Only a few days under two months late, I’ve got a list of my favorite records of February 2025 below. Truthfully I wasn’t paying too much attention to new music from the month aside from the Horsegirl and Oklou records, but looking back I had a nice array of records to pick from. Oh yeah and I mean, anything Yo La Tengo was going to make it, even if it was the film score for a 20-year old movie. I was also planning my wedding all of February, so hey. I’ve got some leeway here.

No Warm Visions descriptions below because that part of my brain is still getting repaired.

Horsegirl – Phonetics On and On [Matador]
