My 15 current favorite 2026 albums

Since the year is half way over, I thought I would post my top 10 current favorite 2026 albums today. Ignore the 1-10. The numbering doesn't have any significance right now. I must say 2026 has been a great year for darkwave music. 

Super excited about new albums by Eleine, Ignea, and The Hu. The Hu's new album drops in less than a month. I think Ignea's new album comes out in the fall, and new Eleine at the end of the year. 

Edit: I decided 15 instead of 10 because I felt like I was leaving out some really great albums.
