2026 Releases I have listened to so far

No playlist this week, instead here is my current list of 2026 releases I have listened to this year so far. Looking forward to new albums by Bunny X, SKALD, The Hu, The Warning, Eleine, Pirate Queen, and Ignea to drop. I am sure there will be more albums to drop between now and December. 

I am still not sure if 2026 is a better year for new music than 2025 but it has been really solid to me. Unfortunately there have been some duds but I won't mention them because I am not going to insult other people's art. I think it is dumb when people think content creators should publicize businesses or art that they don't like. Shitting on other people's hard work is classless and clearly humanity is losing is its humanity in 2026. Just look what the regime is doing to immigrants, women, and LGBTQ rights. Yeah no thanks. I will not be sharing the albums I was disappointed in BECAUSE I am not that big of an asshole.
