I was just reminded that for the past two years, I did a "favourite albums of 66.6% of this year" post. So here's mine for 66.6% 2024 (as usual, mostly bands you've probably never heard of 😂):

ZAZEN BOYS: らんど (Japanese fuck-knows-what-genre-this-is-its-just-zazen-boys). A love letter to Tokyo, although 向井秀徳 Shutoku Mukai would probably not agree.

toe: NOW I SEE THE LIGHT (Japanese math rock)

And So I Watch You From Afar: Megafauna (Northern Irish post rock)

つしまみれ tsushimamire: バンドは水物 (Japanese art punk /indie)

角銅真実 Manami Kaduko: Contact (Japanese acoustic/experimental)

Bolis Pupul: Letter To Yu (Belgian-ish electronic). Literally a letter to his HK-born mother, figuratively a love letter to Hong Kong.

张醒婵 Zhang Xingchan: No，no！(Chinese noise/avant pop and just about any other genre you can think of)

yonige: Empire (Japanese indie)

後藤まりこアコースティックviolence Pop - Mariko Gotō Acoustic Violence Pop: 未来 (Japanese noise pop/ acoustic/experimental)

Melt-Banana: 3+5 (Japanese digital grindcore)
