One extra year on top of 40, 198 new albums heard:
- Album of the year is probably Night Shop's The Fountain - every song so full of longing and resignation and pitched right at this moment
- So much ambient, most of it necessarily unspectacular. 7.5 hours of Moby especially so
- Darkside's Random Access Memories Memories is the kind of adventurousness every remix project should aspire to
- New albums from Squid, Spirit of the Beehive, Idles, and The Avalanches were all varying degrees of disappointing, but had a lot to live up to.
Most represented:
- 4 Jeff the Brotherhood albums, all are pretty good!
- 4 Kelley Stoltz albums, all are pretty ok!
- 5 Je Suis France albums, still super underrated!
- 6 King Gizzard albums as usual!
The whole year didn't have much that really blew me away, but that might be the year talking!
See you next one! Maybe!
