Right, decision made. 

Rolling Blackouts is my AOTY.  An album I've listened to repeatedly and enjoyed every time.  No songs on there I want to skip.  Scrolling through stuff to listen to it's one I always hover over, never just completely bypass. Also sounded great live. Done.

1. Hope Downs - Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever

2. Future Me Hates Me - The Beths

3. Illusion of Perfection - Spencer Brown

4. Honey - Robyn

5. Build A Tower - The Slow Readers Club

Autechre - NTS Sessions 1-4

Low - Double Negative 

Robyn - Honey

Julia Holter - Aviary

Love this set. Absolutely superb. It's aregular spin at Mardy Mansions, and one I'd forgotten about when picking my albums of the year. Nice one. Might have it down as 'Box Set of the Year' as it goes.

So in no particular order, although Yves Tumor and Tirzah are probably my interchangeable faves from the year.

  1. Lonnie Holley - MITH
  2. Tirzah - Devontion
  3. Let's Eat Grandma - I'm All Ears
  4. Idles - Joy as an Act of Resistance
  5. Yves Tumor - Safe in the Hands of Love
  6. Octavian - SPACEMAN
  7. Pusha T - Daytona
  8. DJ Koze - Knock, Knock
  9. Mitski - Be the Cowboy
  10. Camp Cope - How to Socialise and Make Friends

Narrowly missing out were Shame, Rival Consoles, Throwing Snow, Kids See Ghosts, Earl Sweatshirt, Oneohthrix Point Never, Snail Mail...

For a slightly more conclusive list; 

Against All Logic - (2012-2017)
Jon Hopkins - Singularity 
Leon Vynehall - Nothing is Still 
Beach House - 7 
Nils Frahm - All Melody 

Props to Arctic Monkeys for making their best album ever, and Jorja Smith for some of the best singles of the year.

Vynehall record worth a shot then? Heard it's quite change of tone for him.
