My top 5 in no specific order

Blur - The Magic Whip

New Order - Plastic

Courtney Barnett - Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit

Wolf Alice - My Love Is Cool

This Is The Kit - Bashed Out

... and I have to sneak Israel Nash's Silver Season in here, recently released and just stunning. I hope he comes back to EOTR higher up the bill soon.

The new Mystery Jets album "Curve of the Earth" is very good. Just having my first listen. This would definitely fit at the festival, quite an expansive sound. Have they played EOTR before? I must have missed them if they did.

Been a really excellent year for music so far, already looking far better than last year (although maybe that's because I've been paying a lot more attention to new releases):

Tindersticks - The Waiting Room
Shearwater - Jet Plane and Oxbow
Ulver - ATGCLVLSSCAP
Motorpsycho - Here Be Monsters
Pinkshinyultrablast - Grandfeathered
Årabrot - The Gospel
Bullion - Loop the Loop
Oranssi Pazuzu - Värähtelijä
Guerilla Toss - Eraser Stargazer
Thao & The Get Down Stay Down - A Man Alive
Anna Meredith - Varmints
Fatima Al Qadiri - Brute
Damien Jurado - Visions of Us On the Land

Possibly the reason why I much prefer last year's line up to this year is that the artists of 3 of my top 2015 albums played last year:

Sufjan Stevens  -   Carrie and Lowell

Low - Ones and Sixes

Ryley Walker - Primrose Green

and one for any techno lovers (if there are any here) - Leftfield - Alternative Light Source
