“Pitchfork” released this Tuesday your list of the 50 best albums of 2025.
As is the hallmark of this publication, more associated with so-called alternative music, there are several names that go beyond the mainstream in the top 10. Nourished By Time, Geese or Wednesday are some of them, with first place proving to be a surprise: This is “Los Thuthanaka”, the duo’s album with the same nameformed by brothers of Bolivian descent Chuquimanani-Condori and Joshua Chuquimia Crampton.
Bad Bunny, who debuts in Portugal in May with two concerts at Estádio da Luz, occupies fifth place, while “Lux”, by Rosalía, comes in 16th place. Dijon and Cameron Winter complete the podium.
