25 Albums from 2025 (so far)

Alright we're nearly halfway through 2025, so I think now's the time to look back and share with you a big list of my favorite records released so far this year. I also put together a playlist with a track from each album, some time was spent sequencing it but you're also fine to just put it on shuffle.
