So far this year I like the albums from:

Young Fathers

Courtney Barnett

Father John Misty

Mountain Goats (a wrestling themed concept album, no less)

Stornoway

Bop English

Natalie Prass

Started walking into work now the weather's decent, takes about 40-45 minutes so trying to get through an album a day on spotify.

This week will hopefully be Sufjan Stevens, The Staves, Alabama Shakes, and the Leisure society.

The Mountain Goats album is quality, I've been listening to it quite a bit.

Top 10 of 2015:

  1. Twerps - Range Anxiety
  2. Sonny and the Sunsets - Talent Night at the Ashram
  3. Sleater-Kinney - No Cities To Love
  4. Dick Diver - Melbourne, Florida
  5. Colleen Green - I Want to Grow Up
  6. Peach Kelli Pop - Peach Kelli Pop III
  7. Platinum Boys - Future Hits
  8. Built to Spill - Untethered Moon
  9. The Mountain Goats - Beat the Champ
  10. Zebra Hunt - City Sighs

A full Top 10 now with recent new releases from The Mountain Goats, Peach Kelli Pop and Built to Spill. All of which are decent but not outstanding. They need more listens though.

Have to say I doubt I'll hear a better album this year than the new Sufjan Stevens record. As far removed from Age of Adz as is possible to get.

New Tallest Man on Earth is absolutely glorious. Much fuller sound but loses nothing from his lyrics. Like a young Bob Dylan singing good Belle and Sebastian.

Scuba's album's really good straight up big room techno. That and Kendrick's are probably my favourites at the moment. The samplers from the Jamie XX album suggest he's going to release an absolutely brilliant summer record. Gosh and Loud Places are really good.

The Brian Jonestown Massacre's new album came out on Monday called "Musique de Film Imaginé". It's not too bad but it's mostly instrumental, though there's a song with SoKo which is pretty decent. It's a soundtrack for an imaginary French film and pays homage to European directors from the 50s and 60s. It's as pretentious as it sounds.

I can't wait for Anton Newcombe's collab album with Tess Parks.

It's been a while since I've been in this thread so I thought it was about time I added a couple of new additions to the list. Listened to a lot of albums that didn't get in, most of them pretty good. No idea why I listened to The Prodigy as I hate them tbh and I'm not fussed at all for Young Fathers. Other artists albums I listened to were: Benjamin Clementine, Ludacris, Wale, Tyler the Creator, Yelawolf & Zac Brown Band.
