Last week the Stereogum staff listed our picks for the year’s best albums so far. A few weeks earlier, during our visit to Salt Lake City for Kilby Block Party, our team posed the question to some of our favorite artists at the fest. Kilby performers including Lucy Dacus, the Last Dinner Party, This Is Lorelei, Ben Kweller, Cardinals, and more weighed in with their own 2026 album recommendations. (Isaac Brock opted out because he exists outside of time. The universe is shaped exactly like the Earth, etc., etc.)

I don’t think of Hovvdy as a band where the singer holds a microphone, which is to say I don’t think of core duo Will Taylor and Charlie Martin as frontmen in the classic sense.
