So much great music this year! I can never pick favourites as there's so many I'd want to recommend from 2024... But:
MY GOD — TAPIR!
Wonderful song which addresses the strangeness of the modern world, both it's beauty and its horrors. Very cute, weird music video:

I've linked the Spotify above, as well.
Absolutely fell in love with Tapir! at the end of 2023. They released their debut album as a series of EPs, with the first two at the end of the year and the final one at the end of January. I'd be picking their songs Gymnopédie or Eidolon if they came out this year...
They're a wonderful live act as well — seen them in various forms (solo set from the singer, intimate set in the back room of a pub, and grandiose theatre piece with choir, props, and dancers) and each has been a very special experience.
