Along with the scores of new artists and new music that floods my speakers, every year also brings me a slew of discoveries, older tunes that are new to these ears and cement themselves to my psyche just as much as any instantly pre-ordered new jam. This year brought me some old Middle Eastern film score music, some avant garde jazz from Texas, '70s folk that i only previously knew from samples, a spoken word oddity with folk and drone made by a witch, some early new wave from San Francisco, an old French chanson artist rediscovering himself through synth pop and jazz in Japan, old school funk and soul, some private press power pop years ahead of its time, an experimental mix of electronic music, post-punk, new-wave, and jazz, and piano demo from an '80s proto-emo band. You know, the good stuff.
I can't imagine 2024 without these tracks blasting aside the new stuff, so check 'em out below.
1. Ahmed Malek - "Theme Djalti"
2. Hannibal Marvin Peterson & The Sunrise Orchestra - "The Bombing"
3. Bonnie Dobson - "Light of Love"
4. Barbara, The Gray Witch - "Witch's Love Song"
5. Units - "I-Night"
6. Pierre Barouh - "Les Uns et Les Autres"
7. Bobby Womack - "Across 110th Street"
8. The Bob Hughes Band - "You Broke My Heart"
9. Peter Gordon and Love of Life Orchestra - "Young Girls"
I'll be back tomorrow, and you should be too for my favorite old movie discoveries of 2024.
