ILM's 2022 End of Year Tracks & Albums Poll / VOTING THREAD

xp yes the Rachika record is great! Didn't make my ballot but I might have regrets on that

Also don't overlook Marina Herlop's album Pripyat too! That one made mine

voted.

Clarification: Are ballots due 10 hours from now or 34 hours from now?

― not too strange just bad audio (brimstead)

From someone who is usually a procrastinator, the voting always ends Midnight on Friday Night. But even that usually is extended a few hours after that as seandalai is usually sleeping when it's that late in San Francisco.

Cool, thank you, submitted my ballot anyway!

Voted!

Albums basically done but tracks, as ever, proving to be a nightmare to cut to just 25

Last day to vote!

Voted! Mixed ballot this year.

mixed ballot is the way to go, i can't stand seeing a song i absolutely love finish with 1 vote for 1 point lol

When y'all were talking about the Rachika Nayar album I was not expecting an instrumental power ambient album with synths and guitars with infinite reverb. What's the backstory there, how did she get popular? It reminds me Mogwai or Godspeed without drums.

Also I'm not the indie rock guy here but I'm surprised that albums by Dear Nora and Second Grade weren't on the noms list.

"power ambient" otm lol

my ears are exhausted

just generally

though I'm probably especially deaf for ambient now. A few more pop tracks moving up a tracks ballot might be all i can muster at this point

aag but this Anna Butterss record is so good!

i should have nominated dear nora :(

The Rachika Nayar is a massive, immersive listen. Sequenced to take you on a complete journey, and a great comedown album. Post-rock with synths isn't too bad a descriptor, actually!

Dear Nora album is fantastic btw

Voted! Half my tracks ballot is Danish hits that nobody else will vote for, but still.

The title track of the Nayar album is a monster.

Just listened to the Water Gun Sky Attack track. Too late now but that would definitely have filled the 'Scott Walker being fed into a blender' shaped hole in my voting form.

quick, everyone go back and add it to your ballots!

submitted an albums ballot

prediction for ilm no. 1 is sudan archives

Voted!

so this explains why i cannot stop eating yogurt

lmfao sorry

what i MEANT to write was: I would have absolutely nominated and voted for the Tyshawn Sorey Trio 3-disc record— came out too late in the year for me to give it a listen, it is really good

Voted!
