Budos Band - VII

budosband.bandcamp.com/album/budos-...

the lads are back in town with some heavier, almost metal riffs (think early queens of the stone age) meeting their clean af afrobeat

sylvie courvoisier/mary halvorson - bone bells

sylviecourvoisier.bandcamp.com/album/bone-b...

very special album by two of musicians completely in command of their instruments. halvorson's about ghosts also just jaw droppingly pretty

Anouar Brahem - After the Last Sky

anouarbrahem.com/en/discograp...

Can't believe it's been so long since Blue Maqams (which i compositionally still prefer) but this is a beautiful album that's more of the same (same band as Maqams) with Anja Lechner on cello. Django Bates is amazing as always.

Yaz ahmad - a paradise in the hold

The Bahrain-hailing trumpeters most compositionally adventerous album finds her drawing on diverse Gulf folk music traditions to make these really operatic jazz comps. my favorite of hers yet.

Yowzers - Ben Lamar Gay (and ensemble)

intlanthem.bandcamp.com/album/yowzers

Actually have no way to describe BLG's work but if i had to try, an improv/psychedelic take on black spiritual music - maybe my album of the year

Kokoroko - Tuff Times Never Last

kokoroko.bandcamp.com/album/tuff-t...

Astounding and really silly album by the band where they take their afrobeat influence and make it meet a whole other genre - mainly UK 80s, 90s rnb - think fela kuti meets sade by way of loose ends

Sudan Archives - The BPM

Sudan Archives ode to Detroit and her most uptempo joint yet, brilliant tracks
November 23, 2025 at 3:25 PM
My albums of the year (probs missed a few and in no order)

Pat Thomas - Bliss of Bliss

patthomaskonnekt.bandcamp.com/album/the-bl...

Unreal jazz piano improv by one of the contemporary greats. sad no vinyl.

Grilled aubergines deepfried in ghee, with parsley tomstoes, burrata and sumac onions. very easy and flavor bomb of a weeknight dinner
