  5. Fiona Apple
  6. Laura Marling
  7. Haim
  8. Bob Dylan

  10. Soccer Mommy

A bit arbitrary in terms of picks and ordering towards the end but happy with that as a list. Would have had Lanterns on the Lake and Dua Lipa fairly high up if they’d made the cut

6 Phoebe Bridgers - Punisher
7 Bob Dylan - Rough and Rowdy Ways
8 Dan Deacon - Mystic Familiar
9 Jay Electronica - A Written Testimony
10 Caribou - Suddenly

Hard to know where to place Caribou - some of his best work on the one hand, but then the playing piano while twatting about with the pitch wheel on the other.

Four Tet & Destroyer both very nice, but both very much in their comfort zone, so miss out unfortunately.

  1. Trace Mountains - Lost in the Country
  2. Dogleg - Melee
  3. Happyness - Floatr
  4. Phoebe Bridgers - Punisher
  5. The Strokes - The New Abnormal
  6. Jeff Rosenstock - No Dream

Nadine Shah’s album just sneaked into the top 10 of June’s AOTM thread and so was eligible for this round of votes. Glad it did ok on this poll.

I hadn’t heard this before. Really fucking good.

This album is much, much better than its score indicates. It’s a top 5 so far, and I think it and Dogleg are the only albums on the list that are going to be in my top ten at the end of the year.
