Album Of The Year 2025!
Andy Bracken chooses his favourite new album of 2025... My favourite new album of 2025, you ask? Just one, like always, to make it hard? I usually give it to the one that, on receipt, I play the most. I genuinely thought it would be The Cords. It was always likely to be something indie-pop, and a bit jangly, because that’s where my ears have been pointing for much of the year. Ultimately, I have a soft spot for a girl-boy dynamic, with strong melodies and a slight quirkiness.
