Albums of the Year 2024 // Comps & Reissues
Artwork by George Adamson
Once more, with a sense of obligation or just plain admiration, we’ve compiled a list of the year’s most captivating compilations and reissues—those albums that stuck with us through 2024, lingering long after the first spin. These records don’t materialize out of thin air. They’re the result of meticulous effort from independent labels, the kind that commit their resources—financial, emotional, creative—to ensuring these releases aren’t just preserved but celebrated. It’s more than a business; it’s a calling and a way to keep faded brilliance alive.
And what brilliance it is. These albums serve as time capsules for fleeting subcultures, ephemeral moments of art that burned brightly before receding from view. Strange characters, unlikely visionaries, passionate amateurs, reclaimed treasures brought forward to restore or reinforce a lost legacy.
