I am really enjoying the Synne Sanden album. It's the kind of Shambhala-by-numbers I enjoy, a really good not-pop album of weird textures and post-diva singing. The fleeting appearance of jazz saxophones helps.

Also "Cocaine Style" is still remarkable.

On the teen-pop end, the video wears its Amanda Palmer influence in the merkins. Infuriatingly catchy.

I clicked on that despite seeing Kate Nash's name. I shouldn't have.

Playlist is updated; for a year where there was some hue and cry about the ebb of shambhala, there's still plenty to explore: 125 songs and 8 hours or so on tap.

Phases by Cellars is fast becoming one of my most played albums of the year. Nighttime Girl is a real song of the year contender for me. It's all about the gorgeous rising harmonies.

My favorite Norwegian album of last year, probably not as interesting if you don't speak the language but still catchy

where are Johnny Fever and Sanpaku to start the 2017 version of this thread? I would myself, but this one of those areas where everything I love about it is always news to me.

Just been listening to 'Twist' from this thread's playlist - thought it must actually be from the 90s so surprised to hear it was from 2016! Quite liking it but not sure how much of that is nostalgia...

― kinder, Sunday, 22 January 2017 15:47 (seven years ago) link
Anyways, the 2016 Spotify Playlist is updated and finalized.
