it recently occurred to me that I have 0 albums from the current year in my music library, and I need to amend that. so what are some good albums/singles/etc from 2026 that resonated with you?

It feels like a more low-key year but there's still been a ton of good music. My music tastes are all over the place but maybe some of these will hit for you:

Vince Staples - Cry Baby: Killer rap album with a lot of rock and punk elements. The opener, Blackberry Marmalade is my favorite track.

Genesis Owusu - Redstar Wu & the Worldwide Scourge: Another great rap album. Death Cult Zombie is my favorite track.

Ratboys - Singing to an Empty Chair: Indie rock with a country/folk vibe. Anywhere is my favorite tack.

Hemlocke Springs - The Apple Tree Under the Sea: Deranged pop music, I love it. Head, Shoulders, Knees and Ankles is my favorite track.

Gorillaz - The Mountain: Their best album since Plastic Beach, has a lot of Indian musical influences. Orange County is my favorite track.

Mclusky - i sure am getting sick of this bowling alley: A short post hardcore/punk EP, love this band a lot. i know computer is my favorite track.

Kasey Musgraves - Middle of Nowhere: Straight up country album if you're into that. Dry Spell is my favorite track.

I didn't love the new They Might Be Giants album but the single Wu-Tang is fantastic.

I can't believe I forgot about Lip Critic - Theft World: Insane electropunk/digital hardcore album, really weird. Charity Dinner is my favorite track.
