  3. Meursault – I Will Kill Again
  4. Sleep Party People – Lingering
  5. Sylvan Esso – What Now

Snuck Sylvan Esso in as number five, as they’re the only one of the albums I really like which might get anywhere in the roundup (with Jens trailing far behind). Could’ve quite happily done a top 30 or 40 I think.

1 Phoebe Bridgers - Strangers in the alps
2 Julien Baker - Turn out the lights
3 Mogwai - every country’s sun
4 The national - sleep well beast
5 Craig Finn- we all want the same things
