I like the Loma record but "Black Willow" kinda towers over it for me. What a song.
― Simon H., Wednesday, 30 May 2018 22:36 (five years ago) link
I can confirm that the Die Wilde Jagd album is something special.

I am also shifting my complaint to the lack of syclops mentions
Syclops will be on my list.
Also thank u to rushomancy for listing Gurrumul - that's top 3 of the year for me.

oh sweetdeffo in my top 3 records this year
was it a full band? for some reason i thought it was one dude
― nxd, Wednesday, 19 September 2018 09:28 (five years ago) link
two dudes, drums, guitar and a whole raft full of modules and pedals and noodly things. 2000 Elefanten was particularly great. The drummer was brilliant. The guitary singer dude was awesome. really good
― Scritti Vanilli - The Word Girl You Know It's True (dog latin), Wednesday, 19 September 2018 19:29 (five years ago) link
drummer would have to be Dinger rock steady

aw sweet - think 2000 elefanten is my fav!& cosign dinger :D
― nxd, Friday, 21 September 2018 09:02 (five years ago) link
2000 Elefanten is a fantastic song, not sure about the rest of the album yet
― imago, Friday, 21 September 2018 09:12 (five years ago) link
rest of the album is brilliant but 2000 Elefanten is the hit - is it the only one with singing on it? Will definitely be in my EOY. Live it turned into a proper anthem. I could imagine these guys evolving into an excellent avant-rock/pop band on the next record

Datarock - Face the Brutality8. Janelle Monae - Dirty Computer9. They Might be Giants - I Like Fun10. 3.2 - The Rules Have Changed
