These two have been very good to me as well.

 

A late mention for Fay - Din, which I've only listened to this last few days. Kind of avant-compositional RnB. More pleasant than that probably sounds.

 

Hope you're well JHC. Happy Xmas to you and yours.

You too mate,

 

Here's hoping you make a return to familiar shores, until then Joyeux Noel.

Here we are again! It's as good as the end of the year; which have been your favourite Long Players?

 

Some of mine...

 

Grouper - The Man Who Died In His Boat

Shoegaze-folk (folkgaze?), reminiscent of Flying Saucer Attack if they were lost in the American wilderness, rather than happy on a hill in Somerset. Gorgeous indecipherable melancholy.

 

Kemper Norton - Carn

Bucolic but eerie wormholes through time to haunted countryside. Gentle drones and rippling beats and tightening unease.

 

Boards of Canada - Tomorrow's Harvest

Seemed to fall off the radar almost immediately after release, but I've been listening ever since. It's dark, like a holographic raven. I think it's their best record.

 

Those are all really hushed and brooding. I'm sure I've listened to loads of happy music this year, but I can't remember what it was. What about you folks?

I wouldn't claim these as "best of the year", but here are four albums released in 2013 that I have listened to over and over:

 

The Next Day by David Bowie

Tomorrow's Harvest by Boards of Canada

Electric by Richard Thompson

Another Self Portrait (Bootleg Series, Volume 10) by Bob Dylan

Has nobody mentioned the London Grammar LP yet? It's mustard. Eye-stinging and nose-pinching mustard.

 

Saw them at Standon Calling in the summer having never heard of them. Really enjoyable album, seeing them at the Bournemouth O2 in Feb.
