It's halfway through 2015. Time for a list, even though I haven't posted music in a very long time. I guess anybody reading this blog will probably know what I've been listening to, anyway. But I should probably make one, for myself, I guess.
This is in order, as best as I can. I narrowed it down to 25 albums and a few singles I've really enjoyed.
ALBUMS:
25) Shlohmo - Dark Red
24) Pile - You're Better Than This
23) Mamaleek - Via Dolorosa
22) Earl Sweatshirt - I Don't Like Shit, I Don't Go Outside
21) Mount Eerie - Sauna
20) ZS - Xe
19) Billy Woods - Today, I Wrote Nothing
18) Unknown Mortal Orchestra - Multi-Love
17) Elvis Depressedly - New Alhambra
16) Colin Stetson and Sarah Neufeld - Never Were the Way She Was
15) Liturgy - The Ark Work
14) Prurient - Frozen Niagara Falls
13) Hop Along - Painted Shut
12) Young Fathers - White Men Are Black Men Too
11) Sun Kil Moon - Universal Themes
10) Kamasi Washington - The Epic
9) Desaparecidos - Payola
8) Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Asunder, Sweet and Other Distress
7) High on Fire - Luminiferous
6) Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp a Butterfly
5) Sufjan Stevens - Carrie and Lowell
4) Jeff Rosenstock - We Cool?
3) Clarence Clarity - No Now
2) Death Grips - The Powers That B
1) Father John Misty - I Love You, Honeybear
Honorable Mentions:
Tyler, the Creator - Cherry Bomb (sorta - there are some good singles)
Ash Koosha - GUUD
Cloud Nothings x Wavves - No Life for Me
SINGLES:
Shiftee - Drop Top (feat. Cakes da Killa). My vote for banger of the year, I mean, holy shit.
Clarence Clarity - Alive in the Septic Tank... or The Gospel Truth, or Will to Believe, or Those Who Can't, Cheat, or any song off of the album.
Wavves x Cloud Nothings - No Life for Me. Great lo-fi indie rock.
and Liturgy - Quetzalcoatl. I hated this track until listening to it in context, where it's really genius. Also, the video's really great.
