Fleet Foxes
Fleet Foxes | 2008
Top 3: Tiger Mountain Peasant Song / Your Protector / Meadowlarks
This should be a staple in everyone's music collection.
Robin Pecknold's writing is unmatched.

How to Be a Human Being
Glass Animals | 2016
Top 3: Season 2 Episode 3 / Take a Slice / Agnes
When this album came out I shifted timelines. I still think this is some of their
finest work.

Imaginal Disk
Magdalena Bay | 2024
Top 3: Watching TV / Cry for Me / Angel on a Satellite
This album is everything to me. I love a well-executed concept album, and Magdalena
Bay really knows how to commit to one.
The creative direction, the sound, even their website is so cohesive and this stands out
so much as a work of art.
I could write a whole book about how unique their sound is! I'm so excited to see what
else they'll do.

I Love You, Honeybear
Father John Misty | 2015
Top 3: Chateau Lobby #4 / Strange Encounter / I Went to the Store One Day
A crowd pleaser. Who doesn't this album?

I Miss You Already + I Haven't Left Yet
Del Water Gap | 2023
Top 3: Quilt of Steam / NFU / Coping on Unemployment
A very graceful step up from his first album. There's a song here for so many
very specific scenarios and sometimes that's what you need.

Pines
A Fine Frenzy | 2012
Top 3: Pinesong / Avalanches (Culla's Song) / Riversong
The first concept album I ever heard. Pacific Northwest-coded.

Preacher's Daughter
Ethel Cain | 2022
Top 3: A House in Nebraska / Hard Times / Strangers
Visceral and painful, forever in love with Hayden's writing.

Stranger in the Alps
Phoebe Bridgers | 2017
Top 3: Scott Street / Killer / You Missed My Heart
I think Phoebe is going down as one of the greatest lyricists of our time. This
album captures such unique emotional depth.
