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

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.

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
Before the year is over I'll try to cut the whole thing down to 50 songs. It's so hard, there's been so many good music this year.

Justin Adams - Ribbons
It is partly a more abstract take on various world music, which sounds like a frightening description, but I think the music is good nevertheless. Some tracks have Anneli Drecker on them (not someone I am familiar with, although I guess I have been very vaguely aware of the existence of Bel Canto). "Crow Dream" is a standout track (ahem, ulysses).

Was just listening to the accompanying playlist on shuffle and after a couple songs I wasn't too thrilled about, I hit one that finally made me ask "What is this?!" meaning: this is awful. Arcade Fire.

first listen (cursory), this is some cut n'pasty, OPN-like bullshit. 2nd listen, this is nowhere near KOCH levels. Third listen, 'holy shit!' - it's **dope** "af".. ultra-lean and concise, need to hear it again.

It's a fantastic album, one of his best (up there with 'Diversions').
Jungle/dnb died 16, 17 years ago*. Metalheadz, Fabio, Grooverider, Optical & Rush, Doc Scott: I commend them for plowing on, but it's sad really. *Nothing* of note, nothing evolutionary, nothing forward thinking - let alone brash futuristic, a core element of the genre - has come out since 2000 or so.
The only to in some way do justice, and use the breaks and synths of jungle past, is what Gamble does so masterfully. He doesn't do 'nods', but echoes and mutates what was so great about it and incorporates it into a sound palette of now.
* Disclaimer: I was a teenage junglist.
