I have seen this listed a lot by different people. Going to give it a spin.

 

What did you think? 

I have decided to move Petite Noir's 'The King of Anxiety' from my top ten and replace it with Lizzo's record 'Big Grrrl Small World' because I forget that it's actually an EP and not a full record and doesn't count. It is still lovely, though, and everybody should buy it.

It was decent and I will listen to it again but I think it will take a couple more listens to see if I really like it. The most appealing thing about it was that it's not like anything else I've been listening to from this year.

I didn't listen to enough new music this year to really even manage a top-3 but:

Plini - The End of Everything (an EP really) and

CHON - Grow

Haven't really listened to these enough, but pretty-cool-worth-a-look at least, stretching it to 5:

Ludovico Einaudi - Elements

The Aristocrats - Tres Caballeros

Tricot - A N D
