Perversely unmentioned to date:
Colin Stetson - All This I Do for Glory (you know what to expect, close/contact mic sax aping minimalists, good but diminishing returns)Susanne Sundfør - Music for People in Trouble (acoustic-to-orchestral angst favored by fans of her last, ABBA-esque album. Spoken word bits belong elsewhere)Sevdaliza - Ison (close in conception to FKA Twigs, Arca-inspired downtempo with strong cabaret vocals by an Iranian expat)Kaleida - Tear The Roots (Soft Cell backing Tracey Thorn is an idea I can get behind. The EPs were better)Allie X - CollXtion II (craftmanlike synthpop, chugging away without much attention)London Grammar - Truth Is a Beautiful Thing (Hannah Reid is probably more talented than your favorite current vocalist)Nídia - Nídia é má, Nídia é fudida (ok, I mentioned this upthread, but Afro-house/electronica fans should be all over this)Hammock - Mysterium (plugging away at the ambient side of shoegaze for over a decade, this is among their best)Widowspeak - Expect the Best (more Mazzy twang indie. A personal weakness)Ifriqiyya Électrique - Rûwâhîne (Gnawa inspired call/response with sympathetic production)Anneli Drecker - Revelation for Personal Use (I'd love to see a S/D for post Bel Canto Drecker)Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith - The Kid (cheating: out 6 October. Florid bucolic dreampop, as one might expect)

Ooh, new Anouar Brahem! Not sure I've reached the point of diminishing returns with him, but every time I put one of the albums on, its lovely.

Big Thief - Haley
One of the best songs this year! Hear it right now!
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Thursday, 2 November 2017 06:39 (six years ago) link
It sounds like something I would have been listening to in 1983, maybe from Touch and Go Records, but so far I am enjoying it a lot, even though I hardly listen to anything like this these days:
Melkbelly - Nothing Valley
I think this vocalist has a good punk voice.
― _Rudipherous_, Thursday, 2 November 2017 15:52 (six years ago) link
She reminds me a bit of Mary Timony.
― o. nate, Thursday, 2 November 2017 17:01 (six years ago) link
The drummer is quite good too, and the guitars hit the spot for me (though there are no surprises). Very hooked on this for the moment.
I'm not familiar with Mary Timony except as a name--and I also recognize her photo. I'll have to check out some of her projects while I seem to be in the mood for this-sort-of-thing.
― _Rudipherous_, Thursday, 2 November 2017 17:20 (six years ago) link
Nothing she's ever done sounds much like this—maybe Melkbelly and Autoclave could overlap on a venn diagram on a good day—but she's neat. You may like her.
― Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Thursday, 2 November 2017 17:39 (six years ago) link
Listening to some Autoclave. Not too similar, but not bad. It would be an understatement to say I'm not a fan of most 90s rock, but as a result I also haven't heard a lot of it (where I might have listened to equivalently positioned bands in the 80s).

It's already gone from youtube? Checking Spotify. Is this going to be dance meets Sun Ra meets Arab music?

the youtube clip is working for me
― Dinsdale, Thursday, 2 November 2017 20:09 (six years ago) link
That video still doesn't work for me. Maybe it's not available in North America (though it doesn't say anything that specific).
I've also seen comparisons between Miranda Winters' vocals and Girlpool's vocals. I don't hear it based on what little I've heard of Girlpool (which is pretty zzzzzzz to me). Winters has a raw, slightly husky sound that somehow seem very unaffected and not as smug as so man indie vocals. She's hitting a familiar (that word looks weird to my sudafedinated brain) sound but I can't think of other vocalists that sound that similar. They probably exist though! So much that could be related to this that I haven't heard.
― _Rudipherous_, Friday, 3 November 2017 01:59 (six years ago) link
Track's also on Spotify, but then maybe not in North America.

sigh Mashrou Leila... I wish I had heard of them before this year as they are ridiculously amazing. Wondering if we can still nominate their latest album for the EOY poll - first came out in 2015 but re-released as a deluxe edition this year with a few extra tracks.
Love this song, basically queer Depeche Mode with Muslim instead of Catholic guilt: https://youtu.be/mSnJJv_cBDw

New additions to the playlist and a change (Knox Fortune song switched because I think I like this one better, but the whole album is good probably one of my favorites of the year) :
James Holden & the Animal Spirits - Each Moment Like the FirstGrapetooth - TroubleKnox Fortune - Lil ThingThe Shacks - Fly FishingE Ruscha V - Who Are YouThe Proper Ornaments - Memories
James Holden, Grapetooth and Knox Fortune might be appealing to BOC fans. It sounds very much post-BOC and nothing like them but there's some elements: hip hop beats, vintage and eerie synths, summer feels, a certain childhood nostalgia to them. Holden in particularly is close to that sound but the other two sound like pop singles produced by BOC.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Tuesday, 21 November 2017 17:57 (six years ago) link
