Jamhot. Studio Albums of the Year.

As the year draws to a close, it's time for us to take a look at the sounds that have been powering the studio throughout 2024. 

It feels like it's been a particurally cracking year for new music, making it quite tricky to select just a few albums that have made our year. But choose we must - so here we go, with the non-difinitive list (as there's some we've likely missed)...

A mightly list, and probably quite a few that we have forgotten about. Of course, Jamie would like us to add that in his opinion there have been no good new albums since the 70's, apart from Ugly Kid Joe (of course). 

Hopefully next year might be as kind to us with the studio sounds... we're looking forward to seeing what's in store.
