right now my (predictable) answer is To Pimp A Butterfly
― its subtle brume (DJP), Tuesday, 2 February 2016 15:09 (eight years ago) link
I'll go with Echolyn's 2012 self-titled album. Seems like something I could listen to endlessly.
― frogbs, Tuesday, 2 February 2016 16:30 (eight years ago) link
I dunno can't really pick one out of those. Right now I'd pick Fka Twigs.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Tuesday, 2 February 2016 17:21 (eight years ago) link
EMA's Past Life Martyred Saints still holding on firmly to this title for me.

Lovely soothing synth drones, Meg Bowles is a genius who remains to be uncovered by a larger audience because she's in the (admittedly self-chosen) "new age" category. But seriously, if this (or some of her previous albums) had been released by a "cool" ambient label, they would be lauded as masterpieces.

the eventual championing of OPO over POO makes me very sad
― its subtle brume (DJP), Tuesday, 2 February 2016 19:24 (eight years ago) link
Granda by Monika Brodka. She won the Polish version of Pop Idol in 2004 and released two reasonably good albums before disappearing for four years and coming back with a masterpiece. That was six years ago so the next one should be even better if it ever arrives.

ah fuck, I'd swap out something for Bowie's Blackstar.

each subsequent answer overwrites the previous one, this is the only possible interpretation

what these culture vultures aren't taking into account is that people might check out, say, the Tuomas and ShariVari recommendations, enshrined in their isolation

totally forgot about this ... i really like the production on it, though i'm a sucker for literal industrial noises. Total subtle homage to Robert Rental and Frieder Butzman if you listen properly

the esplendor geometrico and plan b hommages of 'ilm años' help to intersect notions of class and gender within interstitial social spaces more acutely than anything since 'the flowers of indie' by filth riemann

I don't know if it's my favorite, but the Mountain Goats Transcendental Youth is on the short list. That is a ridiculously underrated record.
― kornrulez6969, Tuesday, 2 February 2016 23:35 (eight years ago) link
yeah that one's certainly become my favorite mountain goats record over time

Only been listening to this record for two weeks or so, but so far it does more for me than any other favorites from this decade.
Wolf Alice - My Love Is Cool
It would be a great disgrace to the glorious bounty of this, possibly the best half-decade of music, to not detail at length the many notable and worthy runners-up, including of course...imago? What a surprise to see you here! What are you doing with that Dyson, imago? No. No! Please god no! Arrrg. Moan. Gurgle. I regret that I could only...pick...one. *dies*
― how's life, Wednesday, 3 February 2016 12:33 (eight years ago) link
My list would be a bit like:
Matana Roberts, Coin Coin Chapter OneCorrupted, Garten der Unbewusstheit The Lowland Hundred, Under Cambrian SkyHallock Hill, A Hem of EveningBlues Control & Laraaji, Frkwys, Vol.8Wooden Wand, Blood Oaths of the New BluesMark Kozelek & Jimmy LaValle - Perils of the Sea
