2026 releases I have listened to (so far)

 As of 05.17.26

2026 has been a great year for new music. I have been digging the new albums by Lykke Li, Muna, Social Distortion, Metric, Aryem, Hoaxed, Belle Sisoski, Lovebites, and Brigitte Calls Me Baby.  Ladytron is so far the only band whose new album I can honestly say I straight up found it boring and uninteresting to listen to.
