The Fashionably Late Top 125 of 2019: Jeanines

Another rough year corresponded to another bumper crop of excellent music. Once again, my list is huge, because I fell in love with each of these 125 records and found it impossible to not include all of them in my fashionably late list.

I'm choosing to post my favorites in alpha order from A-Z again this year. You'll probably find some records that everyone and their fifth cousin raved about, but I hope you'll also find a few records that might be new to you, and that you'll fall in love with them as much as I have.

My thanks, as always, to the artists who created these records.

Who: Jeanines

What: Jeanines

When: June 2019

Where: Slumberland Records

Why: Spooky Brooklyn jangle pop. Twosome Alicia Jeanine and Jed Smith's self-titled debut, Jeanines, brings together postcards from times and places past and gives them new life with a dynamic, lo-fi punch that's both urgent and wistful. These kicky, tart ditties are bittersweet and perfectly pouty, winsome and irrepressible - a totally swoonworthy sound.
