Welcome to my blog, I write about the music I like.
Somehow I managed to find 50 records to love in 2023. There were some personal favourites returning with new material like, Blur, Aphex Twin, The Chemical Brothers, DJ Shadow, Steve Mason. And so many of the returning cast of 2021 dropping new material, Nation of Language, Tirzah, Vanishing Twin, Loraine James, Gazelle Twin. Not to mention fresh new sounds from the cutting edge to the next big thing, such as Bar Italia, Lee Gamble, Sofia Kourtesis.
Throughout the ups and downs of 2021, music has been there. Here's a run down of my favourite 50 albums from a year in which I kept up to date with new releases for the first time in a very long time.
