A few that I have particularly enjoyed so far this year…
David Allred & Peter Broderick – What The Fog. Horns, piano & washes of drone.
Martina Bertoni – Music For Empty Flats. Processed cello.
Naoko Sakata – Dancing Spirits. Freestyle piano improvisation.
zakè & marine eyes – Unfailing Love. Warm, floaty atmospherics.
Yann Novak – Lifeblood Of Light & Rapture. Airy, swirling drone.

You should - it’s a really good record. That and last year’s Snowdrops record are pretty excellent.

New Murcof double album and Dr Alex’s new ‘Not The Orb but more The Orb than the last The Orb album’ project Sedibus seem to have gone completely under the radar here, too.

Track 3 on the Yann Novak record is just my sort of thing. Absolutely love it.

Adore this album and Norman are highlighting it in their mid year review so it’s at a really good price.
Might not 100% fit here as it is a bit on the folky side but definitely one ffo Grouper so anyway tyg.

Very Grouper-esque, which is no bad thing and it really is lovely. Cheers bud.

Got to be honest, I’m not really getting the Grouper reference, apart from the low-key, breathy vocal style.
I do, however, really like this!

Thought I had better post my own records for the half-year, given that I asked the question. On review, I had quite a few I could have included. But, to stick to five as many of you have, and in no particular order, but all that I have enjoyed immensely:
Alessandro Cortini - Sciaro Churo
Elori Saxl - The Blue of Distance
KMRU - Logue
AMULETS - Blooming
Black Swan - Repetition Hymns
