I’ve got highly important stuff today like ironing and making packed lunches for me during the week and so I’ll count up the votes at noon today. Get your final choices in quickly.

  1. Ghost Halo - Chemical Rain
  2. Ratboys - Printer’s Devil
  3. Wednesday- I Was Trying

Only just realised there’s a new U.S. Girls album too. Need to give that a go!

That’s a March release. I skimmed listened to it. Probably will rate high on many people’s March AOTM vote.

Beatrice Dillon and Lanterns On The Lake were on joint 12th with 24 points for those interested.

Feel like the Caribou album got a bit of a kicking in the thread too, so it’s odd to see it second place! Surprised to see that the Against All Logic album at the top too. Not that I’m complaining about either entry, like them both a lot!

A worthy winner, and that’s ignoring the amazing EP that he dropped just before the album!

Three excellent albums, good work DiS

This has grown on me significantly - AOTY so far imo.

Just listening to this album now and I’m really enjoying it! Would easily have made my top five last month.
I thought I had listened through your list last month, but must have missed this one, or maybe I just came across a song that didn’t immediately jump out.
Very impressive album.
