybody wants to nominate an album, just fire away. I'm trying to keep the release date within the week timeframe to "capture the year" better. I picked a random artist I've never heard of: Marika Hackman, album called Big Sigh, released 1/12/24. Let's see if it's any good.

Post has been stickied so we don't lose it

So I gave a listen to the Yungatita album and I really enjoyed it. Reminded a TON of The Beths (which is great, because I love The Beths). Definitely a great album to start off the year
