Top 10 Albums of the First Half of 2021
Jun 6, 2021
No obvious standout so far, but a lot of enjoyable releases. It often takes a year or more to figure out what is great vs merely very good. Here are 10 promising 2021 albums to try:
Arlo Parks — Collapsed in Sunbeams
Psychedelic Porn Crumpets — SHYGA! The Sunlight Mound
BROCKHAMPTON — ROADRUNNER: NEW LIGHT, NEW MACHINE
Miranda Lambert, Jon Randall, Jack Ingram — The Marfa Tapes
Bonus: Great new releases from this week. May make the year-end list, but I need to listen to them more.
