When I try to pick only 10 I end up with 26 so instead here are six that I could never not include:
Matana Roberts - Coin Coin Chapter One: Gens De Couleur LibresHiss Golden Messenger - Bad DebtYellow Swans - Going PlacesRivulets - I Remember EverythingGlaciation - Sur les falaises de marbreMatthew Mulane - Hut Variations
(high five to Chinaski for having two of these on his list)
(just saw that I forgot Bill Callahan's Apocalypse so make that 27, ugh)
― Dinsdale, Thursday, 2 November 2017 22:15 (six years ago) link
Love the Bill Callahan love, but I'd say 'Dream River' is a notch better and I definitely play it more than 'Apocalypse' IMHO

Probably no big surprise here, but King Krule's 2013 album 6 Feet Beneath the Moon is easily my pick for the decade thus far.

Just absolutely crazy how fragmented music is now. Almost no list has any album in common with any other list.

xp Scik Mouthy:
Loved Dysnomia too, from the first time I heard it on a Radiolab podcast, and it lead me to search out other minimal jazz. If you like Dawn of Midi, do check out the Zurich scene on the Tonus-Music label (and associated Orbital Garden club): Nik Bärtsch (both Ronin and Mobile), Don Li, Ania Losinger, Mike Keusen, Sha's Banryu, Zimoun. Mid-period Necks (from Aquatic to Mosquito/See Through) is probably a given.

[1]Giorgio Tuma - this life denied me your loveGiorgio tuma - in the morning we’ll meet
Had never heard of this before, but it's good! Chamber pop. The Laetitia Sadier track is lush, too.[/1]
laetitia listed 'in the morning we'll meet' as one of her five life changing albums, probably because 'this life has denied me your love' hadn't come out yet. he's wonderful.

in my opinion 2017 was a shit year for music and then i gave up looking for new music after that. interesting seeing decades-end lists with the most recent 25% being stuff i've barely heard of.

I'd maybe go for something leftfield like The Lowland Hundred's Under Cambrian Sky, which is a bit like the Blue Nile on tour in the Welsh desert but not really like anything else at all.
