A quick music video post of some of my favorite albums of January 2025. Not a lot of words, but there’s three wonderful songs/albums.

First a long time favorite Flora Hibberd from Paris, Texas. This time via Eau Claire, Wisconsin where she recorded her new album Swirl with another big personal favorite Shane Leonard. Magic all around and I already know this will be one of my most loved albums of 2025.

Next over to Austin, Texas. I wasn’t familiar with Nicole Hale beforehand, but thankfully I found her beautiful new album Some Kind of Longing. Such a gorgeous slow burner of a record. Thor Harris and the Little Mazarn people lend a hand among others. Love this music video for Remembered This Way as well.

Carrying our bags to New York to meet up with songwriter Renny Conti. Another new find for me and I found his self-titled album a week or so after the release, but instantly fell for it. Here’s Looking at the Geese from the album to wrap up this little blog post.

It’s been ages since I’ve made any kind post that was not a playlist or a year-end list. First I didn’t have the energy and then I sort of lost the belief that it matters. So I kinda just let things slide and it has never done me any good. I don’t know if I’ll ever really start again, but Hello Emerson inspired me to make at least one post. Therefore here’s a very quick music video entry of songs that I love.

Starting with that beauty of a song from Hello Emerson. Their new album To Keep Him Here will come out on the 29th of March and the latest single called Church was accompanied with the loveliest music video. Life, love and death. Oh my. Sweet work of art.

Maybe my absolute favorite songwriter right now is Anna Tivel and she just released a wonderful first single Disposable Camera from her forthcoming album Living Thing. Due out May 21st on Fluff and Gravy Records. I will keep a close eye on that.

My favorite album of the year so far is Critterland by Willi Carlisle and there’s a brand new music video for the song called When The Pills Wear Off. This one hits hard, but I love everything about it. Critterland is out now on Signature Sounds.

Wrapping this first post in ages with a new song from another big personal favorite. Canadian Michael Feuerstack also has a new album on the horizon. Eternity Mongers will be released by Forward Music Group on the 19th of April. Here’s the great new single and music video Big Sails.
