So here it is the much coveted “JanglePopHub Oscars” bringing you our Top 30 Albums of 2023 (all tracks are detailed in our YouTube playlist and individually below)
Please note:
-
The selections are jangle-pop and jangle-pop adjacent albums (there is a clue in the name of our blog as to why this may be). Therefore the people who mailed me last year because an Albanian techno act was ‘overlooked’ may hopefully garner a more specific understanding this year.
-
Not for us “in no particular order”. These selection are strictly in order of preference. ‘Brutal’ is our middle name ! However, if you are in our top 30 then you should consider your act somewhat special!
-
I do not necessarily need to know that you think number 13 should be number 17, or that number 2 should be swapped with number 4. Please spare me the mails this year !
-
We do not include albums released on our Subjangle label. It would be like choosing the favourite among your kids !!!
-
I am however, extremely interested in any jangle-pop/jangle-pop adjacent albums you feel should be in there. Please use the comments sections to discuss.
Nice to see “Beigeification” here, and thanks for including my review!

One of my favorites is “Magic Spells Abound” by Kevin Robertson, which I’m surprised is not represented, as it’s one of the jangle-pop albums you asked me to review.

It was released on our Subjangle label…I do not include Subjangle releases as I could not possibly choose between my babies !!!

I was really hoping to see Unmade Beds by Deep Dyed make the list. Your blog was how I discovered it and it’s one of my 10 favorite albums of this year.

Funny you say that… it was one of five (others Swansea Sound, Pop Crimes, Pop Filter and Space Kelly) that just missed the cut. Great album !

Was Hurry’s “Dont Look Back” not “Jangle Pop Adjacent” enough? You called it a “best of 2023” in your review, and I agree with that assessment!

You missed Hurry’s “Don’t Look Back.” You called it a “best of 2023” in your review, and I agree with that assessment!
