Oh man that's classic, though you might only be able to find the inferior re-recording on streaming

thanks for the warning, i will try to hunt the original down

The Aluminum Group - s/t is hovering around my 2022 top spot. Def the most play, next to Marconi Union - Versions.
A few other contenders not mentioned so far -
Caroline Loveglow - StrawberryMichael Head & the Red Elastic Band - Dear ScottMomma - Household Namebeabadoobee - BeatopiaBand of Horses - Things are Great
Thought maybe Working Men's Club - Fear Fear would jump on this list, but its highlight "Circumference" >>>> rest of the album

this album hits a lot of my sweet spots, so yeah, it is totally on my list.

Cut is probably my favourite xxp
Came here to mention the beabadoobee album - definitely a grower
Didn't realise there was a new Band of Horses album (or that it was any good)
― groovypanda, Thursday, 1 September 2022 11:01 (one year ago) link
I've certainly written off Band Of Horses ever since their first album. Assumed they just settled into this sort of boring mid level touring modern americana-ish rock band thing along with My Morning Jacket and Blitzen Trapper (the most disappointing of all... remember how weird and fun they were when Wild Mountain Nation came out? Alas)
― Evan, Thursday, 1 September 2022 15:15 (one year ago) link
new Band of Horses is quite good, imo ... not as good as their first two (or even three - I like the third, many people don't) but it's good.
Bridwell has more or less said "i let too many cooks in the kitchen on recent records, so for this one i tried to just recreate the early magic."
i think he got close.
― alpine static, Thursday, 1 September 2022 16:06 (one year ago) link
though i wouldn't say it's "2022 AOTY So Far"-level good!

best album of the year 2022 so far that was released on 17 December 2021 is Kelvin Momo’s Ivy League. jazzy, soulful, lush, lush!, propulsive amapiano, 21 8-minute-on-average tracks of it, you do the math. fans of Larry Heard and Kabza De Small can start licking their fingers on a corner called jazz.https://i.scdn.co/image/ab67616d00001e025760d5c3fa4aac1b32f4b5bd

Oumou Sangaré – TimbuktuMr. Fingers – Around the Sun pt. Ari Lennox - Age/Sex/LocationCharlotte Adigéry/Bolis Pupul- Topical DancerAmanda Shires - Take It Like a Man
― Malevolent Arugula (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 28 September 2022 12:55 (one year ago) link
why have I still not listened to Timbuktu?
new additions since my last post:
They Hate Change - Finally, NewBeth Orton - Weather AliveMakaya McCraven - In These TimesAri Lennox - Age/Sex/LocationRachika Nayar - Heaven Come CrashingAsake - Mr. Money With The Vibe (not really AOTY but promising)
― rob, Wednesday, 28 September 2022 13:38 (one year ago) link
I’d say Asake is very much AOTY material.
― human and working on getting beer (longneck), Wednesday, 28 September 2022 13:46 (one year ago) link
perhaps. I meant that parenthetical to be more ambivalent: I thought it was brilliant on first listen, but that impression has faded a little since
― rob, Wednesday, 28 September 2022 13:52 (one year ago) link
myd album was ok i thought but pray for me is 10/10
― nxd, Wednesday, 28 September 2022 16:09 (one year ago) link
but I'll give the whole record a relisten, might work better in the autumn
― nxd, Wednesday, 28 September 2022 16:28 (one year ago) link
Thanks, Alfred. Wouldn't have checked out the Amanda Shires album otherwise.
A few of my favs that I haven't seen mentioned:
Tomberlin - i don't know who needs to hear this..Two Shell - Home & Icons EPsSudan Archives - NBPQ
― Indexed, Wednesday, 28 September 2022 18:35 (one year ago) link
Beth Orton def deserves to be in the running.
I'm still hyped about that Yeule album. It may end up being my top pick. It's just everything I love about music in 2022.
― The Ghost Club, Wednesday, 28 September 2022 20:28 (one year ago) link
I think the MYD might be the best dancepunk album but admittedly Ill be a little disappointed if its still my #1 of the year by Februaryq
― everdose of cloverness (Drugs A. Money), Thursday, 29 September 2022 00:53 (one year ago) link
several great albums this past week, all of which deserve serious consideration here:
Camron and ATrak - U Wasn't ThereAlhaji Waziri Oshomah - Muslim Highlife of...Vieux Farka Toure and Khruangbin - AliMakaya McCraven - In These TimesThe Comet Is Coming - Hyper Dimensional Expansion Beam
― “Cheeky cheeky!” she trills, nearly demolishing a roadside post (forksclovetofu), Thursday, 29 September 2022 05:37 (one year ago) link
I listened to that Comet is Coming; its def in my top 10 now for sure
― everdose of cloverness (Drugs A. Money), Thursday, 29 September 2022 15:10 (one year ago) link
death's dynamic shroud - Darklife is an instant contender.
I'll need a few more listens to fully absorb it (there is a LOT going on) but it's already resonating big time. Maximalist hyperprog feels like an apt descriptor.

would hesitate to say that cola is "fka" as ought so much as it's the guitarist/singer and bassist from ought's new band, not a direct continuation. also deep in view is really great

Sorry folks, my stupid phone (and stupid me for never spellchecking posts)
― Urbandn hope all ye who enter here (dog latin), Thursday, 29 September 2022 20:37 (one year ago) link
Well... Cola really don't sound too different from Ought, and they formed pretty much as soon as Ought disbanded. They're like a more stripped-down and minimal version of themselves and it works as a trio
― Urbandn hope all ye who enter here (dog latin), Thursday, 29 September 2022 20:39 (one year ago) link
I can't get excited about this Cola record. I think Tim Darcy's voice just does nothing for me.
― The Ghost Club, Thursday, 29 September 2022 20:44 (one year ago) link
Thanks for the tips on Makaya McCraven and The Comet Is Coming. Both these albums are great, need to give them a few more spins.
― The Ghost Club, Sunday, 2 October 2022 06:31 (one year ago) link
The Shygirl album has vaulted into AOTY contention for me. 33 minutes, 12 tracks, mostly bangers.
