Overlooked 2024

So, now that we’re done building the megalist and all the top {variable x} lists are out. What music did you discover (through those lists or other means) that you missed out on and would like to spotlight.

I’m currently going through this here list:

Qobuz’s Beyond the Mainstream list for 2024

The very first album is getting a second play today after hearing for the first time while running an errand.



Prude, the fifth album from Drug Church. They make punk music with a touch of metal. RIYL Bad Religion or (for god’s sake I can’t believe I’m saying this) Offspring. @scotthilk if you aren’t hip, you should be.

Will check it!
 
As far as new music goes, haven’t really listened to enough. However, this was a year I dove deeper into Sonny Rollins and Wes Montgomery’s catalogues and it’s been very rewarding

Coltrane’s Blue Train was the album that make me like the sax. Rollins’ Colossus was the one that made me fall in love with the sax. (Dex is probably my fave). Montgomery is someone I still need to dig deep in.
 
This one is cool:


I read it was Post Punk. It feels like that James Brandon Lewis with Messthetics but with a healthy dose of the London Scene (Shabaka especially)/Roni Size thrown in. So of course, need @avecigrec to put ears on it.

I don't love the vocals, but I don't all the way hate them either. Musically, though, this is super cool. I'll definitely be giving it a few more listens, and keep my eyes and ears out for future releases from them.
 
I don’t know that I love this one, may need a few listens to open up. That being said, I’m certain that the folk version of Radiohead vibes will be right up some of y’all’s alley:
 
This is a shit ton of fun. Very melodic and layered experimental art pop. Lots of cool harmony work.


I enjoyed that one quite a bit. I think it's something my wife would really dig, gonna have to try and get her to give it a go.

I've really been enjoying this one quite a lot:



Their sound draws upon myriad influences with dub, electronics, hip hop, psych, jazz, post-punk and Afrobeat all somehow ingrained within the mix.

Chill and funky. Gives me real Air meets Colemine vibes.
 
Oooh, I'm going to use this revised thread to spread some love to one of my favorite albums from last year that I don't see enough people discovering!
The group is called A Song For You. They are a vocal ensemble from Germany. The album is called Home.
Just try to keep the tears at bay while listening to this song:
Listen to Believer by A Song For You on Qobuz Open Qobuz

I need more people to hear this gorgeous album!
