Didn't realise Cloves' album was out. Spotify likes to show me new releases but it's just stuff from weeks ago. Does my head in. Tidal always put the proper new stuff, no matter how unpopular it was going to be, right at the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quark Posted June 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 Righty, apologies one and all but this is going to be short and sharp. No time to craft pithy takes or compile stats I'm afraid; this month we're straight down to brass tacks. One very clear runaway winner this month. 1. ICEAGE - SEEK SHELTER (30 POINTS) 2. SQUID - BRIGHT GREEN FIELD (14 POINTS) 3. ST. VINCENT - DADDY'S HOME (13 POINTS) So after 5 months here are your 15 contenders so far: Iceage - Seek Shelter Squid - Bright Green Field St. Vincent - Daddy's Home Royal Blood - Typhoons Dry Cleaning - New Long Leg The Coral - Coral Island Arab Strap - As Days Get Dark Bicep - Isles Black Country, New Road - For the First Time Nick Cave and Warren Ellis - Carnage Lana Del Rey - Chemtrails Over the Country Club For Those I Love - For Those I Love Mogwai - As the Love Continues Arlo Parks - Collapsed in Sunbeams Shame - Drunk Tank Pink 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look forward to your way with words! I'll do a later month too! Looking at that year list so far - a couple of albums on there I loved but haven't gone back to in a while!

gigpusher Posted June 8, 2021 Report Share Posted June 8, 2021 Hard to believe the end of this month will be halfway point already. Must re-visit some of my favourites and start thinking about best albums of the first half. I'm happy to do October as long as the internet in my holiday cottage is ok I should have time to do it.
