Top Albums of the Year 2025 - Deepdale Podcast
Happy Christmas everyone! It's December, so in this episode of the Deepdale Podcast, Chris and Jason bring you their annual selection of favourite albums from the year. Recommendations of some additional presents you might want to buy yourself! For 2025 there has been an exceptional amount of amazing new music, so despite Jason's best efforts, he couldn't limit Chris to the usual 12 albums for Christmas, and instead Chris has selected 21 albums that he really loves and thinks you should own. We are incredibly pleased that 16 of the artists have given us permission to include a sample track, so not only does this episode include lots of chat about wonderful new music, but it also includes a lot of great music. So enjoy the listen, have an amazing festive season, and we hope you'll support many of these incredible artists by buying their albums. 00:00 - Introduction 00:57 - Chat about the albums Mahashmashana by Father John Misty, Constellations For The Lonely by Doves, and Spacehopper by Turin Brakes 02:42 - Chat about the album All The Right Weaknesses by Brown Horse 03:12 - Sample of the song All The Right Weaknesses by Brown Horse 04:12 - Chat about the album More Time More Speed by Pavey Ark 05:53 - Sample of the song Epoch by Pavey Ark 07:03 - Chat about the album Underwater Sky by Kyson Point 08:34 - Sample of the song If We Are Houses by Kyson Point 09:33 - Chat about the album Mystery Park by Kathryn Williams 12:28 - Sample of the song This Mystery by Kathryn Williams 13:44 - Chat about the album Silk & Filth by Sunday Driver 15:59 - Sample of the song Silk & Filth by Sunday Driver 17:21 - Chat about the album Songs From The Yonder by Skinny Lister 19:56 - Sample of the song Plough On by Skinny Lister 21:06 - Chat about the album Swilkie by Iona Lane 23:23 - Sample of the song Boat Song by Iona Lane 24:33 - Chat about the album Feast by Eliza Delf & The Wilderness 27:01 - Sample of the song Twine by Eliza Delf & The Wilderness 28:23 - Chat about the album Dreamers Dawn by Sam Kelly 30:50 - Sample of the song Dreamers Dawn by Sam Kelly 32:07 - Chat about the album Learning To Swim Again by Little Red Kings 34:43 - Sample of the song Finally I've Found by Little Red Kings 35:58 - Chat about the album Where The Land Meets Sky by Murmurations 37:36 - Sample of the song Rhubarb by Murmurations 38:58 - Chat about the album Dominion by IQ 39:55 - Sample of the song No Dominion by IQ 41:07 - Chat about the album Fine Day by Hannah White 42:14 - Chat about the album Euro Country by CMAT 44:05 - Chat about the album Deeper Down Meadowland by Floral Image 45:39 - Sample of the song Burning 305 by Floral Image 46:50 - Chat about the album How Things Tie In Knots by Neev 48:17 - Sample of the song Keep Low by Neev 49:27 - Chat about the album Safe Travels by Christina Alden & Alex Patterson 51:47 - Sample of the song Starless Sea by Christina Alden & Alex Patterson 53:08 - Chat about the album Wildfires by Polly Paulusma 55:13 - Sample of the song Scars by Polly Paulusma 56:13 - Forthcoming Deepdale Music live music gigs, including Man The Lifeboats , Georgia Shackleton with Aaren Bennett , Deepdale Barn Dance , John Ward Trio , Robert Vincent , Sarah McQuaid , Brancaster Staithe Sea Shanty Festival
