Animal Collective - Painting With is amazing. Live show was out of this world.

New Brian Eno should be out soon.

It has been a pretty good year so far for music....

This Kettel tune in particular really amazes me:

I'll continue to blow my trumpet for the new Matmos record.

[Alien Sugar]

[Fredd-E]

ANOHNI - HOPELESSNESS

[Fredd-E]

Bullion - Loop the Loop

[The Telepathic Kid]

some records which have made my loved list as of late (with approximated genres in the brackets);

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - Nonagon Infinity (Psychedelic tinged garage/prog rock insanity)
Deakin - Sleep Cycle (Gorgeous psychedelic folk-y niceness)
Quilt - Plaza (Catchy as fuck guitar based pop, Beatles-esque)
Cavern of Anti-Matter - Void Beats / Invocation Trex (mostly instrumental krautrock/Kraftwerk esque stuff - Formed by Tim Gane, former Stereolab member)
Sturgill Simpson - A Sailor's Guide To Earth (Soul infused rootsy country, not that over produced Garth Brooks shite)

And the new James Blake was great on first listen, a little too long though.

The new James Blake album is gorgeous. Modern Soul is my favourite track and I've been playing it non stop all day

[portiss]

I think it's safe to say we don't need this list anymore. Radiohead is not gonna be topped.

[Dandegyrecorder]

I think it's safe to say we don't need this list anymore. Radiohead is not gonna be topped.

unless, they are

Cult of Luna + Julie Christmas - Mariner

Nothing - Tired Of Tomorrow

[diabolous616]

really been enjoying the new Any Colour You Like LP, incredible stuff!

[The Telepathic Kid]

After a few listens the James Blake record has soured on me.

it's far too long, and could have been halved for a much more effective impact.

Also despite my initial listen being a little underwhelming, I keep having tracks from the Chance the Rapper mixtape stuck in my head.

Maybe it deserves a spot on the list.
