Linked below are new releases and discoveries from 2024. Please feel free to download and share the PDFs. Once again, this was a very busy year with the real job, which kept me away from my feeds for extended periods. I’m sure that there are records missing. My apologies if your release is not listed – please know that it wasn’t intentional, and you’re welcome to reach out to me (mike@6forty.com) with details so I can add it to my already-growing 2025 list. Thanks!

< cindytalk :: and now in sunshine >
the first time ever…
muster
under glass
playtime
return to pain
everybody is christ
circle of shit
prince of lies
help me lift you up
it’s luxury
and now in sunshine
janey’s love
in this world…

6forty’s primary goal is to be a comprehensive on-line resource for independent music, encouraging people to explore (and buy!) the releases that they read about on the site, or hear on a 6forty mix-tape, or on 6forty radio. So when it comes to selecting favorites from 2022, I’ll leave that decision up to you. Listed below are the records that have been on heaviest rotation at 6forty HQ throughout the year (release date order). Follow the links (via the band names), press play, click buy, and most importantly, spread the word about the music that you love, and encourage others to do the same. Even if you can’t afford to buy the releases, a simple social media post to your friends would be an invaluable benefit to the bands. Thanks! Please stay safe and well. Happy New Year! – Michael
