Fantastic list as always. Your readers are a clever bunch. So many great albums.
some great albums. looking forward to getting into the ones i havent heard. howay the musicians!
The thing that’s the most noticeable from this list and the songs one is that Richter’s dominating this whole scene. Dunno if that means commercially too, but it’s kind of cool that a vaguely aesthetically unified label have such a solid output and that people are responding to that. Five albums in the top ten, like.
Excellent list in general, also.
Great list, delighted to see Nouveaunoise in there, a really underrated records in most end of year polls. It’s a ridiculously strong top thirty, plenty there to get my hands on over the Christmas. That whole art-thriving-in-recession idea really could be true.
Groom’s Marriage isn’t here? I knew I should have voted, my vote surely would have zapped it straight to NUMBER ONE
delighted to see halves ,not squares ,thread pulls ,the cats of cheers ,solar bears all on there ,very deserving.
some savage albums this year.
