Tracks from Pitchfork’s ‘The Best Music of 2023 So Far’

WE will get more of these lists…
when we get to December. Those that celebrate the best albums of the year. I am interested in Pitchfork’s ongoing and rolling list of the best music/albums of 2023. They are notoriously hard to please, so it is interesting looking at their suggestions! I have already declared my favourite albums of the year in a feature or two. I will revise and update that in December. For now, I wanted to compile a playlist featuring songs from the albums (they have picked a few E.P.s too) that Pitchfork feel are the strongest and most interesting of this year. There is one album, SZA’s SOS, that I have not included, as it was released last December. I am also not including any albums not available on Spotify (just the one) - though the vast majority of albums are represented. Below are some wonderful cuts from the best albums of a very strong year for music! Maybe you will own quite a few of them; others you may not be aware of. Every site and source has their own views when it comes to the best of the best. At the end of this feature is Pitchfork’s…
BEST of 2023 picks.
