I gave up on Lana Del Rey a couple of albums ago. I used to think I liked her, but I think I only like Ultraviolence.

I liked that Insides album from the playlist. Apparently they're a '90s band (the unsearchable name is a giveaway I guess) and this is their first record in 20 years??? You love to see it.

Really excellent to see Soft Bonds here! I thought it was a long shot and it's such a colossally gorgeous satisfying return.

So happy to see Insides make it! Such a gorgeous album that sounds like it could have come out a couple of years after Euphoria. I think it was in my top five.

I tried Soft Bonds when it came out and wasn't moved (Euphoria is classic, have cherished since hearing it in high school), but I just put it on and am transfixed, always appreciate this poll for moments like this

good to see insides beating both mogwai and godspeed, death to false post-rock amirite

Will this affirm or refute? I will find out when I can wrestle free of Saint Etienne's twilight vice (it's actually quite good).

refute! though tbc I wasn't challenging your characterization of the dominant mood but suggesting NOW as an antidote

best song on the insides record is the last one btw, 'undressing'

the title "i'm hole" feels like a doge meme or something so i haven't checked the album

Aw, Insides! I didn't hear this but JT has produced/mixed stuff for us and he's lovely so very glad to see them.
I did, however, vote for im hole, I think it's more interesting than a lot of the vibesy stuff on the list, though it definitely is vibesy in many places. Wasn't expecting it to place, tbh, so I've still got my fingers crossed for two more off my ballot.

once again heard most of these, i think i only haven't heard insides, mogwai and arab strap. the insides album especially seems promising.
stuff here i quite liked but didn't vote for: flock of dimes, yu su, nite jewel, ldr (chemtrails over the country club >>> norman fucking rockwell)
the aya album was one of the least enjoyable things i heard this year
― ufo, Tuesday, 8 February 2022 22:12 (two years ago) link
People rated the Arab Strap, then?

Interesting developments! I voted for these from this batch. Certainly didn't anticipate NIS&EP making it, so w00t!
47. aya - im hole58. Natural Information Society & Evan Parker - descension (Out of Our Constrictions)61. Mach-Hommy - Pray for Haiti
I spent a fair bit of time with the Yu Su, Loraine James and Saint Etienne too.
Pretty sure I didn't know anything about Damon Locks et al or Flock of Dimes before this instant. The Locks video track certainly seems great so far. I keep meaning to listen to the Insides too, thinking "it's that Insides?!" every time I see the cover. I have a bit of homework to carry on with then...
― Nag! Nag! Nag!, Tuesday, 8 February 2022 22:22 (two years ago) link
Flock of Dimes one of those names that I loathe so can't see myself liking the music.

I'm not too big a fan of 'im hole,' it seems like something I'd love and then everytime I give it a spin I want to stop listening to it almost immediately lmfao

If this is people's first exposure to aya (which it likely is), her first EP as LOFT is still my favorite: https://astralplanerecordings.bandcamp.com/album/turbulent-dynamics
There's another really good one on Wisdom Teeth too, I think her best work is still ahead though.

that aya record was oddly disappointing to me, ended up just listening to more of her earlier, instrumental stuff instead after throwing that on
― octobeard, Wednesday, 9 February 2022 01:54 (two years ago) link
the Bicep album was nice, but in terms of melodic head bobbins, Ross From Friends and Lone both put out better records. Betting the latter two don't place.
― octobeard, Wednesday, 9 February 2022 01:59 (two years ago) link
Liked the Bicep, Ross from Friends, LDR and yu su albums when they came out, didn’t find myself replaying them much after the initial positive impression.
Loraine James and Joy Orbison I didn’t really payed attention to but loving them atm.
Don’t really recognize any of the other albums from today’s run. I need to listen to a bunch of stuff.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Wednesday, 9 February 2022 05:39 (two years ago) link
Great list so far! Only two of my votes have made it this far, and I'm stoked that everything else has apparently made the top 50! Yay BackRoad Gee, drill taking over ilx! Apart from that, several albums that I left off my ballot at the last moment, and a lot of new-to-me stuff that sounds really good. A bit more:
Emeka Ogboh was my 7, I love the sound. The psychedelic cacophony reminded me a bit of recent cinema from the continent to, such as Air Conditioner which I think can be seen on MUBI. Or Felicité by Alain Gomis.
Didn't vote for Insides, but it's really good, and I have to recommend everyone checking out Clear Skin, the 38 minute track they made in 94, which is one of my favorite things ever.
Loraine James my 21. Some of it was almost IDM-drill like, which I adored.
Also, yay jazz! There's a significant amount of jazz on the list so far, no? And I'm guessing quite a lot more to come. I really liked the Damon Locks, and while I didn't love the Vijay Iyer trio, I almost voted for the album Tyshawn Sorey made with King Britt. Also, I fear Anna Webber might have been the 78 this year :(
