OPO: Album of the 2010s

gotta say its fun to read these lists and then try to guess the poster

lovely chevron xp

can someone explain or link to something that explains the appeal of last train to paris

diddy just seems idk not good to me. i never liked him even if he helped some good artists break out

same

it's a vibe

not a particularly interesting one?

I can get behind that list, Le Bateau Ivre (fellow Frenchman, right?)

Mais non! But good you like the list, too :)

Owen Pallett - In Conflict
Polar Bear - Same As You
Four Tet - There Is Love In You
Father John Misty - I Love You, Honeybear
Grimes - Art Angels
Destroyer - Kaputt
Wild Beasts - Smother
Spoon - Transference
Dawn Of Midi - Dysnomia
David Bowie - Blackstar

It would doubtless be a different POX tomorrow.

Something like this:

The Knife - Tomorrow, In a Year
Scott Walker - Bish Bosch
of Montreal - False Priest
Destroyer - Kaputt
Kanye West - Yeezus
These New Puritans - Field of Reeds
Autechre - Exai
M.I.A - Matangi
Lana Del Rey - Ultraviolence
The Knife - Shaking the Habitual

pretty good decade

This Dirty Money shit, it ain't for everybody, man. It's a motherfuckin' vibe, it's for motherfuckers that's patient, motherfuckers that like to take their time, and close their eyes, and dream.

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.

Paul Buchanan – Mid Air
Owen Pallett – Heartland
Lewis – L’Amour
Jute Gyte – Perdurance
Kendrick Lamar – To Kill A Butterfly
The Caretaker – An Empty Bliss Beyond This World
Emeralds – Does It Look Like I’m Here?
Young Thug – Barter 6
Chromatics – Kill For Love
The White Birch – The Weight of Spring
Bill Callahan - Apocalypse
Yasmine Hamdan – Ya Nass
Max Richter – Sleep
Lykke Li – I Never Learn

― Le Bateau Ivre,

Love this one!

[1]Giorgio Tuma - this life denied me your love
Giorgio 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.

whoops, out of practice, it has been a while.

Ty Moka, good to find you on my side <3

opo: joanna newsom - divers

i think i'm good w/that

It might be the wine talking but co-sign on Divers.

marcos need to get on DDM train for full ilx initiation

High five, Dinsdale! (Going to check out the other stuff on your list. Mullane is ace.)

Another vote for Dysnomia, here.

if I'm being real the 2010s album I've listened to most is Jeff Rosenstock's Worry

Destroyer - Kaputt
Burial - Rival Dealer
Sufjan Stevens - The Age of Adz
Rustie - Glass Swords
Especia - GUSTO
Susanne Sundfor - Ten Love Songs
Vampire Weekend - Contra
Owen Pallett - Heartland
Carly Rae Jepsen - Emotion
Solange - A Seat at the Table

something like this? Kaputt is #1 all time

something like

#1• Fiona Apple - The Idler Wheel... - 2012
Susanne Sundfør - Ten Love Songs - 2015
Julia Holter - Ekstasis - 2012
Janelle Monae - The ArchAndroid - 2010
My Bloody Valentine - m b v - 2013
Colin Stetson - New History Warfare Vol. 2: Judges - 2011
Ghost - Opus Eponymous - 2011
Courtney Barnett - Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit - 2015
Mock & Toof - Tuning Echoes - 2010

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.

to round it out, let's say FFS - FFS - 2015

Song: 212

Album: My cd of the first two Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever EPs
Talk Tight/The French Press

All Bitches Die, maybe.

last train to paris
mid air
kaputt
marcberg
science fiction
the monitor
modern vampires
emotion
i like it when you sleep

10 I listened to a lot this decade by artists not already mentioned

Beyond The Wizard's Sleeve - The Soft Bounce
Caribou - Swim
Charli XCX - True Romance
GusGus - Arabian Horse
Kindness - Otherness
Martyn - Ghost People
Mr. Twin Sister - Mr. Twin Sister
Neon Indian - Vega Intl. Night School
Tennis - Ritual In Repeat
US Girls - Half Free

i think i'd go with m b v, boring as i am.

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.

That, or Garten der Unbewusstheit by Corrupted.
