Favorite Albums of 2024: The Fall Top 12



Last Friday marked the beginning of the finals, which means that somewhere along the way, we very quietly came up with a Fall Top 12, curated from all the music in rotation from July to October.  
I traditionally don't make a video covering this list on my channel, so the only place that you will see it is RIGHT HERE:

2024 Fall Top 12
Asgier Trausti - Dýrð í dauðaþögn
Autechre - LP5
Azmari -Maelstrom
The Beths - Expert in a Dying Field
The Decemberists - As It Ever Was, So It Will Be Again
Dewa Alit & Gamelan Salukat - Chasing the Phantom
Wesley Fuller - All Fuller, No Filler
Peter Gabriel - i/o (Bright Side Mix)
Knower - Knower Forever
Leprous - Melodies of Atonement
St. Vincent - All Born Screaming
Jack White - No Name

Fall Saves

These albums are included in the current Finals bracket, along with the Mid-Year top 12, 6 Spring Saves, 6 Fall Saves, and 6 "wild card" entries from November.  We also can't forget the amazing list curated by my viewership.  It is completely fascinating how much it has diverged from my own "prime" bracket
