Songs From 2019 (oneper artist)
Another mixed bag of stuff i either enjoyed a lot, thought was excellent or interesting (regardless of taste… sort of), emerging artists to maybe look out for, and generally music that for whatever reason connected with me in some way, including the odd earworm i just couldn’t shake. Some artists are left off just to vary a little more from some other popular lists.Hope you enjoy some of this too and find something new to be taken by. Please do buy their music if you can and hopefully from a local independent record store if possible to support their work.There’s a spotify playlist (below) for easier listening but I’ve also posted a few links to extra things on some of them if you want to check them out.Spotify:

Songs From 2018 (one per artist)
Another mixed bag of stuff i either enjoyed a lot, thought was excellent or interesting (regardless of taste… sort of), emerging artists to maybe look out for, and generally music that for whatever reason connected with me in some way, including the odd earworm i just couldn’t shake.Hope you enjoy some of this too and find something new to be taken by.

In Alphabetical order:
The 1975 - Love It If We Made It
700 Bliss - Ring The Alarm (Moor Mother & DJ Haram collab)
Advance Base - Your Dog (Owen Ashworth is a longtime favourite and always love what he puts out. Such a gifted lyricist and such an empathetic deliverer, just always cutting deep, just always sounding uniquely him. The records & artists he’s putting out on his Orindal footprint are really impressive too - Julie Byrne, Gia Margaret, Dear Nora - so do keep an eye out on those releases)
Aidan Moffat & RM Hubbert - Quantum Theory Love Song
Alasdair Roberts w/ Amble Skuse & David McGuiness -a. The Fair Flower of Northumberlandb. Johnny O’the Brine(One of my favourite records this year, a quietly inventive old folk beaut from one of my favourite singers on earth.

Alison Cotton - All Is Quiet At The Ancient Theatre
Amen Dunes - Miki Dora
Anderson .Paak - 6 Summers

Birds Of Passage - Another Thousand Eyes
Black Midi - bmbmbm (Heard about them non-stop all year, about being this incredible live band, and all teenagers, so been intrigued for quite some time. Virtually no online presence, remaining somewhat mysterious, and only a couple of pieces to go by, but curious to see what’s coming from them)https://soundcloud.com/speedywunderground/sw024-black-midi-bmbmbm

The Dead Tongues - Pale November Dew
Dear Nora - Simulation Feels (12 years away, and back after renewed interest in their re-issued Mountain Rock LP last year courtesy of Owen Ashworth’s (Advance Base) Orindal Records)

Drinks - Real Outside
Durand Jones & The Indications - Don’t You Know
Earl Sweatshirt - Nowhere2go

Emily Fairlight - Body Below

Hermit & The Recluse - Sirens (New project from the rapper Ka, who continues to fascinate, with producer Animoss. This time the concept record combining his personal street stories with Greek mythology, with Orpheus vs The Sirens)
Hilary Woods - Kith
Homeboy Sandman & Edan - #NeverUseTheInternetAgain (Nice to hear Edan once again after so long, and especially with a favourite of mine in Homeboy Sandman)
Ian William Craig - Discovered In Flat
Idles - Danny Nedelko (Probably my favourite song of the year, and one of the most beautiful, impassioned & dearly needed statements of love & community we need right now. The video moved me to damned tears, it’s so beautiful)
The Innocence Mission - Green Bus
Institute of Landscape Architecture - Melting Landscapes (field recordings documenting Alpine glaciers and their changing landscape)https://landscapearchitecture.bandcamp.com/releases

Lonnie Holley - I Woke Up In A Fucked-Up America

Mich Cota - Kijà/Care (Two-spirit Canadian Algonquin artist who, after seeing her supporting Baby Dee at Cafe Oto very recently, had me excited for the bangers to come!)
Michael Nau - Funny Wind
Milo - Stet
Miss Red - Dagga
Mitski - Nobody
Moses Sumney - Rank and File
Moulay Ahmed El Hassani- Yak Ennas Mlklil Darou Labas
Mount Eerie - Tintin In Tibet
Mountain Man - Rang Tang Ring Toon (8 years since their last record, and so good to hear their harmonies once again. Ever as beautiful and transportive, but this time more wiser. It’s a really lovely record and such a needed balm)
Nap Eyes - Every Time The Feeling
Nathan Bowles - Now If You Remember (Didn’t know this was a cover, originally byJulie Tippetts, but it lodged itself in my head pretty good. Aquarium Drunkard rightly suggested an album or two back that, if Banjo Futurism is a thing then Nathan Bowles would likely be leading the pack. The remainder of this record definitely reflects that)
Nathan Salsburg - Impossible Air
The Necks - Bodyhttps://thenecksau.bandcamp.com/album/body
Neko Case - Hell-On
Nils Frahm - My Friend The Forest
Noname - Ace ft. Saba & Smino
Nostrum Grocers -‘98 gewehr (Milo & Elucid collab)

Panda Bear - Dolphin
Parquet Courts - Wide Awake
Penelope Trappes - Burn On
Peter Broderick - Words Of Love (An unreleasedArthur Russellsong Peter got to record after befriending friends and family of the great man. Part of a free album Peter released of Arthur Russell covers at Christmas featuring one other unreleased song. Do check it, it’s lovely)
Phosphorescent - Christmas Down Under (I could pick many from this record, but the sci-fi-like presence in the vocals gives it a strangeness and position i really loved)
Preoccupations - Espionage
Pusha T - Come Back Baby
Richard Swift - Broken Finger Blues (Such a dear and sad loss. I actually included this song a few years ago when Aquarium Drunkard featured it, so feel like i should select a different one from this most-recent record.... but dammit if it doesn’t highlight the very best of Swift’s talents).
Richmond Fontaine - Horses In Las Vegashttps://richmondfontaine.bandcamp.com/track/horses-in-las-vegas
Robby Hecht & Caroline Spence - Over You
Rocheman - Parades I & II (Caught/discovered Rocheman supporting Jenny Hval earlier this year in a church, and was really into it so I’m looking forward to seeing where it goes from here)
Rosali - I Wanna Know
Rosalía -Pienso en Tu Mirá
Rosanne Cash - She Remembers Everything

Sorry GIrls - Waking Up
Sourakata Koita - Ha-Madi (I don’t usually include too many - if any - reissues, but i love kora music and this record, “en Hollande” (’84), was a great discovery this year)
Stella Donnelly - Boys Will Be Boys (I was sure i had this in last year’s list when it was a single, but appears not so including it now with the album release).
Steven A. Clark - Feel This Way
Suuns - Make it Real
Swamp Dogg - Answer Me, My Love
Szun Waves - Constellation
Terje Isungset - Blue Horizon ft. Maria Skranes (all the music is played by intruments made of ice)
Theo Alexander - Matter of Balance
Tierra Whack - Black Nails or Hungry Hippo (A record of 15 one-minute tracks, full of ideas and all kinds of fun. Check out the “Whack World” short film for the record)
Tim Hecker - Keyed Out
Tinashe - Throw A Fit (Came across this song randomly via a Youtube video of dancer Jojo Gomez, and the attitude of it all just kind of thrilled me)
Tirzah - Gladly
Toby Hay - Bears Dance
Tom Demac & Real Lies - White Flowers
Tomberlin - Seventeen
Tracey Thorn - Queen
Tracyanne & Danny - It Can’t Be Love Unless It Hurts (I think, actually, that Jacqueline off the record would edge my choice here, but i needed a little more Tracyanne (Camera Obscura) in here to highlight the two of them)
Tropical Fuck Storm - You Let My Tyres Down (Aussie band made up of various Aussie bands, most recognizably Gareth Liddiard of The Drones, with an excellent debut record“A Laughing Death In Meatspace” that along with their name fits the music on this record. It’s acerbic, feral, sardonic, and plain great)
Ty Segall - Every 1′s A Winner (Just an absolute killerHot Chocolatecover, of all things!)

Valee - Womp Womp ft. Jeremih
Valotihkuu - Walking Through Dew Drops On The Lawn

169 Songs From 2016 (One Per Artist)
Once Again.....
Just a selectionof music/audio/sounds from the year gone by, that mostlyi enjoyed a good deal or thought was pretty outstanding, interestingor notable in some fashion. Some of them i think are exceptional (for numerous reasons & regardless of taste), some of them i’m very fond of as artists/songs, some are there as artiststo maybelook out for, and some others are just earworms or songs that just stayed knocking about in my head and are just nice to know - andperhaps might have been missed; some songs/artists are in here ahead of others just to vary it over other lists.
As always it’s a mixed bag, and I hope at the very least there is one piece of music here that’s new to you and that you are taken by.
And finally,as i don’t tumblr or blog or anything (bar this list), this won’t be seen by many (if any?) people so if you like it or think it’s of any worth in any way, please do send this on.
Hope you enjoy.

123 Songs From 2014 (one per artist) .... (plus extras)
Hello.Here again isagrouping of music/audio/sounds from the year gone by. That year being 2014, the 12th year of the month.These are just123 songsfrom a big batch ofsongs/artists i could have chosen from the year that i enjoyed a good deal or thought was pretty outstanding or notable, but you gotta cap it somewhere. (Key word here is “from”, and not “of” 2014) - it’s just a selection from the past year.
As always it’s a mixed bag as i’m fond of, and fascinated by, many styles & sounds and find value & richness in them all in one way or another. Some of them i think are exceptional (for numerous reasons & regardless of taste), some of them i’m very fond of as artists/songs, some are there as artiststo look out for, and some others are just earworms or pleasing songs that just stayed knocking about in my head and are just nice to know & perhaps might have been missed; some songs/artists are in here ahead of others just to vary it over other lists.
Hopefully there’s something new in here for you that you might be into.
Finally,as i don’t tumblr or blog or anything (bar this list), this won’t be seen by many (if any) people so if you like it or think it’s of any worth in any way, please do send this on. Hope you like it.

101 Songs from 2013 (one per artist)
Once again, here's a bunch of music/audio/sounds from the past year. These are just 101 songs of many more songs/artists i could have chosen from the year that i loved/liked a good deal or thought was pretty outstanding or notable, but you gotta cap it somewhere. Key word here is “from”, and not “of” 2012 - it’s just a selection from the past year. It’s a mixed bag as i’m fond of, and fascinated by, many styles & sounds and find value & richness in them all in one way or another. Some of them i think are exceptional (for numerous reasons & regardless of taste), some of them i’m very fond of as artists/songs, some are there to look out for, and some others are just earworms or just pleasing songs that just stayed knocking about in my head and are just nice to know & perhaps might have been missed; some songs/artists are in here ahead of others just to vary it. Whatever it is i’m boring on saying, it’s reasonably varied so hopefully there’s something new in here for you that you might be into. And as i don’t tumblr or blog or anything, this won’t be seen by many (if any) people so if you like it or think it’s of any worth in any way, please do send this on however it is that it’s done on this thing, thanks. Hope you like it.

More Music from 2012
Thought i'd put up another list of songs/artists from 2012 that i liked, just to share some more musicfolks might have missed. So many of thesecould just have easily made it onto the "101 Songs..." list and i think they're just as great, if not greater,as the ones that did, for the most part.To repeat from the previous list's synopsis:It's a mixed bag, as i’m fond of & fascinated by many styles & sounds & expressions and find value & richness in them all in one way or another. Some of them i think are exceptional (for numerous reasons & regardless of taste), some of them i’m very fond of as artists/songs, some are there to look out for, and some others are just earworms or just pleasing songs that just stayed knocking about in my head and are just nice to know. Whatever it is i’m boring on saying, it’s reasonably varied so hopefully there’s something new in here for you that you might be into. And as i don’t tumblr or blog or anything, this won’t be seen by many (if any) people so if you like it or think it’s of any worth in any way, please do send this on however it is that it’s done on this thing, thanks. Hope you like it.

101 Songs from 2012 (one per artist)
These are just 101 songs of many more songs/artists i could have chosen from the year that i loved/liked a good deal or thought was pretty outstanding or notable, but you gotta cap it somewhere. And please notea key word here is "from", and not "of" 2012 - it's just a selection from many artists/songs i liked or thought were great this past year.It's a mixed bag as i'm fond of, and fascinated by, many styles & soundsand find value & richness in them allin oneway or another. Some of them i think are exceptional (for numerous reasons & regardless of taste), some of them i'm very fond of as artists/songs, some are there to look out for, and some others are just earworms or just pleasing songs that just stayed knocking about in my head and are just nice to know; some songs/artists are in here ahead of others just to vary it.Whatever it is i'm boring on saying, it's reasonably varied so hopefully there's something new in here for you that you might be into. And as i don't tumblr or blog or anything, this won't be seen by many (if any)people so if you like it or think it's of any worth in any way, please do send this on however it is that it's done on this thing, thanks. Hope you like it.

101 Songs of 2011 (one per artist)
I didn't really search too far and wide for much music this year,so most of thesenames won't be too unfamiliar with folks, but i still listened to a fair amount and i'm sure thereare at least an artist/song or two that you don't know in here somewhere. These are just 101 songs of many more songs/artists i could have chose - i've gone back and forthdebating which tolist -but you gotta cap it somewhere. A lot of them i think are exceptional(fornumerous reasons), some of them just melodically pleasing that are just nice to know. Some songs/artists are in here ahead of others just to vary it. All in all i was going for a reasonably accessible list, so, er, that explains it i guess.
