LUH's album is indeed fantastic.
I haven't listened to Thee Oh Sees new one yet, which is very remiss of me.
You can't have Algiers in your list - their album was from 2015. :p
Blimey, first time I've read this thread for a while and you have named my favourite two albums of the moment (though I'd add Crystal Castles to make it three.)

It will have to wait a few days as I have had Blackstar on rotation today. Bloody Hell, I didn't in my wildest dreams expect to find it quite this entrancing.
This has, pretty much, always been my opinion.
My first seven albums were all by Bowie - Aladdin Sane was the first album I ever bought. I was 11, and remained a Bowie freak for a decade.
