Ouï didn't quite rise out of the pack of good 2017 albums for me but it's definitely Camille's best record since Le Fil. Did anyone try the alternate version, Ouïï, which seems to be the same songs arranged for voice and tambour?

sounds massive on the stereo.. like intermittent surf (breaks), or a jet plane carving out the sky - but very, very intermittent at parts. lot of silent breaks, it's aggravating to listen to actively

I think I read about it here first but now can't find it. Anyway, the Upper Wilds' Guitar Module 2017 is kinda wild. Dan Friel and Aaron Siegel making a glorious racket.

Ryan Power - They Sell Doomsday. Perfect smooth prog pop, kind of like a spikier, cynical Prefab Sprout. This guy is basically at Rundgren levels of one-man-band production.
