Die Antwoord – I really liked their first few albums, but they’ve gone completely shit.

Liked their early stuff did you?

Hipster!

😆

Really good year, I reckon. I liked Beyonce’s album too 🙂
Trentemoller’s was probably biggest disappointment, cos it was just a New Order/Cure covers album.

Oh, and has anyone been listening to Goat?

Yeah, that was good. Great live too.

That Danny brown album is excellent.

Forgot one!
Nevermen – Nevermen

Was released in January – Mike Patton (you know him), Adam Drucker (Dose One) and Babatunde Adebimpe (TV on the Radio)

This wasn’t on the official album, but is superb (and free, I think)

Nevermen good too.
Has famous man in the group.
Cannot be hipster.

You’d have to have a stick up your arse not to find at least some of this funny.

Or is it just me?

Needless to say, some rudeness.

Funny yeah. They are a bit of a novelty act, maybe that’s the problem.

Total novelty, it just never wore off for me, still love them.

No you don’t. Not really.

As an aside, one of my first exposure to Die Antwoord was at one of Adam Buxton’s Bug shows at the BFI.

Moderately amusing.

And you can take that to the bank, you muffin factory!

That is the best 7 minutes of YouTube in history.

Sorry OP, derailed your thread a bit here, err…

Beyonce – Lemonade

(Seriously, it’s really good)

I’ve never really clicked with any records this year, I’m starting to think it’s my streaming habits, I’ll listen to something, love it for a weekend then move on, then about 2 weeks later have forgotten all about it, when you had a CD sitting around you’d at least chuck it back in and let it grow on you.

Just been going through the OP’s list, maybe I’ll leave Cult of Luna for a few days, loving this Ital record though, wasn’t on Spotify when I read the review when it came out, that Mmoths record went the way of the above, I’ll go back in for a listen to that.

Saw Suuns a few times live this year, great band

If i had to pick one I’d go for the last Tribe record, really liking that.

I’m going to third A Moon Shaped Pool. Really very good.

A very definite late winner. The Frightnrs.

How jolly

I completely forgot about Lisa Hannigan.

Now, her being part of the Damien Rice band (or whatever) had completely passed me by and I heard this track playing in HMV and ‘just had to ask’ who/what it was…

I went home and googled it, saw DR and thought….. shit.

Later on I was back in HMV and looking for something to new to buy, remembered I’d quite liked that track and (forgetting about DR) bought it. Hey, I like it… 😆

I’m also quite liking the Agnes Obel Citizen of Glass cd…

I do like the Antonio Sanchez album, as well as the Meridan Suite, also by him and I was surprised to find myself like the Beyoncé album .Some of the stuff coming out by Rag,n bone man , ” human ” and ” wolves ” are both pretty cool , haven’t heard of most of the rest

Leonard Cohen – You Want It Darker
Georgia Ruth – Fossil Scale
9bach – Anian
Agnes Obel – Citizen Of Glass
Bob Mould – Patch The Sky
Pixies – Head Carrier
Colvin & Earle
David Bowie – ?
Kate Bush – Before The Dawn

No one has suggested the new Goatwhore record yet, strange me thinks.

Whitney ‘Light Upon The Lake’ 😀

I am really liking that Causa Sui – good call Malvern Rider.

Mine would be Anchorsong-Ceremonial. I have a big list but for once I have managed to whittle it down to one….it has had the most plays anyway.

[video]https://youtu.be/k-LhW50cwio[/video]

+1 for Leonard C – You want it darker.

Trembling Bells – Wide Majestic Aire

She cried when they pulled out of Bangface

Good name for a band.

Anyway schrickvr6, I seem to have killed a v good thread. Just wanted to say that Junior Boys album’s a great recommendation.

Fliptrix – Patterns Of Escapism

This is the title track
[video]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYiOVV_OPtU[/video]

Stiff by White Denim

Architects – all our gods have abandoned us
Protest the hero – Pacific Myth

Although I might be in a minority on here (no I’m not being obscure for the sake of it :wink:)

Another shout out for Agnes Obel.
She’s just frickin great.

Blackstar
Moon Shaped Pool
This is your Life (Augustines)

My 3 faves of the year.
MSP is a stunning album, I’m not a particular Radiohead fanboi, but I loved it on first spin and it genuinely gets better every time.

Lazarus and Blackstar are 2 incredible moments on what IMO is standing up as one of Bowies best ever albums. A staggering acheivement for a 68 year old.

Late entry: Margaret Glaspy Emotions & Math. Only heard it a week ago, been playing pretty much non-stop since…
