I'm really liking it so far
The Gamble by Nonkeen
pls no bully
>>64132508
Is it worth checking out?
Badlands is super neat. I think it might be one of my favorite Jeremiah Cymerman releases.
if you don't pick this, where you been?
>>64133901
don't fuck with me - this hasn't leaked, right?
this tbf
>>64133491
stop pretending this is good, man
it's a typical thug tape sans the length
>>64133491

>>64133901
That is an excellent album! I honestly thought it was going to be shit and then got my pants knocked off by King Gizzard's creativity.
>>64133408
Any Tindersticks release is a guaranteed low-key AOTY. Such an underrated band.
>>64134021
it's got no filler
second only to Barter 6 if you value consistency
>>64131694
Deakin - Sleep Cycle
>>64134126
same
>>64134085
They're my favorite band so I always feel like I'm too biased towards them. The Waiting Room is really nice though. I was a bit worried that after Across Six Leap Years they were going to get a bit regressive but I'm super glad they've continued with The Something Rain's soul sound. I'm a sucker for soul-styled Tindersticks.
I still need to check out their Paris live album they also released this year.
>>64134005
amazing bass playing on that thing. jesus the fretless bass solo on the first track is awe inspiring
This, sadly. Shit year all 'round.
I mean either this or Ulver's ATGCLVLSSCAP
>>64134125
No filler, but nothing memorable or breath-taking either.
may be even better than their s/t
Blackstar is a close #2
>>64131694

Some of my favs
>>64134910
Pretty good. That Ulver album is great too.
Pic related is another great one.
I may be a flaming homo but I've listened to this more than anything else in a long time and I still love it.
>>64141058
this is pretty good
>>64133065
It is. The new lineup sounds amazing in action.
>>64131694
Blackstar or pic related
>>64141553 H6DP was great, and will probs make my top five, but not quite AOTY material. The Drones did political so much better.
>>64142470
I agree. That album is stellar. Probably my second favorite of the year behind blackstar
Not necessarily my absolute favorite, but Post Pop Depression by Iggy Pop is great.
Blackstar, Weezer's White Album, and untitled unmastered are top ones too for me.
Unless they fuck it up, RHCP's new album will probably make the list for me.
>>64133056
>>64134910
>>64141058
>>64141115
these, untitled. unmastered., and Ology
To be rather candid, familiar
>>64133056
yeah actually same here
>>64141667
whatever man, to each their own. I respect your opinion, though I disagree
Yes, seriously.
but lil ugly mane tho
>>64142757
leak it Andy
>>64143263
actually kill me this was 2015.
>>64143224
that's ok. i feel like the 1975 is something of a litmus test. the band is very much about matty, his personality, charisma, and sex. so it would kind of repel a straight male even if they were otherwise neutral about the music. on the other hand, a gay like me, or a 12yr old girl, would be really drawn to them even if i was otherwise neutral about the music.
it just so happens i really enjoy the music and i also hopelessly want matty's tongue and dick, so i'm a pretty hopeless case on this one
>>64141667
Love Me is such a good track on that album, too bad the rest of it's shit.
>>64143444
Yeah, I kind of enjoy their music, it's pretty damn catchy. But that actually makes total sense.
>>64131694
>>64133056

>>64141667
This is my favorite too –coming from a 21yo straight male.
Blackstar & TLOP are tied with it as my top 3, but if I had to pick it'd be the 1975.
Those boys know how to make every layer of each track great...vocal melody, programmed (or not) beats, the guitar and bass bits, that damn synth. Love every aspect of it.
>>64144941
My favourite is Private Execution. I get chills whenever I hear 'Now I'm smoking in a blindfold/In an Indonesian courtyard'
>>64144941
certainly one of the more interesting subject matters I've ever heard a song address

So are the 1975 the CRJ equivalent of 2016?

starting now
kinda suck so far
when does it get good?
>>64134910
>Reading Drowned in Sound
>>64144279
the album is pretty good, but Sunday is one of my fav tracks this year for sure
>>64144067
gr8 choice
>>64152155
Not really, CRJ was just pop hits, a la 1989 and Grimes' Art Angels (two of my favorite albums of their years). Although I guess if CRJ had "Call Me Maybe" these guys had "Chocolate"?
The 1975 is a full band (ergo, they have fuller songs) – their core is definitely pop, but they weave in electronics to supplement and touch on a few other genres/styles throughout their albums.
They've said that they began when the frontman and drummer would make electronic music and beat-making in college, and then wanted to make pop songs that could fit in that dance-y electronic grid, or something along those lines. All in all, would deffo recommend
>>64133901
this will be really popular whether its good or bad just because of the album cover
>>64134126
This and new Xiu Xiu
>>64133901

I've hardly listened to any new stuff this year compared to last. Feeling pretty out of touch with music right now. Can anyone suggest new stuff?

in a new way
I've still just heard it once both from the beginning of course but considering there's a vinyl edition I think its possible that there's some different intended combinations.
>>64142979
I liked this too. It was like watching a soap opera, or a campy horror movie
>>64133901
you realise this only leaked in 128kbps right? sounds muddy / distorted as fuck hold out until 320 everybody
>>64141425
That was last year, my dude. Great album though.
Noone else?
>>64134126
is the melon reviewing that or nay?
>>64156289
choruses are fucking solid but the verses are monotone as fuck. what they think is hardcore I think is mundane.
Kiran Leonard - Grapefruit
>>64142470
>>64144941
Drones is my first choice.
Pic related is my second choice.
>>64156378
cross record is tempting but as i recall its spotty as hell. You dont think it has any weak tracks? The standout tracks are fucking sick though dont get me wrong. It fucking kills me to keep this off my list but everytime I go through it I hit major speed bumps.
>>64134126
wait, the deak finally leaked???
>>64156422
wtf almost 2 weeks ago. Official release was April 8
>>64156411
No weak tracks here in my opinion.
This album is good shit from beginning to end, some songs had to grow on me yeah, but currently I think this album is amazing and I'm really weirded out that /mu/ isn't talking too much about it, or even getting any attention on critics.
Listen to it one more time to get it fresh on your memory, I really think it's an AOTY contender.
>>64156463
i've been away m8, if i haven't heard it yet it's news to me
>>64156470
personally it took me about 2 weeks just to get the names straight. When I was doing my anticipated albums of the month list I kept calling it wabi sabi - cross record
I'll go through it again asap unfortunately I cant right now.
>>64156507
its fucking awesome although the backlash is getting revved up from the p4k review last night
>>64156532
Nice. I've been listening to it since January. Definitely worth it.
>>64137144
yup, one of the few cool bands of my country
>>64156549
yeah I got it the day it came out and had the whole record store looking for the new album by wabi sabi

Along with Blackstar and TLOP, this is tied for my AOTYSF
>>64159502

>>64143871
This, Teen Suicide and Sleep Cycle are all frontrunners for me
If I say Imperial is A1? Obviously it's too early. Obviously I don't listen enough. Hate to play into that meme shit, but he got me on this one.
>>64160317
next time i'll be sure to warn everyone before i voice my opinion.

AOTYSF for sure

haven't been crazy about anything yet this year though, eagerly waiting The Glowing Man.
