2018 Albums You're Digging

~~MicShazam~~ · 08-20-2018, 01:49 PM

Domenico Lancellotti - The Good Is a Big God
Anne-Marie - Speak Your Mind
Alela Diane - Cusp

^My favorites of the year so far. I need to listen to all the 7 or so 2018 albums I have a lot more though. I've mostly focused on slightly older albums this year. Am aiming to change that and get up to date a little more for the rest of the year.

Hermit and the Recluse - Orpheus Vs. The Sirens

Concept album about Greek mythology. Ka on the mic weaving esoteric and dense bars while Animoss hits it with some understated and nautical production. Lyrically it's a lot to unpack and like everything else I've heard from Ka, it just gets more rewarding the more I listen to it.

My updated 2018 AOTY:

공중도둑 [Mid-Air Thief] - 무너지기 (South Korea, Neo-Psychedelia / Folktronica / Psychedelic Pop)

Not only touches of Animal Collective but a strong Kishi Bashi feel in parts, too. And of course there's a strong Hundred Waters element present, but what I love about this album is the fact that something that's not **** K-Pop has come out of South Korea. What a relief!

Alghazanth - Eight Coffin Nails

This is the Finnish Symphonic Black Metallers final album they're splitting up.

And it's a great one to go out on.

Halo Maud - Je Suis Une Ile

One of the absolute front runners of 2018 for me thus far.

La Mecánica Popular - Rosa Cruz (2018)

La Mecánica Popular - Rosa Cruz

Psychedelic salsa for the soul.

Listening now. Sounds pretty cool but could do without the English.
