Nominate One Album That Everyone Should Hear Before Doing Their Year End List

Some great stuff here. My nod would have to be for Field Music - Open Here. Not exactly niche / an unknown band but I’d urge anyone to check this out if they’ve not paid much attention to these guys previously.

If I’m allowed a second it would be Hop Along.

Hilary Woods had a great album but I discovered this guy SC.Undercover, kind of an Indie urban singer the music so different. His album is my one of my favourites this year

That Cult Party record is superb. Really superb - thank you. Definite shades of Mount Eerie

Willower : she’s got a great voice and the music is quiet / dreamy. Maybe my album of the year…

Heard a track from this on Iggy Pop’s Show on Friday and think it’s been recommended here too. Really cracking album. Like Peaches’ weird cousin.

I missed her set at Visions Festival 2017 due to last minute changes in the stage times. I was so pissed off.

Black Holes (Solid Ground) - The Blue Stones.
Great Canadian powerduo, picking up from The Black Keys and extending beyond blues, too!!

Been listening to this album today. Absolutely bloody lovely.
