The 50 Best Albums of 2023 cos.lv/GKXe50Qf1tf

50. PJ Harvey — I Inside the Old Year Dying

On her 10th studio album, I Inside the Old Year Dying, PJ Harvey strives for newness without veering off too far from the familiar. Revisiting her 2022 epic poem Orlam made room for a personal and transformative record, a testament to her genius. All 12 tracks are written in the same rural Dorset vernacular and follow the protagonist’s coming-of-age story, alluding to Harvey’s desire for reinvention. While her captivating poetry remains at the forefront, the backdrop of eerie field recordings and minimalist instrumentation allow for a more tranquil effort; tracks such as “Prayer at the Gate” and “Lownesome Tonight” have gentle tones, while “All Souls” and “A Noiseless Noise” are rather chilling. Yet it still stands strong amongst her previous concept-centric entries, making PJ Harvey’s first proper release in seven years well worth the wait.

49. Deeper — Careful!

Deeper’s third album and their first for Sub Pop is knotty, frenzied, and utterly crisp. The Chicago post-punk quartet write itch-scratching guitar riffs with an almost scientific precision, but their evolving structures and impressive full-band dynamics act as an element of surprise. Vocalist Nic Gohl conjures singular, evocative images, alternating between tension and release sometimes within the same couplet. As an album titled Careful! suggests, there’s a wariness that characterizes many of these songs — still, they find ways to burst with clarity, control, and catharsis. The climax of lead single “Build a Bridge” seems to say it best: “It’s the right kind of rhythm.”
