I felt a disconnect to music in 2017, but happily things improved in 2018. While I didn’t listen to that many new releases I did listen to a lot of older music (mostly from familiar artists) that I either hadn’t heard or hadn’t connected with before and for a while I got pretty obsessed with music again, which was a great feeling. So while the bulk of the albums I listened to this last year were actually not released in 2018 there was some great current stuff in there too.
Here’s a collection of some of my favourite music from the last year, informed by my listening data from last.fm.
