TOP 10 ALBUMS OF 2025

Here the best records I heard this year in 2025. Yet another incredible year for music. Insane good!

10. Crashbox by Monkeyhouse

Monkey House is a an absolute Toronto treasure. Their latest carries on a style that I thought was long gone and man oh man do they nail it!

9. Oh! The Ocean by The Wombats

The Wombats are just wonderful. Every few years the lads from Liverpool make a record and it's fab. Latest is their best, in my opinion!

8. Constellations of the Lonely by Doves

In addition to being one of the best titles I've ever heard, the latest Doves is one of the best albums of 2025. Just a shredder and a stunner...

7. No Rain No Flowers by The Black Keys

The Black Keys are a fucking rager of a thunderstorm. Every album MINT. 

6. Lovin' You by Richard Ashcroft

Richard back. Yes.

5. A Matter of Time by Laufey

Laufey...oh Laufey...always so beautiful...every time...

4. The Human Fear by Franz Ferdinand

Franz Ferdinand just kills. Latest is a smorgasbord of complete insanity and wonder.

3. Twilight Override by Jeff Tweedy

Thank you, world, for Jeff Tweedy and his finest record to date. 

2. Flowers by Durand Jones and the Indications

Soul music is alive and well in 2025 with Durand Jones and the Indications leading the way.

 

1. Can't Shake This Dream by Two Harbors 

The best album of 2025 is Can't Shake This Dream by Two Harbors. I've already chosen the title track as my track of the year but the whole record is mega. All ten tracks, beyond spectacular. I'm so grateful to this band for continuing to play that Brit rock sound and doing it so well.

 

Congrats to all top ten artists. Here's to 2025!!!
