The Fallout
― Evan, Thursday, 10 February 2022 17:09 (two years ago) link
the 2021 album whose vocals and lyrics reminded me of the Fall in any way at all was by audiobooks, and it wasn't nominated
this Mr Twin Sister preview track is...much livelier than I remember them being? Hypersophistipop?

amazing album, I was really blown away by their skill and talent after watching the Tiny Desk Concert for this
― Muad'Doob (Moodles), Thursday, 10 February 2022 17:21 (two years ago) link
still one of favorite bass tones in indie pop.
Particularly in love with Serenade of Water and 5am Waltz. They have a late 90's downtempo/chillout/Boards of Canada thing going on which I wasn't expecting from them.

Love Men I Trust <3
I was thinking the other day how much I'd love to play drums in a band like that.

I didn't even know this was out there until the noms list, but I love it so much more than Oncle Jazz.

Weird that Men I Trust and Men Without Hats are both from Montreal, I wonder whether they ever play joint shows as Men I Trust Without Hats

Nice run today. I much preferred the latest Mr Twin Sister album to Salt which I never got into. I don't think I ever forgave them for leaving off Power Of Two and Echo Arms. This one comes close to the brilliance of their 2014 album.
Can't remember if I voted for Erika De Casier now. Beautiful album and a big step up from her debut.
Had a feeling Men I Trust would make it. Easily their best album yet and I ended up really loving Oncle Jazz. Great band.

I'm assuming Kacey Musgraves is shut out at this point? I enjoyed that one and had it in the lower reaches of my ballot, but I'm not sure it will make it into the top 20 - something of an upset after she placed #2 in 2018.

The Mr Twin Sister album is probably fine track-by-track, but what interested me about Beezle is repeated, with extremely limited variation, across every single track here, and the cumulative effect is...well, y'know. If you're into that sort of thing...
Gotta say, after the start I had visions of today being a little less relentless than it's turned out to be. Maybe this Koreless is something idk
― imago, Thursday, 10 February 2022 18:41 (two years ago) link
I really liked the Koreless Yugen EP in 2013 but didn't keep up with them at all. Hm.
― The sensual shock (Sund4r), Thursday, 10 February 2022 18:46 (two years ago) link
Heard the Koreless record when it came but never got round to going back to it. Vague memories of it sounding a bit like an updated Orbital?

Koreless basically didn't release between 2013 and 2021! I think he did some performances/commissions with orchestras somewhere in there? The album really grew on me, love the use of vocal samples (which feels like a callback to that post-dubstep era but also very fresh).
Lol @ "official lyric video"

Tirzah album felt to me like this year's equivalent of Pre-Millennial Tension-era Tricky. That's a good metric.

Feels like Sault a bit too high. Easily their weakest album.

With Sault it wasn't easy to decide to go with album or tracks. Personally I went with tracks and voted for Bitter Streets. The album is maybe a transition.
― Nabozo, Thursday, 10 February 2022 19:34 (two years ago) link
Love that Dean Blunt album, the first thing of his I've really gotten into. Voted for Sault too. I agree it's their slightest album, but that's by comparison to four great ones.
