Lead singer (I think) was on the 6 just now, described his ideal slot as the Park Stage on the Friday or Saturday night "just as the sun goes down". Can see them headlining Park or JP.

Gnomicide Posted November 26, 2018 Report Share Posted November 26, 2018 Going have to go for the old 'no particular order' as none have really blown me away this year, plus two pre-orders still to come. All very enjoyable but the earth hasn't moved.

SwedgeAntilles Posted November 27, 2018 Report Share Posted November 27, 2018 This popped up on the FB feed last night after Soccer Mommy gave them a shout out for her top 5 placement. Decent list if you're an indie monkey like me; https://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2018/11/the-50-best-albums-of-2018.html Haven't heard of the #1 before though, giving it a spin now. It's good, getting some Angel Olsen vibes off of her. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn straight, it's very much in my top 5. Certainly the album that's had the most repeat listens over the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a fan of The Decemberists, but I'm quite surprised they've put it this high. Definitely not their best, although it has some enjoyable lyrics that please my melancholy. Glad to see Lucy Dacus, Soccer Mommy and Snail Mail in the top 10, all in my list of most listens this year. Hop Along also recently. Good year for female-fronted indie. Boygenius just an EP and not included I think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really enjoyed Hinds and Beach House too. Heard good things about Soccer Mommy so that'll be on my to listen list. Love a bit of female fronted indie.

Listened to it again yesterday on the way home in the pissing rain and it absolutely clicked. Had another spin this morning (pissing rain again) and yep, still works. I'd say it kinda suits a certain set of conditions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quark Posted November 28, 2018 Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 I've come to the realisation that trying to compile my top 10 for the year is my adult equivalent of trying to write a book report on the bus to school. It's unstructured, based on the most recent parts I've listened to, hastily cobbled together and will stand up to absolutely no scrutiny whatsoever. The only difference is I'm not actually having to stand up in front of a class full of eFesters sniggering away while my list is torn to pieces by Mr Jefferies. As you can tell I have absolutely no lingering issues from my schooldays... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwedgeAntilles Posted November 28, 2018 Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 (edited) Got a decent 20 something long list now, probably give it another week then post my top 10. Placements will be tough this year, plenty of stuff I've really liked but no runaway winners, and I'm firmly against the 'in no particular order' stuff.

BreadMakesYouFat? Posted November 28, 2018 Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 AOTY for me is easy... Now, Now - Saved Considering I thought they'd split up, I got pretty emotional when they announced new music. Think Death Cab For Cutie meets Carly Rae Jepsen.

Omg yesterday somebody on here mentioned Artemis Fowl and I typed up a whole post about how I was supposed to read it in Year 5 and do a review of it but I didn't and this lead to me being stood up in front of the whole school and an effigy of our lord Jesus Christ to receive a bollocking and I've never really recovered but then I deleted it because it revealed too much about my damaged soul.

When you say "you" do you mean in a general sense or are you accusing me personally of going off on lengthy non-sequiturs? Either way it was horrifying, I looked around the hall for a supportive face but there was none. All the teachers had intently knitted brows and beady little eyes glaring at me in a "this is what you deserve" way, all my fellow schoolchums were absolutely loving the savage takedown, even Jesus himself averted his gaze. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the son of God who supposedly died for our sins, didn't see it necessary to intervene when a defenceless child was subject to a comparable public execution.

I meant in a general sense but I was mostly poking fun at myself for posting constant anecdotes that I know no one cares about. And of course I missed out the word "know" in that post. But that's besides the point. Anyway, should have done your book report instead of posting on eFestivals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
