Albums of 2020

I half listened to the Strokes album this morning. I’ll need to give it another bash but I liked the opening track.

Slotface’s album is easily my favourite so far this year. Telepathetic, Tap the pack, luminous and passport are tunes.

Not listened to everything I want to hear that’s been released so far, but my current top 10 is:

1. Music Band - Celebration

2. Algiers - There Is No Year

3. The Strokes - The New Abnormal

4. Moaning - Uneasy Laughter

5. Daniel Romano - Visions Of The Higher Dream

6. Dua Lipa - Future Nostalgia

7. The Lone Bellow - Half Moon Light

8. Catholic Action - Celebrated By Strangers

9. Nadia Reid - Out Of My Province

10. Bambara - Stray

 

Dua Lipa was a total surprise. Proper pop brilliance. Also been digging The Wants and Barrie-James O’Neill’s new efforts.

Laura Marling's new one was a welcome surprise as its release took me by surprise. It's a lovely record. 
She's the greatest female solo artist of the last 20 years. Change my mind. 


I’d say PJ Harvey, but I know plenty of folk who’d agree with you.

Yeah I like it but I’ll need to give it a few more listens. I’m surprised they never put Chips and Gravy or I am nothing on the album. Great tracks.

 

I am nothing is the best thing they've done I think. The song on the album called  "It's ok" is fucking heartbreaking. So good.

Wasn't a huge fan of his first album but, The Bonny, is a really good album! [emoji106]


See I’m kind of the opposite. I loved the first album and think it’s far superior. However it is early days on The Bonny and there are 3 or 4 good tracks, but overall I’m a bit disappointed with it. I’ll need to give it a few more listens.

In spite of Pitchfork giving it a 10, Fiona Apple’s latest is unlistenable tosh.

10s from line of best fit, loud & quiet and others as well. But no, it's not doing anything for me either.
