I don't think anything has topped this this year, but I'm interested in what you guys think of it.
What's your AOTY?

i was almost certain that there's nobody who accually likes burnswick east
>>75172293
it's the best one they've put out yet imho

It's very boring for a jazz fusion album,MOTU is their best this year
One of my favorites this year, along with
Crack Up
Scumfuck Flower Boy
Hammock - Mysterium
Various Artists - Mono No Aware
Visible Cloaks - Reassamblage
This one,Crack Up,Flying Microtonal Banana and Saturation are the best contenders for AOTY imo

pic related comes close for me, but you're right. This is the most interesting folk album I've heard in a long time, maybe ever. Where do I even go from here?
>>75172169
Can someone explain the appeal of Hippopotamus? legitimately curious what about it sticks out to you and sets it apart from other albums.
>>75172293
i do
Can someone explain the reason there's so much Peasant on /mu/? Didn't listen to the whole album, but the singles I've heard sounded like generic cheesy folk, is there something I'm missing?

good rec

taste

I just love Sparks and Hippopotamus is exactly what I want out of a Sparks album- fun, energetic, ridiculous, and these dudes are pushing into their 70s, still pumping out tunes that can rival ones from their heyday
I guess I don't really understand the question. There aren't really many other bands out there that sound like Sparks.
Priests, King Gizz x Mild High, and Paramore are my top 3 desu
Oh Sees gets an honorable mention
>>75172770
Shilling is undoubtedly a part of it, but there's a reason people have responded to it. Listen to Masseuse
Hope everyone will check out this album. It's really fucking fantastic and definitely in the running for my AOTY. If you do/already did listen to it, lemme know what you thought of it.
