Rolling Favorite Tracks + Albums 2018

▓▒░ 𝟚𝟘𝟙𝟠 ░▒▓

Superorganism - Everybody wants to be famous

That's the only single that has been released around my radar in the past two days.

And yes! I've started a playlist this year too for you all to laugh about my taste: https://open.spotify.com/user/moteldemoka/playlist/4G8vQwgf0H6hDomIeFT3C4

New Tuneyards song “heartattack” is good. One of my favorite ones I’ve heard from them. Also Karen O and Michael Kiwanuka collab for Kenzo is good.

Also new US Girls single. And an Alan Vega cover by soft moon of juxebox babe, not as great as the original but still I have a soft spot for covers of songs I love.

https://xuiqen.bandcamp.com/album/moir

really hitting the spot.. recalls autechre, the good stuff, et al

I've also started on my 2018 playlist, tho I reserve the right to remove things

https://open.spotify.com/user/suckerblues/playlist/44RtVWY3oEVTu9Jz6Xyogc

Can we possibly separate tracks and albums this year? I like to trawl through the thread and it makes it difficult to do.

https://xuiqen.bandcamp.com/album/moir

this is an album

Can a mod edit title so it says tracks/songs and remove albums?

Belle Adair's "The Absentee," from Tuscumbia, out on Single Lock this month. Kinda Bert Sommer-y Big Star.

https://xuiqen.bandcamp.com/track/alfred-hitchcocks-the-39-steps

"Alfred Hitchcock's The 39 Steps" from the album moiré, but xuiqen

Here's my Spotify link if you care: https://open.spotify.com/user/1153731601/playlist/4OUN4DPAXPu5Uo8mFpuc4M
Not everything is from 2018, just stuff I discover in 2018

So... was there a separate albums thread or are we mixing it up?

https://xuiqen.bandcamp.com/track/rchm-d

into "rchmöd" now.. these guys are so many things i love about autechre

I'm not sold on the album as a whole but 'One Rizia' by Shame is a keeper:

https://shamebanduk.bandcamp.com/track/one-rizla

Mods ignored my title change request so... albums and tracks in this thread it seems :/

Here's my top songs from January 2018 so far:

The Green Child - Her Majesty II
Gundelach - Games (Prins Thomas Diskomiks)
Gwenno - Tir Ha Mor
Jonathan Wilson - Over the Midnight (Edit)
Khruangbin - Friday Morning
Helena Deland - There Are a Thousand
Migos - Stir Fry
Negative Gemini - Infin Path
The Shacks - Follow Me
U.S. Girls - Pearly Gates
Young Galaxy - Under My Wing

Gundelach and Migos are actually late December 17.

One thread for albums and tracks is more than enough. I'll throw in some faves soon. My spotify playlist already has about 50 things in it.

Agreed. This thread has been perfectly fine for umpteen years.

Favourite thing so far is the Pantsula! comp of late 80s South African dance music. I'm far from an expert but I hear early house, Italo, Shangaan sounds. Cover is some notable album art too:

Rae's long lost aunt

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GxLYCKB8v2w

cranberries when you're gone vibes

I'm really digging this bit of French trap that's currently number one over there apparently:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPnMFUsKm8w

That's Mwaka Moon by Kalash btw

New Nils Frahm is excellent

https://soundcloud.com/pamparecords/sets/pampa030-dj-koze-seeing-aliens

New DJ Koze

i'd say the new nils frahm is allright, not more. as the title says quite melodic. easy listening background stuff.

Frequently find James Blake’s music boring but his new song is glitchy and chopped up and I love glitchy and chopped up.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYXM3uz1bjM

My January tracks highlights:

tUnE-yArDs - Heart Attack
BØRNS with Lana Del Rey - God Save Our Young Blood

The Yearning - Something I Should Know

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Fj3LxYP1OU

^ i did make a fairly useless thread about peggy gou but i have not been able to shake this one track. classic larry heard-ish house business combined with the same sort of lovely breezy pop sensibilities as someone like dip in the pool

btw that's Peggy Gou - It Makes You Forget (Itgehane)

Oh heard that song earlier today through beatport’s top 100. I love it too.

new ionna starting year off strong

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ta0vVZDI-zk

Every time I see the name I can't help thinking: Peggy Gou, Peggy Gou, pretty pretty pretty pretty Peggy Gou.

muh playlist: http://spoti.fi/2BSfD3y

There’s some amazing songs I hadn’t seen anywhere else on that JF.

That has 33 more tracks than my tracks list! My albums list is just:

Various Artists - Pantsula! The Rise Of Electronic Dance Music In South Africa 1988-1990 [sounds like shangaan x Italo x early house everyone should love this]
Fire! - The Hands [free jazz good times]
Weirdest Dream - White Worms [yr standard analog synth explorations always a treat]

yeh this pantsula comp rules

Here's my rolling 'tracks I'm discovering and enjoying in 2018' list if anyone's interested. https://open.spotify.com/user/1153731601/playlist/4OUN4DPAXPu5Uo8mFpuc4M <-new and old stuff in here but a lot of it is up to date

Another fan of that Pantsula comp here

We seem to be in a golden age of African music compilations right now. I'll need to give the Pantsula a good listen. I am also really really enjoying the 'Sweet As Broken Dates' comp of Somalian music on Ostinato at the moment.

that Fire! track is nice, like their combination of heavy grooves and free spirits

favorite albums so far

Ilyas Ahmed - Closer to Stranger
https://vimeo.com/235687424

Dean McPhee - Four Stones
https://deanmcphee.bandcamp.com/album/four-stones

Soho Rezanejad - Six Archetypes
https://siliconerecords.bandcamp.com/album/six-archetypes

I just heard the Rae Morris album, and I'm just going to call it that it'll make the top ten in ilx's 2018 poll.

mmmmmmaybe it'll place

I just heard the Rae Morris album, and I'm just going to call it that it'll make the top ten in ilx's 2018 poll.

― President Keyes,

It's definitely winning 2018 for me right now.

Johnny fever please don’t leak the results

I really like Atletico but the first couple of tracks of the album proper weren't really doing it for me. I'm convinced to give it another go.

Getting really addicted to Mor Mor - Heaven’s Only Wishful
I have a soft spot for songs that are sung continously low key and monotonic until the end where the singer starts sing-shouts. Selena Gomez Bad Liar did this too.

This Rae Morris album is wallpaper.

don't get the rae morris love. the single do it was heavy handed

digging the new half waif. beautifully layered vocals, rich bed of synthetic sounds.

"Keep It Out": https://youtu.be/Iou7N2oJq3A

The two Helena Deland singles and the two Amen Dunes singles released so far are great. I think those two + US Girls are pointing out to be my favorite albums in the first quarter of 2018.

"Dark Oscillations" by Loma is pretty trippy-- spacious production, choral effects, almost proggy feeling. I think younger Hunt3r would deem this cheesy, but not now. Entire album is beautifully assembled.

That Loma album is great. Recommend you to listen the albums from the bands forming it: Cross Record and Shearwater. The former in particular (wabi sabi) is amazing.

thx! i'm psyched to check that Cross Record album.

monthly update:

The year is still young but I highly doubt anything will beat this one, or even come close: Camp Cope - How to Socialise & Make Friends
https://campcope.bandcamp.com/album/how-to-socialise-make-friends-2

Alela Diane - Cusp
https://open.spotify.com/album/6jGsKEUE3weS6QBs5tR2M4

Marisa Anderson - Cloud Corner
https://marisaanderson.bandcamp.com/track/cloud-corner

Marisa Anderson reminds me of Adrian Legg a little bit, w/o all the fucking around with the tuning knobs.

Favourite albums:

Mgmt - little dark age
Ionnalee - everyone afraid to be forgotten
First aid kit - ruins
Us girls new one

Year feels young but four great albums by march isn't bad

Six of my faves thus far

https://i.imgur.com/DYILbV5.jpg

Sarah Klang - Love In The Milky Way
Tracey Thorn - Record
Soccer Mommy - Clean
Starchild & The New Romantic - Language
Khruangbin - Con Todo El Mundo
Grace Vonderkuhn - Reveries

love the Khruangbin album

I'm not sure how much anyone cares about French music around here but I really like the new album by this band called Feu! Chatterton. It's kind of hard to describe, it fits the nouvelle chanson française descriptor I guess, sounds a bit Gainsbourg-y in a few places, singer kinda overdoes the romantic/sad Parisian poet thing at times but I don't mind. Here's "Souvenir", give it a shot:
https://youtu.be/qunnzffFTj0

Also enjoying the new Eric Chenaux album which is available to stream over at The Quietus:

Ah yes link again : https://open.spotify.com/user/moteldemoka/playlist/4G8vQwgf0H6hDomIeFT3C4?si=D_ckFgWPRoy9Uo5ewronmg

Better sound quality here:

With the new album, I think Young Fathers have now moved into my all-time top 200 artists.
They're so primitive, so lo-fi, and yet so stylish and layered and lush.
Not mind blowing, just consistently fine.

Superorganism s/t owns imo

re: is there a way I can c/p the tracklist from spotify?

Niels, yes you can do this by following these instructions:

1. First, make your Playlist Public on Spotify.

2. Sign up for a free account on SpotOnTrack (this only takes 10 seconds) - create a new username / password. then verify account via email.
http://www.spotontrack.com
SpotOnTrack uses a Spotify API for Spotify Data.

This site is not affiliated with or part of Spotify.

3. Wait 24? to 48 Hours? for your playlist to be indexed on SpotOnTrack. maybe the API retrieves data sooner?

4. Find your playlist, either by playlist search (this can be very slow as there are currently 3,008,564 playlists, so give your playlist a unique name) or by search for an artist then track that is included on your playlist (pick an obscure artist / track so that you can find your playlist easily)

5. When your playlist has been displayed, highlight the text you need from the bottom upwards with your mouse, right click copy - then use a text editor like Notepad on Windows 10 to paste the text to.

e.g forksclovetofu's 2018 Keepers playlist on Spotify
https://open.spotify.com/user/forksclovetofu/playlist/5F4O9GGhAEY5zYDDakpCuB
has 280 tracks at the mo, 9 followers

on SpotOnTrack
http://www.spotontrack.com/playlists/2681487#tab-tracks
(you need to be logged in to see this)
data is grouped 100 entries / per page

and this is an example of the copy / paste to notepad (i have only included the first track)

data elements:
track title
artist
date added to playlist
BPM
Music Key

Added on
1 All The Stars (with SZA)
SZA, Kendrick Lamar 2018-01-05 BPM 97
Key G#

it's not perfect, so you may need to do some manually reformatting in your text editor / Word Processor e.g Artist - Track

alright, thanks for sharing - a bit more troublesome than I had hoped, but it's always cool to see people are using the API to do stuff like that (recently found another one that lets you automatically follow all artists in your library)

debut track from 17 year old singer from Nottingham, lovely vocals (found via Mary Anne Hobbs, BBC 6 Music)

ah lee noble, that had passed me by

I don't know what the name of the non-indie-pop indie thread is, but it doesn't have "rolling + 2018" in its title so I can't find it.

Anyway, I heard a couple tracks from this Frigs album, Basic Behaviour, on the radio tonight and I'm all in.

Loving this comp of mostly-unreleased weirdo 80s synthpop by session dude Tommy Mandel

https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2483/4736/products/ICE015_TommyMandel_Art_1080x.jpg

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88M7XgIOpNI

been hearing a lot of stuff from that on nts - sounds good!

really liking this

Friend on that Mandel collection sounds a lot like Arthur Russell.

Allow Me to Destroy You sounds like Ariel Pink, even the title.

Wait... so the vocals on Friend ARE Arthur Russell??

What's the story with strange comp? I feel like this is another moment where the whole decontextualised experience of Spotify fails me.

Ain't gonna start a standalone thread for it, because my track record with those is poor, but I implore everybody lurking in this thread to listen to Kadhja Bonet's 'Childqueen' album: http://kbonet.com/album/childqueen

impressed with the last one, will check it out

the Dead Tongues album seems to be sticking to me. Late summer nights bourbon sipping companion.

After making possibly the worst EP that I listened to last year, Laure Briard has bounced back with one of my top 3 EPs of 2018 so far. Recorded in Brazil, sung in Portuguese and steeped in Brazil's recent musical history, it gets the balance between her pop and experimental tendencies exactly right this time.

You can stream the EP on bandcamp here: https://laurebriard.bandcamp.com/album/cora-o-louco

quite like this:

The new Jaye Jayle album is tremendous.

https://soundcloud.com/invadauk/beak-brean-down

Absolutely love this Lake Ruth track, especially the wonderful keyboard work. Whole album is a joy.

sooo, ILX, how about this new BEAK> track?

love those drums

The new Jaye Jayle album is tremendous.

This is tremendous; it glowers and seethes like the For Carnation (Todd Cook plays bass) and Raime. Thanks for the heads up

^ love this!

Forgot to say I also got 'round to Toni Braxton's Sex & Cigarettes in July - a seriously overlooked album? It's very good anyways.

I love Ciara but I just can't co-sign a song that includes the line "yummy all in your tummy."

I...had the same issue

no disrespect to Ohio Express.

what is mind the gap jeff

oh fuck the radiophonic workshop have a new single?

also, oh fuck homeboy sandman and edan have a record coming out? god fucking damn

what is mind the gap jeff?

oh fuck the radiophonic workshop have a new single?

It's on a 7" you could buy with Issue 43 of Electronic Sound magazine. I read you can buy the record by itself for £7.99 from the same source.

Loving the new Helena Deland - Claudion

https://youtu.be/zUOaObWpCc8

Has some nice layered synths with what sounds like 90’s pop influence to my ears... similar to what Grimes was doing in Visions.

Walter Wolfman Washington 's latest album "My Future is my Past" has him singing ballads rather than playing lots of blues and funk guitar. I think it sounds great. He's based in New Orleans.

Tal National and Fatoumata Diawara are still top albums for me as well

More people should be mentioning the The Amazing album - like pre-mumbling Mark Kozelek meets Slowdive

Madly in love with the new Tirzah album. Holding On and Do You Know are particularly great.

Whoa new album!

Tirzah

a couple of recent Erstwhile releases have sort of reinvigorated my interest in the label.. that, and there's a 20% discount on all titles until August 15 (on bandcamp)

https://erstwhilerecords.bandcamp.com/album/mosquitoes-and-crabs
https://erstwhilerecords.bandcamp.com/album/my-trust-in-you

each album is a duo recording, each sounds both improvised and assembled (as collage) -- the Will Guthrie / Hong Chulki is probably the livelier of the two--featuring (heavy) bits of turntable and guitar wreckage, fragmented pieces of percussion and instances of straightforward drumming, electronics (sharp radio static-like sounds, etc.), and field recordings. they're both very well recorded--Mosquitoes and Crabs has a great visceral punch and prickliness to it.

My Trust in You (Marc Baron and Lucio Capece) is more varied, with lots of tape recorder/recording -fuckery by Marc Baron (along with other "analog devices"), and some lovely / atmospheric clarinet work by Lucio Capece. Capece is also credited with "slide saxophone, analog synthesizer and filter, drum machines, double looper, equalizers in feedback, regular and telephone field recordings, mini speakers in movement"

these albums are sort of a breath of fresh air, re: Erstwhile releases, and it's a good time to take advantage of the 205 off sale.

err, 20% off until the 15th

really enjoying the Nina Kinert album, getting kind of a Sundfor vibe - lots of ornate piano. Sam Herring of Future Islands guests.

thanks for letting us know about that, the last Nina K album was exquisite

was going to try to find a home for this Wind Atlas song in one of the rolling threads but I'll just stick it here

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HR3eC0YkS7I

Future Me Hates Me By The Beths (which has been mentioned on the Alvvays and New Zealand music threads) is fast becoming my album of the year. So many amazing hooks crammed into every song and the harmonies/backing vocals are unbelievable. Could be this year's Charly Bliss.

Little Death is a probably my current favourite, but that keeps changing whenever I listen to it.

https://youtu.be/pBHBUpkRTgI

Could be this year's Charly Bliss

I'm interested

Could be this year's Charly Bliss.

I was interested, but what I love about CB is that their very melodically strong crunchy guitar songs have a total pure joy x-factor. This Beths song doesn't. It's perfectly fine, but feels like it was written specifically to be just that.

They're more akin to the more upbeat side of the Go-Betweens than Charly Bliss, imo. (It's a great album.)

the beths album is great, i'm hit and miss about what hyped records i listen to but my favorite power pop band is the toms so i pretty much had to listen to it and i'm so glad i did even if it's for ultimately superficial reasons

I hadn't made the Go-Betweens connection before, but I totally get it. That probably explains why I'm so obsessed with them right now as I've been on a big Go-Betweens kick recently. I guess they just remind me of Charly Bliss in the way it's brilliantly played indie pop with influences from the same era and tons of character. I'm getting that same rush that I got when Charly Bliss started clicking for me. She definitely doesn't have the same unique style that Eva does. Maybe this album has more in common with the Alex Lahey album?

Anyway, I'm hoping that The Beths take off on here and can make the end of year top five like Charly Bliss did. I think a lot of people will love this record.

was sure I'd posted this but I guess not, anyway, Skeleton Move by Master KG and Zanda Zakusa is just wonderful

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwTMvh8fI4I

every time i say this is going to be the last fucked up record i'm going to listen to, that it's about time their sonic experimentalism combined with shouting punk singer got old for me. nah, it doesn't.

Their most recent single is fantastic.

Hey, Pitchfork just reviewed the latest Aphex Twin ep.. it's high time we started talking about it. Those Fenix Funk 5-esque melodies on the latter half of "MT1 t29r2", my god

this is from 1987, but apparently it's being reissued this year? Stephane Sévérac - Hold On

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgyvDwHKtAQ

good stuff, george michael vibe

xp The original 12 inch mix is fantastic.

I think it was supposed to have been reissued last year on Pacific Beach Vinyl but never seemed to materialise.

Made with alarmingly obsessive attention to detail, one for Brits and Anglophiles of a certain age…

http://www.acidjazz.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/MattBThemesPackshot3000.jpeg

Our Girl supported Bill Ryder Jones on his recent tour. Their album has been out since the summer 'Stranger Today'. They were great live and the album hits some Lush spots in parts.

Not Pop Not Indie Shambhala 2018 Thread

That's nice though!

Shout out to a September album release that I just caught up with but was an insta-buy: the latest Tokyo Elvis LP "Nice & Pleasant". As ever with him, the words are mostly sung by a vocaloid software voicebank persona that you'll either love or hate but there's unexpected depths in the writing. Possibly my favourite pure pop LP of the year. Listen here: http://tokyoelvis.bandcamp.com/album/nice-pleasant
