Well, well, well, if it isn't PETTER'S TOP 5, back again for the 12th year in a row! Not as prolifically updated as it once was, but still a steadfast, trustworthy guide to your most eclectic 5-song tasters of the best in music, new and old. I've already delayed for almost two months, so let's kick things off with a bang, shall we?
Brama - S'enraija
Feels only natural to start the year with a hurdy gurdy-driven song from Southern France sung in Occitan, doesn't it? A little warm up with the intro, and then one killer of a riff drop.
Nilüfer Yanya - Like I Say (I runaway)
Maybe my favourite new album of 2024. I've been infatuated with her voice since the eternal Top 5 favourite Melt in 2019, and this new record exercises an almost magnetic force over me. So sensual, so smart, so cool.
Horslips - Dearg Doom
One of the great horror movies I saw as part of Gothenburg Film Festival had this as its credits outro, and I had to stay in the cinema as it played out. Great Irish hit based on the tale of Cú Chulainn, the Hound of Ulster!
Mdou Moctar - Oh France
Anti-colonial shredding with Nigerian guitar god, yes please!
Blood Incantation - The Message [Tablet III]
As might be noticed, it is the time of the year when I catch up on the Best of 2024-lists, and this album is on almost all of them. Rightly so. Epic does not being to describe it. Listen to the whole thing! And to fully appreciate it, listen to it many times and focus on different instruments each time. The drums for example: woah!
Fight the tide of greed, open your heart and believe
Sow peace through deeds
