Music from 2023 that I listened to and liked

In college, I was in a band and ran a radio station. Music was a massive part of my life. Each year, I would make a little list of the albums that I listened to and enjoyed that were released in that year. I kept that going for a long while, but I haven’t done one in seven years. I guess it was partly down to apathy, the pandemic, and getting older, but this year I did listen to a few new things that I really enjoyed. I drove a lot more, revived my record player, and got a nice pair of noise-canceling earpods, so I spent more time listening to music than recent years. So I thought I’d revive this series.
