I've listened to that a few times based on your recommendation and it's an odd record, great recommendation for this thread. Still not sure I'll buy it. |

 Lampião Rei - Papangu Ive not bought many lps this year, certainly of 'new' music. Out of those that i did, this sounds the most diverse and eclectic and fresh to me. Quite a few 2024 lps i invested in, whilst very enjoyable and satisfying to listen to, were not very original (much more 'retro' and re-treading the already fairly well-worn boards)

My top 4 would probably be
Olivia Block - The Mountains Pass (experimental acoustic improv) Kaatayra - Inpariquipe (Brazilian ambient folk metal(?)) Janel Leppin Ensemble Volcanic Ash - To March Is To Love (avant chamber jazz) Avalanche Kaito - Talitakum (Belgian/Burkina Faso avant rock, afro jazz, post punk trio) All on bandcamp |

^^ ^ I can get down for that. :) I don't really care much about what is considered to be Prog-rock or progressive except for this site purposes. Most of the modern albums I love are not in Prog Archives, and while they might be seen as progressive (adjective), they are not so likely to be seen as Progressive Rock (genre). I like art music, art films... two of my favourite albums in PA from 2024 are Godspeed You! Black Emperor's "No Title as of 13 February 2024 28,340 Dead" and The Smile's Wall of Eyes, and three of my favourites not in PA are by female singers, Beth Gibbons' Lives Outgrown, Julia Holter's Something in the Room She Moves and St. Vincent's All Born Screaming. And I really like Kimbanourke's Binjari amongst many others
One way to find unique and exciting new music is to listen to the kinds of genres/ styles one might not be that accustomed to. these are my top albums for this year so far (not well ordered). https://awesomeprog.com/release-polls/ap/aoty-2024/vote |

Hi, I'm not "down" on lots of stuff ... still listening, but I have to admit that the excitement that we felt 50 years ago when we heard a LP of unknown music, was much more memorable than a lot of stuff listed that I am hearing. I end up passing a lot of things ... specially in the list is another high school drummer in a "progressive" band ... somehow that is just weird in my mind ... a band that has a time keeper, because they can't play with each other without a time keeper ... and all it shows in my book is how much the whole thing is limited ... and the excitement is gone. There is enough out there, but I am finding the cross cultural mixes much more exciting than those that are considered "prog-rock" or "progressive" ... at least you know that some folks are trying hard to express themselves beyond an idea that has lost its appeal ... not just to me! Heck, I'm listening to the stuff listed on this thread ... much more entertaining than the top 25 in my book, when you get the chance to hear some way out there stuff ... which is what I love the most these days, but I miss the excitement of the early days ... it feels like the bad DJ's 50 years ago, that went onto the FM radio and played the "same old stuff" ... almost completely ignoring the new, and extended, stuff. Maybe I wish the "new stuff" (really new, not the same old stuff) was separated from all the rest ... so we know there is a difference, instead of having to comb through 10 bands, to find one to listen to quite a bit more!

^ I like Ævestaden too, and like that.
While I made this topic with Pedro in mind hoping to help him find something because he is "down" on lots of stuff, and I'd rather be "up" on lots of stuff (I could say that I'm done for what I am up for), hopefully this is a little treasure trove for various people into various musical idioms. I love lots of retro sounds and I don't need music to be very innovative and unique to love and respect it. Some is, some isn't. I do like experimentation often enough... So much of my favourite modern music draws on styles of the past. almost like homage to it (love lots of Krautrock inspired music, Neo-Psych, some Space Rock Revival, ones that draw on old lounge-y sounds and the groovy 60s etc.) I'm not as keen on the retro Symph bands commonly that are so well-liked by many at PA. |

^I payed most attention to "Looking for pretty unique sounding albums of 2024". I had a feeling the Weyes Blood-link would help:)
While I might prefer Ævestaden by themselves, their recent collaboration album with Kanaan "Langt, Langt Vekk" is still great. |

Molly Lewis is a siffleur (whistler) who has opened as support for Weyes Blood several times . This is from her 2024 debut album, but she has released two long EP's (with 12 songs in total) prior to it:
I got to add this 2021 video by her, as I find very enchanting, charming and fun: |
