what bandcamp/soundcloud artists made the best albums this year?
REMINDER: THIS IS NOT A SOUNDCLOUD/BANDCAMP THREAD
these guys kristofferson and imari on soundcloud have done some really cool stuff this year, i've been really inspired by a lot of it. idk how many people here listen though
>>60713475
this: https://barometric.bandcamp.com/
Mixing chillwave and vaporwave with a unique brand of psych bedroom pop. Definitely my favorite bandcamp release this year.

Pleasance House, IMO
>>60713983
I agree, pretty much these two albums stuck out to me this year
Faction of Deer
https://in-dreamview.bandcamp.com/
Giver takes
https://pleasancehouse.bandcamp.com/
>>60714550
I can't decide which of those I like more
Man, we got serious competition here!
>>60714699
yeah it's hard to compare them considering the stylistic differences
Best? I dunno, that's kind subjective.
Most unique/most impressive? I'd have to go with that one super minimalist/onkyo record that a /mu/tant released earlier.
Here's a link:
https://theskycallstous.bandcamp.com/album/pulse
>>60714550
>>60715356
these are great
>>60715356
okay good i thought i was the only one who heard how fucking good this was.
all of these were also top tier:
https://wasabitapes.bandcamp.com/
>experimental Japan ambient plunderphonics
https://orangemilkrecords.bandcamp.com/album/ramifications
>experimental midi internet new age other Dayton
https://beerontherug.bandcamp.com/album/complex-playground
>experimental leftfield pop smooth jazz United States
https://stevepalmer.bandcamp.com/album/fables-of-the-feral-boys
>experimental american primitive drone fahey folk Minneapolis
https://burnwardrecords.bandcamp.com/album/armageddon-pact
>experimental drone electronic harsh noise industrial noise power electronics punk Moncton

God Ran by Glovebox in my opinion
Never heard anything like it.
https://glovebox.bandcamp.com/releases
or maybe >>60715063
a local band put this out recently and jesus christ i've fallen in love.
like battles but better
https://alarmist.bandcamp.com/
>>60715356
>>60716155
>>60715893
With all the super mediocre noise/drone/ambient/experimental that shows up in Bandcamp threads, it's good to see that there's at least one person here that has a unique idea for the genre and knows what they're doing.
http://absolute-trax.bandcamp.com/
Some powerful shit here. Nailed that lo-fi psych rock sound. https://theslowhalf.bandcamp.com/album/abhend
My vote would go to my own shit but I'm not that much of an assbang, so I'll go with this one.
http://struckoutmusic.bandcamp.com/album/what-you-deserve
Most of the stuff in bandcamp threads is dog ass. Experimental indie dronewave fucking bullshit that I can't stand. Struckout eats that shit for breakfast lunch dinner and Fourthmeal(c). One of few BC thread things I downloaded immediately upon hearing and the only thing I've downloaded from a bandcamp thread that I actually paid for.
>>60716349
this is terrible though. why do you like it? I actually want to know, I'm not just shitting. Please explain your appreciation for as well as you can.
