EGR45-00001 [EP] (2015)
3 brand new tracks released on the new label Elektron Grammofon - featuring artists using Elektron hardware from the Swedish manufacturer. First in the series, and strictly limited to 300 copies. Glad I was able to score one. Oh the music? Yeah these are really strong tracks - on the hard side for Plaid.

LP (2015)
Dark, minimal, and industrial techno. It's cold so it'll require more listens to fully absorb, but it works well while trying to get some work done - which is the only condition under which I've listened to it so far.
An Emergency -
Wrecked Angles (2008)
Quite mathy indie rock, featuring Dan Reeves of Cold Pumas and The Soft Walls.
Omi Palone -
Omi Palone (2014)
Really digging this UK indie rock album with post-punk undertones. Only problem is it's too short.
Thundercat - The Beyond / Where the Giants Roam [EP] (2015)
I haven't listened to his other releases but I heard one track from this that caught my attention. Only played once so far but it seems pretty cool.
AFX -
orphaned deejay selek 2006-08 [EP] (2015)
This is really good, I prefer it to
Syro and the
Computer Controlled... EP.
Mind Spiders -
Inhumanistic (2013)
I've had this in my queue for some time and after hearing a number of songs over and over and getting sick of them, I thought I'd finally give the whole album a spin and get it over with. It's pretty good garage punk, though I might have enjoyed it more if it was a fresh listen.
Spider Bags -
Frozen Letter (2014)
Ditto what I said for Mind Spiders.
Kelpe -
The Curved Line (2015)
Latest album from the UK wonky/downtempo/IDM producer making warm hip-hop influenced beats.
Drinks -
Hermits on Holiday (2015)
New collaboration album between Cate Le Bon and Tim Presley (White Fence) is experimental and psychedelic pop/rock with 60s influences. A few songs have stood out after my second listen, but some are tedious.
