Lorelle Meets the Obsolete, the Guadalajara-based duo who made 2019’s best album

It was a good but somewhat strange year in music for me. I heard lots of music that I really loved. But so many of the artists who I already loved released work that was between somewhat disappointing (Sleater-Kinney, Kate Tempest, Bill Callahan, Michael Kiwanuka, Tacocat) and outright awful (Sturgill Simpson). I guess that can happen. I was just happy to discover new artists that I love. Here’s my favorite albums from 2019, with the exception that I thought it would be nepotistic to actually list Elizabeth’s great new album, so just buy it already.

  1. Lorelle Meets the Obsolete, De Facto

2. Jaimie Branch, Fly or Die II: Bird Dogs of Paradise

3. Julia Jacklin, Crushing

4. Our Native Daughters, Songs of Our Native Daughters

5. Yola, Walk Through Fire

6. Jamila Woods, Legacy! Legacy!

7. The Highwomen, The Highwomen

8. Purple Mountains, Purple Mountains

9. Chuck Cleaver, Send Aid

10. Leyla McCalla, The Capitalist Blues

And here’s 10 other albums I also thought were pretty damn good, in the order in which I heard them

  1. William Tyler, Goes West
  2. The Coathangers, The Devil You Know
  3. Priests, The Seduction of Kansas
  4. Mdou Moctor, Ilana (The Creator)–Moctor definitely put on the best show I saw in 2019, hands down.
  5. Alison Miller’s Boom Tic Boom, Glitter Wolf
  6. Rhiannon Giddens with Francesco Turrisi, There is No Other
  7. Adia Victoria, Silences
  8. The Mountain Goats, In League with Dragons
  9. Taylor Ho Bynum 9-Tette, The Ambiguity Manifesto
  10. Brittany Howard, Jaime
