WHEN THE PAWN : fiona apple.
just lovley. just insane. every track is a banger but one. you know the one. i listen to it anyway. my faves are on the bound, to your love, a mistake, and i know.
AMNESIAC : radiohead
truly the better more beautiful sister of Kid A. more experimental, more weird and freaky, more of thom yorke just being a funny guy. i listen to this album front to back at least once a month. my record is 6 times in one day. i was in colorado on the most beautiful hike and i listened to the album during and after, so now i see the mountains when i hear it.
TO PIMP A BUTTERFLY : kendrick lamar
i don’t listen to kendrick regularly, but this album is LOVELYYYYY it’s so so good and the narrative builds throughout the album so you really gotta sit through the whole thing sometime. For Free? is the best track idc. these walls is a close second.
I GOT HEAVEN : mannequin pussy
YUM YUM YUMMYYYYYYY. the punk and pop mix is so good it makes me feel like i am so hot and sexy kiss kiss mannequin pussy i love you
GIRL WITH FISH : feeble little horse
favorite album as of late. it’s so fun and poetic and shoegazy and folky all at once. Steamroller is a banger.
HOMEBODY : homebody
weird project started by a local ABQ band. show them some love! weird stuff, but it’s really fun.
PUSSY WHIPPED : bikini kill
probably my all time fav punk album. it was released before Joan Jett reproduced all their stuff so you really get that diy off beat feel. the constant anger throughout and the switch into For Tammy Rae is so fun. i personally love alien she and tammy rae.
