Rolling Favorite Tracks + Albums 2018

xp The original 12 inch mix is fantastic.

I think it was supposed to have been reissued last year on Pacific Beach Vinyl but never seemed to materialise.

Made with alarmingly obsessive attention to detail, one for Brits and Anglophiles of a certain age…

Our Girl supported Bill Ryder Jones on his recent tour. Their album has been out since the summer 'Stranger Today'. They were great live and the album hits some Lush spots in parts.

Exquisite funky disco goodness.

I like that new Oneohtrix track more than anything on the album.

Posting here because there's no 2018 shambhala thread and because it's a favourite track:

Not Pop Not Indie Shambhala 2018 Thread

That's nice though!

Shout out to a September album release that I just caught up with but was an insta-buy: the latest Tokyo Elvis LP "Nice & Pleasant". As ever with him, the words are mostly sung by a vocaloid software voicebank persona that you'll either love or hate but there's unexpected depths in the writing. Possibly my favourite pure pop LP of the year. Listen here: http://tokyoelvis.bandcamp.com/album/nice-pleasant
