End of year music lists

[coollino]

A place to post your or a website/magazine end of year lists - to find new music and discuss.

Not been many so far, but apart from no.1 this seems a good list, The Knife should be higher though.

I'm not sure of mine yet because i don't keep a note of what has been around, but i'll try do one soon.

In that list the ones that I listened to are:

2. Hookworms - Pearlmistic: I only listened to this a few times and it didn't really grab me, there were a few good songs though. I might revisit it.

3. Holden - The Inheritors.

7. The Haxan Cloak - Excavation

8. Forest Swords - Engravings: Absolutely superb, my favourite electronic album of the year. There's a few Wirral references in there which I liked too.

12. Tomorrow's Harvest - Boards of Canada.

14. [Poor language removed] Buttons - Slow Focus.

22. Oneohtrix Point Never - R Plus Seven.

40. Mount Kimbie - Cold Spring Fault Less Youth. One of my favourites of the year, there's a couple of not to great tracks in there but I think it deserves to be slightly higher.

I think you'd like:

Parquet Courts and Thee Oh Sees albums are brilliant, both better versions of FIDLAR (garage-y stuff). Tropic of Cancer are a good band too.

You'll like Grouper, female singer a bit like Tim Hecker with vocals and a guitar (ambient/dreamyl)

The Knife album is just mental electronic, in my top 5 albums this year. Laural Halo is nice electronic too.

Kurt Vile, My Bloody Valentine and The Pastels are really good, but that's expected in a way.

Some great choices there mate, besides the ones already mentioned, of course.

It's going to take me a bit of time to do my top 20, I couldn't do a top 10, but Jon Hopkins, Bonobo, Synkro, Four Tet, Forest Swords, Mount Kimbie would definitely be in and around the top.

 

[bicycleheader]

Night Beds...Haim....Joey Bada$$...Foals....National...Chvrches....Deafheaven

 

[DanEFC92]

No sign of Arctic Monkeys or QOTSA, my albums of the year, in the top 50!

Ok.

 

[johnnydawg68]

I have to find some quiet time and think about this.

 

[Brennan]

No Volcano Choir makes that first list a joke.

True. It's going to be very near, or at the top of my list.

 

[Maxwell]

That Parquet Courts album is going to be very high up on a lot of lists. I like it, but i prefer the FIDLAR album even though it wasn't released this year.

 

[peteblue]

*walks in slowly, sees no mention of the Rolling Stones, backs out quietly and pops into the Oldies Thread*..........

 

[Moomin]

Must be a mistake in that list, no 1D.

 

[coollino]

Don't really look at the lists to agree and/or disagree with the orders. Just use it to look for stuff i miss. I like the majority of the albums in the list and because of that, i trust some of the ones i haven't heard may be my kind of thing.
