Gimme some AOTY contenders I've not heard
Added 2024-12-11 11:49:46 +0000 UTCI want to get through some AOTY contenders before I do my list next week, and record them as vids for the Patreon.
There's only so much time so some might have to wait until after the list, but ideally I can get a couple in before the list.
I have been meaning to do Geordie Greep for ages, but lemme know what else I've missed out on.
Plan is to get a couple of these, plus another classic (radiohead again maybe?) done before xmas break.
My youngest has been off school the last few days so recording has been tricky but we'll get it done.
Cheers!
Jon

2025-01-12 18:06:44 +0000 UTCravyn lenae - bird's eye! just a beautiful album that will surely shift the alt r&b/pop scene. 0 grammy nods is a shame, the album is very close to perfect imo

2024-12-14 15:02:59 +0000 UTCRICHAXXHAITIAN by Mach Hommy has gotten so many plays by me, literally one of the best albums I’ve heard in quite some time great production and the bars are insane

2024-12-13 15:12:00 +0000 UTCI was hoping I wouldn’t be the odd ball out hoping for TTPD but GNX is a very close second for me!
Amanda Arford
2024-12-12 22:18:34 +0000 UTCFlwr Chyld & Grimm Lynn - Cafe Noir. Really concise, one of the best dance/soul/RnB albums this year. Flwr chyld in general is just one of the best artists in his lane

2024-12-12 19:32:31 +0000 UTCCan you check out the new Cordae album - The Crossroads? Lots of Kanye influence. I think you’d like it

2024-12-12 10:09:05 +0000 UTCAgreed. I hate categorising things as IDM but it’s a relatively acceptable description given that usually the genre listeners of things like that wouldn’t produce dance albums, for me Cascade is a blend of the two in a perfect way.
Decomp
2024-12-12 08:46:44 +0000 UTCAbsolutely. I wouldn’t call it the exact essence of mainstream, but it’s certainly a widely listenable dance album that is fresh and creative, worth listening to

2024-12-11 20:17:18 +0000 UTCDefinitely don't need to be into IDM (vague genre that it is anyway) to love Floating Points/Cascade...it's a sunglasses-on album if ever I heard one.
