And here's the list of lists aggregate album of the year http://www.albumoftheyear.org/list/summary/2016/

I haven't heard it but have a fan been since she played TGE in 2013 so will get on it tomorrow. I remember being impressed and intrigued by this show in equal measure - http://brightonnoise.co.uk/live-review/?p=105629

Wire magazine's Top 50 http://yearendlists.com/2016/12/the-wire-top-50-releases-of-2016/

Shiiiiiiit. The Danny Brown album is really good. The instrumentation and production are really inventive. http://www.metacritic.com/music/atrocity-exhibition/danny-brown Released on Warp, if that whets any appetites.

I see Pitchfork have joined the party - http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/22493-adieux-au-dancefloor/ & http://pitchfork.com/features/lists-and-guides/9990-the-20-best-electronic-albums-of-2016/ I'm trying to book her to play Brighton soon. Watch this space. A few vocal gremlins early on but...

I didn't even know Marie Davidson has recently released another album, it's her best yet 'Adieux Au Dancefloor' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WnmLy0twS4o Gives me an excuse to roll out this absolute banger from last year (2015) as well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VUuYSSvusE

Nice to see Brighton's own Kemper Norton in there at 40. Always had a lot of time for him but the new record is a real step up in concept and execution. Which reminds me, I'll get a list up of some of the more underground Brighton stuff this year soon. Really, really good year off the top of my...

Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith's 'Ears,' has quite deservedly got a lot of end of year praise. However, fans of ambient/ found sound gear will really get on with the album she has done with Suzanne Ciani as vol. 13 of RVNG Intl's amazing series of collaborations. Might even better Sun Araw/ The Congos...

It sure is a sound world all of his own again.

Yeah could be worth a revisit, I remember filing it away to come back to and not really doing it. There's something about Stott's stuff that seems to suit cold and dark for me. Summer music it isn't.

I like this 'ere list - http://look.shipinthewoods.com/ Did anyone else dig the new Andy Stott record? It was quite a departure from 'Faith In Stangers,' which if I recall was my AOTY in 2014. Giving it another spin now and it's sounding promising https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_cAZeTeYx0

Just for the record, I think I'm in the middle. I was fine with Grinderman, not so cool when the mid-life crisis spilt into Bad Seeds on Dig Lazarus Dig (it was ok...) and Bunny Munro is a bloody embarrassment. As time has gone on Skeleton Tree hasn't become quite the go to record I though it...

The Road is the one that I was trying to recall but couldn't remember it. Cracking piece of work.

Have you listened to any of Ellis and Cave's soundtrack work? It's very much in the vein of that. If you're liking the sparse instrumentation of Skeleton Tree, I guarantee you, it'll be up your street.

Loving Fanny Kaplan's stuff from Theatre of Trees list, as I'm sure anyone who likes a bit of frazzled, rough round the edges post-punk will do.

Generation snowflake.

That Carla Del Forno album is excellent Theatre of Trees.

The Cate Le Bon record is shooting up my list. I deliberately avoided it earlier in the year as her gig in Brighton clashed with something I was putting on and I didn't really remember to come back to it that much. Going to give that Drinks album from last year (CLB & Tim Pressley (White...

Always look forward to Theatre of Trees effort. The Katie Gately record is indeed a cracker. A few new ones on me, Exploded View sounds cracking.

That's a fair call. The highs are very high and I've got a soft spot for 'It's a Good Thing' toward the end of the record but yeah, you're right. Historically they've always needed to edit a bit more brutally.
