It’s that time of year again where I declare my favourite albums from the last 12 months, it’s not been a vintage year but there’s still been some great stuff around. For those with Spotify I’ve created a list of all the albums (apart from the two that aren’t on there*) HERE. I’ve also made a shorter playlist featuring a track from each album HERE
Here’s the list in no particular order..
PJ Harvey – “Let England Shake”
Iron & Wine – “Kiss Each Other Clean”
Gruff Rhys – “Hotel Shampoo”
Pugwash – “The Olympus Sound”
The Horrors – “Skying”
Treefight for Sunlight – “Treefight for Sunlight”
Jonathan Wilson – “Gentle Spirit”
Danger Mouse & Daniele Luppi – “Rome”
Jonny – “Jonny”
Fionn Regan – “100 Acres of Sycamore”
Wilco – “The Whole Love”
Jay Z & Kanye West – “Watch the Throne”
The Jayhawks – “Mockingbird Time”
White Denim – “D”
Ryan Adams – “Ashes & Fire”
The Silver Seas – “Chateau Revenge”
Ron Sexsmith – “Long Player Late Bloomer”
Real Estate – “Days”
*The High Llamas – “Talahomi Way”
*Gillian Welsh -“The Harrow & The Harvest”
The Beach Boys -”The SMiLE Sessions” (Technically a re-issue but as The Beach Boys version of SMiLE hasn’t been officially released before I’m counting it as new)
Mister Fusty – “The Waiting Room” (Oh ok, that last one was a plug!)
