Favourite Albums of 2015 (so far)
Since we're over half way through the calendar year, I figured now would be as good of a time as any to discuss the best albums of the first half of 2015.
I put a list together of my top ten so far this year, and at the moment they are: Florence + The Machine - How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful Jamie xx - In Colour Father John Misty - I Love You, Honeybear Elvis Depressedly - New Alhambra Jme - Integrity> High On Fire - Luminiferous Vince Staples - Summertime ‘06 Death Grips - The Powers That B Kendrick Lamar - TPAB Sufjan Stevens - Carrie & Lowell What are some of yours?

Don't get to hear near as much music now that I'm employed. So much I still need to hear.
Top 10: Gaz Coombes Courtney Barnett Sleater-Kinney Sufjan Stevens Decemberists Kamasi Washington Django Django Faith no more Jim O' Rourke Chastity belt Dont get the Father John Misty love, album kind of bored me but maybe I should listen again. |

I'm slacking on the 2015 releases. My favorite stuff that I've heard:
Mount Eerie - Sauna Sun Kil Moon - Universal Themes Sufjan Stevens - Carrie and Lowell Death Grips - The Powers That B Earl Sweatshirt - I Don't Like ****, I Don't Go Outside Little Wings - Explains Big Blood - Double Days II The singles I've heard from the upcoming Chelsea Wolfe album is hinting towards her as my AOTY, along with the new Mount Eerie. The new Beach House single was pretty cool but I'll have to wait and see when the album drops if it's AOTY material. My high hopes for a Joanna Newsom comeback this year is pretty much dead. The new Tallest Man On Earth was alright. New Waxahatchee was alright. Wasn't as in love with the Kendrick album as everybody else, but I'm not much of a rap fan. New and unexpected Sharon Van Etten was cool. Yet to listen to the new Titus Andronicus. |

Some how that album completely slipped my mind, really great project.
One of the strongest rap albums of the year for sure, I think it was slept on a little bit because of it being released so close to TPAB. |
