Here’s the first round up of great albums released so far in 2025, these are from January and February.
Abdomen ‘Yes I Don’t Know’ (FatCat)
‘Yes I Don’t Know’ is the debut album from Netherlands versatile rock trio Abdomen, available through FatCat Records. The 12 track album lurches from volatile tracks to ones which are more groove led. It’s a captivating listen.
Sophie Jamieson ‘I Still Want To Share’ (Bella Union)
The 2nd album from London based singer songwriter Sophie Jamieson, whom we’ve been fans of since 2013 when we crowned ‘Where’as our EP of the year. ‘I Still Want To Share’ is Sophie’s boldest album yet, collaborated yet still fiercely independent, a delicate collection of intricate songs which cleverly weave around the emotions of living.
Flora Hibberd ‘Swirl’ (22Twenty)
'Swirl' is the debut album from Paris based British artist Flora Hibberd. A comprehensive listen taking in many styles, the multi-instrumentalist pulls everything together in a pleasant, compact style.
Horsegirl ‘Phonetics On and On’ (Matador)
Produced by Cate Le Bon, ‘Phonetics On and On’ is the addictive 2nd album from the New York trio Horsegirl.
FACS ‘Wish Defense’ (FACS)
‘Wish Defense’ is the 6th album from post punk band FACS, and it was the final album to be produced by the late great Steve Albini.
bdrm ‘Microtonic’ (Rock Action)
The third album from Hull’s shoegaze come electronica inspired quartet, bdrm. The 10 track album seems like their most complete so far, taking the best of their washed out guitar bits from their previous two albums and melding them with a more dance focused direction.
Deep Sea Diver ‘Billboard Heart’ (Sub Pop)
We’ve been fans of Deep Sea Diver since we loved their 2nd album Secrets back in 2016. Now they’re back with their fourth album ‘Billboard Heart’ and we’ve fallen in love again! There’s guitar riffs and solos aplenty, which combines perfectly with the intensity and range of Jessica Dobson’s vocals.
