12.18.24 Indie rock & pop recommends vetted by Tricia Halloran
This is the gift I needed today!
We just caught Dr. Dog out at Red Rocks and it was phenomenal. This album is so good.
I love this approach to your end of year list! Didn't even realize Dr. Dog & Les Savy Fav released new records this year and Endlessness was a gem.
Thanks! I'm amazed how overlooked the Dr. Dog record was. So wrong. But it is so easy to miss new music these days, I think because a) there's SO MUCH and b) most of what we see is so algorithm-driven, it just keeps showing us what we already know.
Truly! Have you heard about Liz Pelly's new book? Or read her articles on Spotify? https://harpers.org/archive/2025/01/the-ghosts-in-the-machine-liz-pelly-spotify-musicians/ & https://www.amazon.com/Mood-Machine-Spotify-Perfect-Playlist/dp/1668083507
