Without a doubt mines:
Cancerslug – Seasons of Sickness.
Every tune is sooooo catchy!

Oh, hang on, or is it Unkindest Cuts by CancerSlug?

its one of them anyway!

New Death Grips album is available here. Maybe even better than No Love Deep Web.

Best of the year for me is between Jon Hopkins, Kurt Vile and Death Grips.

EP is Cousin Marnie

I’m liking that Death Grips album 🙂

If you wait by London Grammar

Have also liked Chvrches, Aluna George and Haim.
Seems my tastes have gone all poppy again.

Even more doubt now, that Death Grips – Government Plates – sounds amazing!
can’t wait to hear it in full in the car tomorrow.
Cheers bawbag!

Bum, forgot oOoOO – Without Your Love and No Ceremony – No Ceremony. And Eat Lights Become Lights – Modular Living.

Dammit, I’ll never choose a fave album. And nor do I wish to. Though I’m deffo now going to have to check out a load of those listed up there^^^^

Biffy Clyro, Opposites. OK, it gets enormous black marks for being a double album that could fit onto a single CD, and some of the tracks are not that great but when it’s good, ahhhh… Scintilating and inspirational. It’s quite hard to be a Biffy fan sometimes but not this time.

(also I love the way Stingin Belle was constructed from the ground up as an efficient machine to make live audiences completely lose their shit. Not actually a great song on the record but live it is like kool aid. Bagpipes? **** it, why not.)

Chvrches for an honourable mention, and Sigur Ros.

/downloads Death Grips – Government Plates, considers a new car/stereo…

The ones I keep going back to this year:

Another vote for QOTSA – Like Clockwork

You should see the bastards live!

Eminem MM2

At least im honest!

another vote for Carcass – Surgical Steel but I also really liked:

Soulfly – Savages
In This Momment – Blood
Black Star Riders – Black Star Riders

Alabama 3 — The men From W.O.M.B.L.E

3 favourite albums
Bronx – Bronx IV
QOTSA – Like Clockwork
Arctic Monkeys – AM

Got back into new music this year, but seemed to go a bit poppy at the same time, so mine would be from:

Arctic Monkeys – AM
Disclosure – Settle
Buck 65 – Sass (all 4 minutes and 27 seconds of it)

There’s a lot I need to catch up on, so could change in the next month.

“Man and Myth” by Roy Harper.

Both bought as a result of them being Soundtracks on Trans Savoie / Trans Province highlight films

Bela Ruse – Those where the Good Times
Handsome and Gretyl – Miles and Miles

Well, it wasn’t released this year, but I bought it this year, so –

Midnight Memories – 1 direction 😀

I know some felt it could never live up to the hype – but I think I’ve listened to Random Access Memories by Daft Punk more than any other new album this year. I think it’s a stone cold classic

Also liking the new John Grant, Nick Cave, Arctic Monkeys, Parquet Courts, National , Hookworms, Mathew E White, Houndstooth and Bill Callahan

Edit – And Vampire Weekend

one breath- anna calvi
melt yourself down – melt yourself down
nobody knows -willis earl beale

I saw melt yourself down at festival no 6

Mental!

Another vote for Earth Rocker, bloody great album although not their best ever.

Thought I’d have loads to list on here but looking though my recent faves pretty much everything was 2012, turns out 2012 was a bloody good year.

Valkrija – Týr

and

You’re listening to the Hell – the Hell

are the only others that have really grabbed me, although that could change when my vinyl of the new Skeletonwitch lands as it’s supposed to be rather spiffing.

One of these three, can’t decide:

The National – Trouble Will Find Me
Thao & The Get Down Stay Down – We The Common
Bonobo – The North Borders

Jason Lytle, Department of dissaperance, purely for the Title track.
and the new Gary Newman one sounds ace too

This:

Best debut album I’ve heard, for a long time ever

+1

I like his stuff normally but it’s an album with a really good progression to it.

mintimperial – Member

Bonobo – The North Borders

Really?! I thought it was a huge letdown after the masterpiece that was Black Sands, hugely disappointing and frankly, rather dull.

Ashamed to say 2013 has been my poorest year for listening to new music.
I have the new White Denim & Boards of Canada on my christmas list.

Valerie June – Pushin’ Against a Stone

The BoC album is good, but it’s not as good as some of their earlier stuff. Try the Hopkins album ourmaninthenorth and I rated, glitchy electronica at its best

frankly, rather dull.

Oi! I didn’t have a rant about Daft Punk so you’re not allowed to slag off someone choosing Bonobo! 😆

While I’m here, must mention
Child of Lov, Run the Jewels & Paul White – March of the Ants

RE. Haim – saw ’em, live, at a couple of festivals this year and thought they were pretty good. The album has disappointed , however, and I find, has reduced good songs to over-produced fluff. IMO, of course.

Jon Hopkins – Immunity

I guess Jon Hopkins probably wins.

I found this album last week after hearing the title track on Gideon Coe’s 6Music show. Really really good.

Probably Churches for me, but there’s still a few days left for Teenage Fanclub to knock out another album…

Cheers Atlaz – will add the Hopkins album to the list.

Another vote for QotSA’s Like Clockwork, it took me a bit to get into but can’t stop listening to it now.

Also enjoying Eels’ “Wonderful Glorious” and Ginger Wildheart’s latest project “Hey! Hello!”.

Death Grips

Arcane roots

Nice one John, knew you wouldn’t let me down 😀

Also BDAW for me, also enjoying the Silhouettes album.
