2022 AOTY So Far

Beth Orton def deserves to be in the running.

I'm still hyped about that Yeule album. It may end up being my top pick. It's just everything I love about music in 2022.

I think the MYD might be the best dancepunk album but admittedly Ill be a little disappointed if its still my #1 of the year by Februaryq

several great albums this past week, all of which deserve serious consideration here:

Camron and ATrak - U Wasn't There
Alhaji Waziri Oshomah - Muslim Highlife of...
Vieux Farka Toure and Khruangbin - Ali
Makaya McCraven - In These Times
The Comet Is Coming - Hyper Dimensional Expansion Beam

I listened to that Comet is Coming; its def in my top 10 now for sure

death's dynamic shroud - Darklife is an instant contender.

I'll need a few more listens to fully absorb it (there is a LOT going on) but it's already resonating big time. Maximalist hyperprog feels like an apt descriptor.

Very into Cola (pka Ought)'s 'DeepnIj View' album

omar s and ron trent both need a mention here if no-one said them yet

Very into Cola (pka Ought)'s 'DeepnIj View' album

would hesitate to say that cola is "fka" as ought so much as it's the guitarist/singer and bassist from ought's new band, not a direct continuation. also deep in view is really great

Sorry folks, my stupid phone (and stupid me for never spellchecking posts)

Well... Cola really don't sound too different from Ought, and they formed pretty much as soon as Ought disbanded. They're like a more stripped-down and minimal version of themselves and it works as a trio

I can't get excited about this Cola record. I think Tim Darcy's voice just does nothing for me.

Thanks for the tips on Makaya McCraven and The Comet Is Coming. Both these albums are great, need to give them a few more spins.

The Shygirl album has vaulted into AOTY contention for me. 33 minutes, 12 tracks, mostly bangers.

whoa, this Death's Dynamic Shroud is most definitely *not* normally my thing, but i'm digging it

ILM singularity! ILM singularity!!

I mean, Ms ILM Singularity has an album coming out next month, so hold your horses etc

Obviously gaining my approval is a key constituent of the ILM Singularity

idk if you mean swift or crj

i mean someone who has won ILM AOTY more times than either of those two :p

(you knew this obv)

oh i genuinely forgot that it's both october and that there's a new weyes blood album soon because the single did absolutely nothing for me

underwhelming weyes blood single causes poster to forget month

Have been listening to this Jockstrap album a lot lately. "Concrete Over Water" in particular is really doing it for me.

Infinity Knives and Brian Ennals - King Kobra

Bracing, inventive political raps, like a more musically adventurous Run the Jewels but better

fireboy dml - playboy
stereolab & nurse with wound - simple headphone mind
big city - liquid times
cash cobain & chow lee - 2 slizzy 2 sexy

Music for Four Guitars by Bill Orcutt is the best new thing I've heard this year

Yeah that is great

Very much seconded

Yeah thanks, that one rules

god the Bill Orcutt album is excellent

good list from flopson

flopson and ums, you guys might like the album ‘finally new’ by they hate change

is this where we talk about the new shabason & krgovich album?

Cool voodoo I'll check it

Also, The Elephant Man's Bones by Roc Marciano and Alchemist is a new classic for me

Only 2/3 of the new Dawn collaboration has been released but it's been on heavy rotation recently

https://dawnrichard.bandcamp.com/album/pigments

Yeah that Dawn Richard album is already shaping up to be AOTY material. Most exciting 21/10 release imo. But I'll also give Taylor and Carly Rae a spin.

xp love the Shabason & Krgovich. "I am so happy with my little dog" is stuck in my head constantly

Will also be voting the Bill Orcutt album very highly. What a beautiful sounding thing.

(if we do a poll this year, i am increasingly thinking lad ash may win best album)

is this where we talk about the new shabason & krgovich album?

Some discussion of their previous album in the sophistipop thread. New one is not AOTY material for me, but I do love "I Am So Happy With My Little Dog", like Bernard

i am increasingly thinking lad ash may win best album

as it should
