Best of 2024 So Far

In 2024, in just a few weeks, amidst the sea of mainstream hits, several alternative and unrecognized songs have clambered out of the slippery-sided well of formulaic people-pleasers, to ear worm their way into my consciousness and car pod listening. These songs, for the most part ignored, showcase the depth and diversity of talent within the alternative music scene happening all around us right now. Ex Coral member Bill Ryder-Jones has produced the album of the year so far in Lechyd Da and is playing at The Chalk in Brighton this Tuesday. I’ll be there..
