I'm inclined to go with Chromatics - Kill for Love. My one reservation being that it borrows so heavily from the past. Then again, that seems to be a dominant quality of our current music.

Definitely a contender for me too. It's not a record I can listen to casually, on an everyday basis. I either have to set aside two hours at home or listen to it while walking through the wilderness, preferably near sea cliffs.

That Portable album completely passed my attention - I only recgonised the name in passing from various remixes, total dilletante - but it stood out as an unusual choice on this thread and a listen tells me it's actually pretty brilliant. Not sure if I'd rate it as an album of the 10s yet but I'm expecting it to open out further and further on repeated listens.
― boxedjoy, Tuesday, 29 May 2012 22:16 (eleven years ago) link
okay listening to the synthetic mewling sounds that close "Architect of Love" I am def thinking that Anika takes the silver and this is the best album of the decade so far:

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.
