Welcome to Amazin’ Avenue Audio (The Show), the new/old favorite from Amazin’ Avenue editors Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore.

Every week, Brian and Chris pick albums to recommend for your hours spent not watching or obsessing about the Mets, and once a year, they dedicate an entire episode to recommending some new music. This is that episode! Each host picks 5 albums they really enjoyed this year to cap off another year of new music. We've also put together a Spotify playlist so you can check out a sampling of the picks right here.

Chris's Picks:

Parquet Courts - Sympathy for Life

Steve Gunn - Other You

Amyl and the Sniffers - Comfort to Me

Dinosaur Jr - Sweep It Into Space

Mdou Moctar - Afrique Victime 

Brian's Picks:

Aeon Station - Observatory

Colleen Green - Cool

SiP / Prezzano - Sip / Prezzano

Lou Barlow - Reason to Live

Low - Hey What
