Not a great year so far but Julianna Barwick & Mary Lattimore’s collaboration has been my aoty since its release. Other than that, really like Jenny on Holiday and Dobrawa Czocher.

Reckon it’s been the weakest year in ages so far. Nothing has hit great (possibly with a spot for Boards) although the below are all very good
Sluice
Fazed on a Pony
Boards of Canada
Friko
I do think that the back half of the year looks loads more promising though

Boards of Canada, Feels Like Heaven and Converge.
Going to wind up with over 300 albums on my first half longlist, but I’m not sure I’ve heard anything that would even make my top 20 last year.
Haven’t looked at / created a list as of yet. Guess it might be worth doing. I’ll report back.
