Laura Marling eighth album, Patterns in Repeat, written after the birth of her daughter in 2023. Now 15 years into her career, the Grammy-nominated and Brit Award-winning artist explores motherhood and the inherited patterns within families.
2. Punisher by Phoebe Bridgers
This is likely one of Phoebe Bridgers’ most profound works—beautiful, at times eerie, and delicate, yet unafraid to bring intensity. The album’s rich instrumentation, vocal range, and dynamic energy make it an easy contender for a future classic.
3. The Record EP by Boygenius
A dreamy yet powerful 12-track release, technically not classified as an album, but possessing the depth of one. One anonymous fan cleverly describes the EP as “short stories with flawed narrators and wounded hearts.”
4. Here in the Pitch by Jessica Pratt
On her fourth album, Here in the Pitch, Jessica Pratt broadens her influences—drawing from '60s pop, Hollywood psychedelia, and bossa nova—delivering her sharpest work yet with a grounded, weightier sound.
5. Color Theory by Soccer Mommy
This album confronts Allison’s lifelong struggles with mental health and family. This is the first instance of the Soccer Mommy band recording live takes as the base for most tracks. The result is a raw, honest portrait of an artist who made waves with one of the best albums of 2018.
