As an audio engineer, I have to spend a lot of time listening to music. My record number of minutes on Spotify was 50,091 (or 35 days straight) in 2018, and I have yet to get anywhere near that number since. I really want to know what I was doing to warrant listening to that much music.
Here are two of my favorite albums:
I wouldn't consider myself a massive Hozier fan, but I do like a lot of his stuff. This album was the anthem for the spring semester of my sophomore year, when this album was released (2019). I was particularly obsessed with Almost (Sweet Music), and I'm pretty sure it was in my Spotify Top 5 for 2019. I also really love Shrike, and I just re-discovered Dinner and Diatribes. Would That I is another good one.
An oldie, but a goodie. I was nine when this album came out, and I've loved it ever since. My all-time favorite is Lost!, but Strawberry Swing is a close second. There is an acoustic version of Lost! called Lost? on a separate EP, and I honestly prefer it over the version on this album. I am a huge Coldplay fan, so having to pick between which album to put here was difficult.
