Aoife Nessa Frances - Land Of No Junction (Basin Rock, 2020) A dream of an album, with Frances’ beguiling songs perfectly realized by her and her main collaborator, Cian Nugent. I also remember her atmospheric livestream, one of the best of that year! #5debutalbums2026

Yaeji - What We Drew (XL, 2020) Juicy beats and sunny melodies assembled with a Notes-app spontaneity put this on my turntable with an alarming frequency when it came out. Still my favorite release from her, but I keep checking! #5debutalbums2026

Welcome back @mastodonmusic - and RIP Brent Hinds. Your Ghost Again https://t.co/s9oHjvwJp2 via @YouTube

@jhoburgh Looking forward to hearing this, but I will say, unequivocally, YES! I anachronistically call it “the white Thriller,” for the way it has something for every radio format. The only downside is that its success derailed Nilsson’s life and work.

Bonny Light Horseman - s/t (37d03d, 2020) Having seen an early version of BLH at Pioneer Works, I preordered this in 2019. It was even better than I expected, just the most gorgeous folk music. I leaned on it like a crutch through that COVID year. Still love it! #5debutalbums2026

7ebra - Bird Hour (PNK SLM, 2023) Combining guitar synth, organ, Mellotron, and drum samples, twin sisters Inez and Ella’ music is as evocative and bittersweet as the cover photo. New single out next week! #5debutalbums2026

Game recognizing game, as the women of @subtrules talk about the women of Plumtree on the latest episode of You, Me & An Album. Awesome discussion, especially for fans of Canada/twee/power-pop! https://t.co/46GLnqrW2h

@discogs Maisy Owen - Dark On A Sunny Day (Tompkins Square)

[AnEarful @AnEarful]

Honey Cutt - Coasting (Kanine , 2020) What a delight to revisit this pandemic-era gem! As I said in my review, “Led by Kaley Honeycutt, this trio sails in as a lighter-than-air confection of indie jangle with a little bit of quirk to add to the fun.” #5debutalbums2026

@MOJOmagazine Does the Paris Texas soundtrack count? One of the finest film scores ever! Cooder uses spare instrumentation and indelible melodies to add further emotional depth to the storytelling.

[AnEarful @AnEarful]

@_motherslug That’s insane. But, yes, we do want more people to read Denis Johnson. Hopefully this leads to that!

Best Of 2025: Classical. While I can’t promise a broken dam, here at least is the first of my genre-specific lists from last year, featuring 72 fascinating releases, mostly from living composers. In a musical rut? Here’s your escape hatch! https://t.co/fVPU3y8pJl

[AnEarful @AnEarful]

The fecundity of our recent musical era is reflected in the 150 albums in my #5debutalbums2026 playlist. And the volume of music released means I haven't listened to some of these since the year they came out. Looking forward to revisiting those! https://t.co/vfzXe0AbK2
