I'll be lucky to pick something by January

Not a super strong year so far. I guess it comes down to Xiu Xiu, Sun Kil Moon, Ariel Pink, or Brand New.

Kid-Koala & Emilíana-Torrini - Music To Draw To: Satellite
>an uncharted musical journey: an expansive work of ambient electronic soundscapes and chilling ballads in an inaugural volume in the Music To Draw To series using an array of synthesisers, keys, guitars, strings, turntables.

Hidden Orchestra - Dawn Chorus
>Masterminded by multi-instrumentalist Joe Acheson, using recordings of dawn choruses, “the singing of a large number of birds before dawn each day, particularly during the breeding season”.

Luke Vibert - UK Garave Vol.1
>A riotous romp through imaginatively used samples, familiar piano riffs, customary beats and other rave tropes, the master of mischief Luke Vibert puts together a 10 track ode to the era of M25 convoys, mobile phone hotlines and raving amongst dogs on strings in British aerodrome fields.

Izo FitzRoy - Skyline
>Raw, dynamic performances and beautifully honest songwriting with uplifting harmonies delivered via her powerful lead vocal and jazz tinged keys work

Hot 8 Brass Band - On the Spot
> In true Hot 8 style, this album pairs hard-hitting, heart-on-sleeve sentiment with party-fuelling beats, hooks and grooves; raw funk and charismatic hip hop vocals mix with Big Easy jazz elegance.

The Allergies - Push On
>they effortlessly fuse funk, soul, disco, hip-hop and breaks into dancefloor-ready nuggets of ear candy.

Quantic - Curao
>The culmination of world-renowned British producer Quantic and Colombian folklore singer Nidia Góngora which brings a new and highly original interpretation of the unique, rich and mystical musical traditions of the Colombian Pacific Coast

Lance Ferguson - Raw Material
>began by recruiting some of the country's finest musicians, he recorded a dozen tracks with them, cuts filled with soulful grooves and funky twists, then handed a vinyl copy of each of his recorded tracks to a different producer, to use as a template to sample for their own production.

Came out of nowhere and became my favorite pretty damn quick

Anything but Humanz.
God fucking damned reddit trashlords and their supportive Circlejerk.

Yes, gorillaz's gimmick is to change their sound, they don't have a sound.
But.
Gorillaz's gimmick is also producing good music, not Trap Trash, disgusted by how this turned out.

>>74659329
i dont remember seeing truly positive sentiments even on r/gorrilaz early after release

>>74659388
They were apologetic as reddit always is. Like, uh, when you totally know that everyone is completely dissapointed but they try to keep the mood up and downvote to hell anyone that says they didn't like the album, when no one did like the album? You know, when there are posts saying stuff defending the album, that's when you know shit smells. When there are people defending it instead of everyone simply talking positively about something with a few people hating on it, when you see everyone defending it instead of simply praising it you know something's fucking wrong. And reddit was on that mode through the release.
Thing is, god, that album killed the band for me.
Should have left it where they were, Do Ya Thing was a good single to kill it off.

Villains

>>74659423
>Thing is, god, that album killed the band for me


Yup. This album ruined any future interest in the band for me. Demon Dayz was the soundtrack of my 17 year old days. Now I'm ready for them to just die.

Pretend - Circular Ræsoning

Very slick post-rock/math rock release in April

>>74659462
Man. Really. Do ya thing was a good song to kill it all off with. It left a last taste of the band and a videoclip that explained the last status of the band members in universe. The "Oh no, eviction, what's the band gonna do?" was good enough to let it die there. Hyping us up for a new release and then releasing shitty, experimental trap, was a worse choice than just leaving it at "They are getting the boot off this London flat, by the way say hello to your new alarm tone song".

Narkopop so far

Youtube Poops are probably one of the best things out there.

>>74659462
dude you and the people of your like need to chill the fuck out just because an artist releases something trash doesn't you just put a big black X on them for the rest of time...

>>74659462

I'd rather Gorillaz have 12 albums and 6 of them be good than only have 6 albums with only 4 of them good.

Damn.

Haven't listened to anything this year as much.

>>74659740

I doubt they'll recover. They've progressively got worse.

Crack-Up

"First Opus" by Sinjin Hawke

It's at least 8/10 and one of his best albums

I kinda liked Psychopomp and thought June was pretty good, but this really snuck up on me. I didn't expect to love it as much as I did, and I kind of hate myself for it.

>>74659227

Kendrick who?

No one liked the Gorillaz album in the first place

For me it's Everything Everything- A Fever Dream

>>74661708
I genuinely wonder if it's some type of singing I'm hearing in the first 20 seconds or just some synth.

Nice, we have some matches. Cool to see some Joan of Arc love. Any recs from your chart that are not on mine?

Right now my AOTY is Xiu Xiu. Will have to wait and see where LCD Soundsystem, Protomartyr, TWIABP, DFA 1979 and Death Grips fall.

My IQ is substantially higher than the median for this board, ergo I have no need for popular music.

probably Laurel Halo - Dust
Ellen Arkbro - For Organ and Brass is also good

it's simple they just listen to an album once and if they vaguely like it they put it on their charts to look "cultured" even though they look like newfags

Kurtag is by far the shittiest late-20th century composer. ECM puts out good stuff but even I had to pass on this one.

I like some stuff posted already but one that hasn't been mentioned yet is saagara - 2. I love indian fusion and all of waclaw zimpels work that I have heard. Still have to check out the first album

>>74663913
>it's simple they just listen to an album once and if they vaguely like it they put it on their charts to look "cultured" even though they look like newfags
I'll actually give you 2 per row on this.

And I gave Ellen Arkbro a 1/5. I have not heard a worse album this year.
