AOTYSF Thread.
Post your favourite album/albums of the year so far.
Talk about said albums. (Or just call each other's opinions shit, your choice) :^)
Maybe even discover a new album or two.
Starting off with an
>obligatory
seconding Blackstar
Ancient proverb: then someone picks TGM over Autechre it's the telltale sign of a newfag
Thirding Blackstar, but the new Swans might beat it. I only got it yesterday, so I've not decided for definite yet.
>>65756470
I still haven't listened to the new Autechre yet. Been kinda intimidated by its length (especially since I've had a very bad history with any release exceeding 3 hours)
Would you still recommend?
>>65756470
What's top-right? Haven't seen it before.
>>65756542
Mark Pritchard - Under The Sun
Looking foward to:
>Metronomy Summer '08
>The Avalanches - Wildflower
>Factory Floor - 25 25
>>65756470
Why should we ignore tripfags, the post.
>>65756517
Of course.
>>65756635
Newfag.
RIP Gord
>>65756626
Looking at this makes me realise how much I've missed from 2016. I was much more on top of things last year damnit...
>>65756741
Could I get names on the top-left and middle-left please?
>>65756517
Yeah, it includes some of their best work since Draft by my reckoning and I say that as a huge fan of Oversteps. You also don't have to listen to it in one sitting.
>>65756414
Fourth for Blackstar, followed by Sleep Cycle then A Moon Shaped Pool.
I was fairly disappointed by The Glowing Man apart from the title track, and I've loved everything Swans have done since they reformed.
I got almost no enjoyment from Bottomless Pit aside from Ring a Bell.
The biggest disappointment for me though was the new LSD and the Search for God, it took nine years for five songs that sound like the songs off the old EP. It's okay, but that's all it is.
>>65756517
Just listen to an album a day for 5 days.
>>65756470
Lol
>James Blake
that shit is literally the reason to never let Rick Rubin near your album
>>65757080
Unless you're Johnny Cash. Genuinely the only Rubin produced albums that are listenable.
>blackstar
>a moon shaped pool
>glowing man
In that order
But all are 10/10 extra spicys to me
>>65756529
This
This has been the only album that resonated with me.
Oh that ty segall album was good.
Really dissapointed in the new pantha
>>65756883
I was the same until about a month ago
>>65756470
new james blake is boring senpai

Deakin - Sleep Cycle
Deep Sea Diver - Secrets
DIIV - Is The Is Are
Fruit Bats - Absolute Loser
Haelos - Full Circle

>>65757514
Very underrated on here. One of the best he's ever done.
>>65757634
My only complaint is Vulture. It's so fucking shit.
>>65757502
Agreed. Don’t think this album gets near enough love
>>65757430
The album isn't even ironic bro.
>>65756482
Honestly, as a massive fan of Swans, it's hard for me to tell. But I think that, with the what Bowie did to the concept of that album, in his death, would crown it AOTY regardless of anything. If it wasn't for his death and how it intentionally affected the music, I would go with The Glowing Man, as well.
I still haven't listened to the new clipping yet, but this year has been pretty good so far.
>>65756626
I loved the beast of platinum tears but I just can't stand his helium rapping. BBF was alright though.
>>65758218
Same here. The whole concept and meaning behind Blackstar is one of the most incredibly profound artistic statements I've ever seen
Hooded Fang - Venus on Edge
Band has gone in a bit of a different direction. Noisy....noise.
Shaping up to be one of my favorites.
1.Death Grips - Bottomless Pit

2. Vessels - Dilate
3. Hammock - Everything and Nothing
4. Julianna Barwick - Will

Have you had a listen to Colours? It was released like two days ago, and is very different from Frankie Sinatra.
Previews of all the songs were available not long ago for a short while before being taken down and from what people heard it's apparently very good, and they're all very different from Frankie Sinatra.

4. DIIV - Is The Is Are
5. Tim Hecker - Love Streams

>>65760790
Look at you, a faggot who just doesn't get the concept of making art in the face of death. If anything, that alone makes that album more praiseworthy than any other album of this past decade.
>>65756470
