use this thread to propose some albums for others to consider to listen to, because I liked this the last time we did it 
Thought the new Kevin Abstract was unfairly maligned, it’s pretty raw and imo way better than IGOR.
Billie Eilish grew on me a lot since I first heard it. Some great bits and it allows me to feel like I am a young person.
anyone else?
That Housewives album deserves so much more attention than it got. I’ve absolutely rinsed that album. Post-punk band discovers electronics done in the best way. Dormi is a particular favourite:
Big Thief
Sharon Van Etten
American Football
Sasami
Dawn
Holly Herndon
Ladytron
The National (maybe, haven’t made my mind up about it yet)
Solange
Good year so far 
Ooh forgot about ‘thank u, next’. Pretty great, that
Kind of having a slow year too, but here are ten full lengths that range somewhere from good to great (posted in the order I listened to them, I have no idea how to rank these).
Pedro the Lion - Phoenix
Sharon Van Etten - Remind Me Tomorrow
The Twilight Sad - It Won/t Be Like This All the Time
MONO - Nowhere Now Here
Better Oblivion Community Center - S/T
Spielbergs - This Is Not the End
SASAMI - S/T
Priests - The Seduction of Kansas
Big Thief - U.F.O.F.
The National - I Am Easy to Find
I’m not fully there on The National yet but I’m guessing I will be soon. People are really sleeping on that Pedro the Lion album, and I’m surprised that the SASAMI album isn’t making a bigger impact. The Spielbergs album will probably be my most listened to, it’s great.

Billie Eilish and The Comet is Coming are duking it out in my brain for the best album of the year so far title.
Now there’s a collaborative project I would pay good money to hear.
Listened to the solange album off the back of this thread, really enjoyed it. Would love to hear Gucci mane over more stuff like that track, it was absolutely shocking in the best way!
