2019 albums

[Fischman]

This turned out to be even better than I hoped. Hackett is still a master.

I found out yesterday that Saor released a new album last week. Great atmospheric black metal with tinges of Celtic folk, though I found the Celtic folk was a lot more subtle than on 2014's Aura. Still a great listen for a cold snowy day though.


Forgotten Paths by Saor

A big thanks to LedZep for sharing this one.



Lotus by Soen

This one also surprised me that this group continues to put out such high quality material at this point.

i've been really into the new allison miller record, no doubt her group's strongest work to date but also just an incredible record. it's a bit on the eccentric side and is one of the odd jazz records featuring violin as a prominent lead instrument. the rhythms jump all over the map without really losing any sense of cohesion, and the group plays so well together. i'm having a hard time finding anything i don't like about the album.


Glitter Wolf by Allison Miller's Boom Tic Boom

i generally avoid letting jazz records slide into my yearly charts, but i really couldn't resist topping my 2019 off with this.

Probably Flotsam and Jetsam's best since 1995's Drift.

[Fischman]

This is the Dream Theater album I've been waiting for since, well, probably the '90s.

I don't know if this is mentioned but later in 2019 both Amon Toblin and Tim Hecker will be releasing music.
