Albums of the year
19 - Joe Kaptein "Pool Sharks"
Jazz fusion at its very best and straight out of Aotearoa.
This groovy chilled-out record is fantastically recorded and positions Kaptein right at the forefront of the next wave of jazz musicians coming through.

Albums of 2025
20 - Ty Segall "Possession"
He is prolific when it comes to releases and his third album in two years might just be his most consistent yet.
With a mixture of electric and acoustic tunes, Possession has everything you need out of a Ty Segall record.
