Rolling Stone already have their year end album list up ๐คฃ The season has begun.
so do Uncut, NME, and a couple other major ones IIRC. whenever The Wire comes out next week, it will probably be releasing its year-end list too, right? or do they wait 'til the January issue since their deadline for submitting lists is mid-November?
I'm still finding cool stuff trickling in, everyone who liked that Roly Porter album from this year should check out his collaboration on the new Shapednoise EP here
This is really a year marked by older artist returning to form. David Bowie gave us his best album in 36 years and Leonard Cohen his best in the last 24 and they ended their legendary careers on such a high note.
Radiohead returned to their best after one mildly dissapointing album and Nick Cave gave us possibly his best album ever.

Not as old, but we can't forget about Tribe either, or even The Avalanches.

Artists with a 20+-long career who have issued at least good records this year imo:
Nick Cave
Mr Fingers
Rhys Chatham
Kozelek
Bonnie 'Prince' Billy (the one with Bitchin Bajas, not the solo one that's meh)
Deux filles
Oval
Radiohead
Plaid (they were Black Dog once so they count).
Silver Apples
And Also the Trees
Tindersticks
Wadada Leo Smith
Half Japanese
Hope Sandoval
Beth Orton (only just 20 years of career I think)
Teenage Fanclub
PJ Harvey
and certainly more, haven't heard the Cohen yet. Not a fan of the Bowie tbh.

Also, Paste put their album list up. Pretty decent. I'm honestly more interested in the year end song lists this year.. I felt like this year was far stronger for albums than singles. _________________ Doubles & Conch
