Still my favourite by her, Aldous Harding's expression of ahedonia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xr-ox57Dwgg She sings 'the beauty is so close to me' four times, each time slightly differently and bringing out both the beauty of her voice and that sense that she is 100% invested in that musical m...

Guess I'll be the only one to put Japanese band Qujaku's selftitled album in their list, let alone top 20.

It is on my 'must hear before making a list' list.

DaveC

I'm being persuaded that it is wise to hold back on the 2010s until 2023, I feel that my 2010s lists will be rather preliminary at the end of this year, but maybe a breathing space will provide a better perspective than launching straight into year polls. Anyway, I do love the music of the 1970s.

DaveC

Well I will be rating Ordinary Corrupt Human Love above Sunbather! The ArchAndroid far above other Janelle Monáe albums (the recent critics lists suggest that this is not the common view). Front Row Seat To Earth will be my highest ranked album by Weyes Blood. The big three will only make a few appe...
