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)

I'm amazed this album didn't get nommmed, thought it was an ilm favourite and assumed it was a lock.

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.

seandalai has temporarily extended the nominations period to accomodate slackers, but the grace period ends at midnight UK time. Do that here.
Tomorrow, I'll harangue a mod to update the info in the top of this thread with correct links to finalized master lists for albums and tracks.

Back to campaigning.
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

Yeah, it was Corinne Bailey Rae. KING worked on four of the songs on the album. It's a lovely record that has now been nominated.

Biggest discoveries from the nominated albums list for me so far.
Japanese Breakfast - Psychopomp (this is everything I want from indie music in 2017)Bartosz Kruczynski - Baltic Beat (the title track is one of the most beautiful songs I've heard in a long time)Noname - Telefone (not sure why it took me so long to give this a listen. Amazing production and she has so much personality) Ngaiire - Blastoma (every year I discover something great that Monotony has recommended. It's a been a good year for mellow R&B)Mitski - Puberty 2 (this didn't blow me away when I heard it earlier in the year, but hearing all the excellent songs on the playlist made me reconsider. Love it now)
I won't list the songs as I've been through the playlist and found around 80 songs that I'd never heard before that could all make my final tracks list. I always forget what hard work this is.
― Kitchen Person, Thursday, 5 January 2017 19:04 (seven years ago) link
I have to rep for Mogwai - Atomic. Their last few albums have been lackluster IMO, but this one is amazing. It runs the gamut from old school post-rock to dark synth prog. Very much worth a vote!
Another album I gotta stan for is Comet Control - Center of the Maze... It's kind of hard to describe. I'd say that it's upbeat psych-pop pretending to be heavy metal. The last track of the album, Artificial Light is especially good and was nominated.
As far as pop music goes, most of the stuff I liked this year is already well known to ILM ppl (Angel Olsen, Mitski, Tegan & Sara), but I never see Amason talked about much and they released one of my favorite tracks of the year, Airport. It has great female-fronted vocals and is extremely catchy. I've listened to it probably almost 100 times this year and it still hasn't gotten old.
Another cool track that I think is a bit obscure is Black Marble - Iron Lung. Really solid indie pop that has a New Order vibe. Another track I should mention is The Ravonettes - Where Are You Wild Horses. They did this thing where they released a new track every month in 2016, and that one is easily the best of them. I really like it.
I'll let imago evangelize for Mesarthim but they are also great: they're very much metal that people who aren't into metal will like.
OK that's my big campaigning post. I might mention more stuff later, but I really wanted to makes sure the above mentioned got some attention.

I would encourage people to listen to Tkay Maidza's album Tkay and particular "Simulation", which is the biggest and most joyous of her singles yet. She placed previously at #38 in the 2014 tracks poll and it would be wonderful to see her in the chart once again!

I don't know if it's been heavily discussed elsewhere on ILX where I'm missing it but I didn't hear the Battle Trance album Blade of Love until the end of November and it is likely in my top 15 albumshttps://battletrance.bandcamp.com/album/blade-of-love
Outside of everything i like that everybody likes, i would strongly urge an open minded listen to the Wang Li (Jaw harp)/Wu Wei (Sheng) album Overtones “Les harmoniques du ciel” which was certainly one of the best live shows I saw in 2016https://open.spotify.com/album/7kyhXgMlqL9J7nOWFWgoCu
I also very much dig Kaoru Watanabe's album of wooden flute and taiko... jazz? "new music"? "classical"? "world", if you were being particularly lazy (dude is from St. Louis)? I think it's just great and occasionally piercing; try "Iki" and "Bloodlines"https://open.spotify.com/album/5GwdCguatKaHlkVPXa2IYx
