wanna take this opportunity to rep for the Sarah Louise album linked above, it's not on Spotify but u can stream it all on Bandcamp and it is one of my favorite solo guitar records of the year, and exceptionally strong and distinctive and fully formed for what I think is a debut
it is a lovely one indeed

Also, Aphex Twin's "Houston, TX 12.17.16" is still included in the albums list, even though it was determined in the nomination thread that it's a 12-inch single.

i nominated one of the tracks from this for the tracks poll, but by the tracks individual name
I didn't want the other track to be nominated only this one.

So y'all pick one and go with it.I vote the former, i.e. just Aurora - but is it not possible to edit the list now?

Yeah, I was putting my album list together from the final list and just assumed it had been nominated. Two of the KING related songs were picked (one of them by me!) but the album was sadly overlooked. I would have definitely given it some votes. It's a lovely record.

Unless I missed it, I didn't see any mention of the brilliant album by Cellars anywhere. The lead single, Nighttime Girl could well be my favourite song of the year. It's pure earworm and the harmonies on the wordless chorus are everything I love about pop music. https://youtu.be/yPCCioS75jY

oranssi pazuzu - vasemman käden hierarkia. the most kickass 17 minutes of music that one of music's most kickass years had to offer. LIYL psych, metal, doom, prog, space, being overwhelmed, terrifying vocal harmonies, riffs, drones, ambition, execution, consummation in fire

Bombino - TimtarA new discovery for the year. Psychedelic Tuareg goodness. Not dissimilar from Tinariwen, but with a fat, almost reggae-ish lope. Absolutely fantastic

Double Britney too ('Slumber Party' twice) which means I was wrong upthread and she only has a mere 5 tracks (yet somehow none of them are 'Clumsy' or 'Hard To Forget Ya' dam, best from her since 'Blackout' for sure)

Any of the four Kero Kero Bonito tracks nominated is worthy of your vote, but this paean to doing squat, with perfect accompanying video is my favourite.

You can also subtract one track from Rihanna's total of ten, since "Nothing Is Promised" has also been nominated as the Mike Will Made-It track it actually is.

I guess I could rep on the album I think no one else but me will vote, here's the title track:
Zalys - Fragments of Life
Zalys has made several albums of this kind of deep, droney space ambient, and her new one is not that different from the previous outout, maybe a bit darker... But if you like these kind of beatless, glacial & melody-free cosmic moodz, her music should certainly hit the sweet spot, so it's all good.

Gate's 'Saturday Night Fever' (from The Dead C's Michael Morley) deserves way more love than it is getting. A twisted, fractured, mutant take on the disco classic, all chopped up to pieces. Listen to Hijack, which sounds like Third Eye Foundation with Ian Curtis on vocals and William Basinski behind the wheel.
― Le Bateau Ivre, Thursday, 5 January 2017 01:28 (seven years ago) link
