My Favorite Albums Of 2025

Intro

Around this time last year, I shared my list of favorite albums from 2024 that have been in rotation. It’s nice sometimes to take a break from creating my own stuff to enjoy & gain inspiration from other musicians out there. This year’s list was tough to narrow down, as I feel like there was no shortage of great releases each week. Obviously, the list is completely subjective, but take a look if you're curious about my own personal taste & how that’s influenced my sound over the years. Tons of exciting new music & plans are coming from me for 2026, though!
