Probably this.
Daughter - Human
thanks DezB.
Good thread. Burial released some new tunes the other day if anyone's into him
OP that track is a beauty, not heard that before. I have mine but can;'t post at work - will post up later.
Good thread btw.
[i]Good thread btw.[/i]
You ain't kidding! Now Burial too! 😀
Awesome thread folks - keep em comin!
I know I've had one already but stuff you all, no video but can't stop listening to this, dayglo wristbands and headband all the way...
Quite liked what my old pal Kate came up with:
That it?
sneaks another one in
^^
Trampled by Turtles - Midnight on the Interstate.
Discovered them this year, seeing them at Celtic Connections in January.
Well, if we're allowed more:
And this one just makes me want to break out the dodgy 80s dance moves.
Florida Georgia Line, " Get yer Shine On"
There's been lots of really good tracks this year, but this one never fails to get my toes tapping. And it got radio airplay, too!
[url= http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/18679-the-range-nonfiction/ ]The Range[/url] - Jamie
London Grammar, and Jon Hopkins, yes!
and this:
Excellent! More, and Jamie pokes his head up 😀
Grandbrothers : Ezra was Right - very infectious Synth/piano led track championed by Gilles Peterson over the previous few months.
Goldfrapp : Annabel - stunning earthy vocal delivery from alison, one of their best tracks to date (my opinion obviously)
Royksopp with Susanne Sundfør : Running to the Sea - quite a few decent remixes of this track floating about but i prefer this original.
Fat Freddy's Drop : Mother Mother - infectious monster of a tune.
S.O.H.N : The Wheel - released at the very back end of last year so shoot me for including it, utterly sublime track and in my top 10 played of this year.
Parquet Courts : Stoned & Starving - very easy to sing along to under the influence and an excellent band to see live, Vid comes from Lance's "Mellow Johnny's" bike shop in Texas....oh the ironing.........
Kronos Quartet/Kyp Malone + others : Sorrow Tears & Blood (fela kuti) - brilliant re-edit of a classic song, the boys did it justice.
Chvrches : Lies - brilliant modern synth led trio, Ian has a wealth of plinky-plonky programming talent and lauren carries off the lead with ease
Loads of others in my most played this year but as they're mostly Tech House/Tech funk or Electronic so i won't bore you shitless wi them 😉
edit : Had to include this one below
Leon Vynehall : Brother Brother
Bit of Biffy...
Sound isn't right on this recording but, well, Stingin' Belle is atomic grade quiet/loud built to make audiences completely lose their shit, so shame not to really

The lack of video is more than made up for by the song itself...
Can't post videos from you tube app. Heading to the laptop.
Everything Everything - Duet
Rudimental - Free
'ere somafunk, the idea was ONE track!
So, another one of mine
PS.
Cheap album for charidee on Bandcamp - 123 tracks for £6 goes to MacMillan. http://touched.bandcamp.com/
PPS. Jamie's choice is £4.99 on junodonwnload. Avin' that.
Ahh..... my bad, i read the title as "tracks of the year", ie : plural so more than one was allowed.
It's impossible to choose just one, my fav track of the year prob changes many times a day.
I have added the tracks in this thread ( the ones that I could find anyway) to a spotify playlist.

Record of the year for me..
Fun, Norwegian disco/pop that only came out on an Australian 7" but took off big time on edjumacated dancefloors. 🙂
[i]my fav track of the year prob changes many times a day[/i]
Mine too! Great choices btw. Just thought if everyone chose loads it would get to be too huge to bother going through them all. As it is, I for one, have listened to every single posting 🙂
Lovin' this
Keep coming back to this one. From the Album 'Resolution' which is pretty stunning IMO
John Newman sounds like a cross between Plan B and Vic Reeves pub singer to me. Don't get that at all.
DezB : Give him a chance - he's just finding his style at the moment. I'm subscribed to 100+ music blogs which necessitates spending an unhealthy amount of my time (according to my ex) listening to tunes (better than the **** soaps and tv she used to sit glued to for 4hrs a night) and he's been cropping up as a guest vocalist on some rather esoteric music scenes over the past 6 months, once he's got the awkward first album out of his system he may surprise you, Gilles Peterson (all hail the master and saviour of musical taste) seems to think he's worth watching.
I'm afraid i just don't get the noisy stuff such as cdoc's posting above (sign of reaching my 40's perhaps?), i try and find something to appreciate in every form of music but i'm at a loss with that one i'm afraid.
Loving the thread btw - keep it up peeps!.
To be fair, most metal is destroyed by pc / hifi speakers. It sounds very different/ less messy through headphones.
My second choice was 'Nightmares on Wax- So here we are'. Might be more up Soma's ally.
Also, metal has been proven to make you ride 15% faster, everywhere.
Yeah, i get what your saying regarding crap speakers as used by most pc users, what passes for some folks interpretation of "decent sound" has me smacking my head off the wall to make the bad noise go away, i'm an unashamed obsessed music snob and my mac runs a Native Instruments audio kontrol with cirrus logic 24bit/192khz A/D, D/A convertors as my external soundcard with KRK VXT6 or KRK Rokit 5's active monitors and KRK 10 sub so i guarantee i can very rapidly clear a room of any attractive girls if someone asks me about my system or musical tatstes. Also use/own a few headphones : Sennheiser HD-25's, B&W P3, Allan & Heath XD-53, Grado SR80's, KRK KNS 6400's.
Nightmares on Wax?.......now your talking 😀
He comes across as a bit of a nob, but you can't argue with the flow...
R.A. The Rugged Man - Definition Of A Rap Flow Ft. Amalie Bruun
Six toes ^ , i like that a lot, that'll do for my walk round the shoreline t'day wi the wind blowing a hoolie and the spray bouncing up the cliffs ..... found their [url= https://soundcloud.com/sixtoes ]soundcloud page here[/url]
Am i allowed to post one track/vid per page? - ohhh go on then, i'll chance my luck....In the vein of six toes above i'll post a similar folky style, Linzi is a mate who can play the fiddle and guitar better than many who have been practising for a lifetime.

Someone should totally post up Lies by CHVRCHES 😛
Since we're all ignoring the original brief, here's another:
Lies is on pg1.
My prob with metal/rock/punk is its really all been done, the grunty vocals, same ol guitar riffs, but hey I understand people like to stick to the familiar, so no problem with other people diggin it. Good to hear something different from my usual on this thread too.
I would add Kanye West's glam stomper Black Skinhead if I wasn't on the ipad. Wanna hate him, and his lyrics are sometimes really bad, but such power in some of the tracks.
Planning to post a mix on Mixcloud later, so will link to that on here.
Whole album is great but the title track is a stand-out.
How about an "Albums of the year" thread?
Go for it!
Need to think about that.. 🙂
