Bon Iver - i, i
Vampire Weekend - Father of the Bride
Dinosaur Pile Up - Celebrity Mansions
Fontaines DC - Dogrel
Pixies - Beneath the Eyrie

Of Monsters and Men - Fever Dream
Foals- Part 1 and 2

Also, I'd like to amend any previous shouts for my favourite song of the year. It's an absolute dead heat between Sharon Van Etten's Seventeen and Lana Del Rey's Mariners Apartment Complex.

I'd like to offer a further amendment, having just stumbled across this one it's definitely in my top 5 songs of 2019. Antipodea, you've done it again!

Just catching up on thsi thread..surpsied theres been no mention of the Michael Kiwanuka album. Its phenomenal..mix of isaac hayes 70s soul, laurel canyon-esque folk, Hedrix/Eddie Hazell guitar...an album I've listened straight through over and over which is saying something these days.

For those of your Scottish indie, based up in Fort William, 'Paper Machine Music' album 'Glimpse' is ace..touches of Radiohead, experimental, Sonic Youth, and good earnest tunes..definitely worth a listen.. came in at no.14 in the Scottish albums of the year on Jockrock..ok maybe not that much of accolade but really is worth checking out..
