I'm liking this list a lot. I'm also a huge fan of everything Steven Wilson, Squid, Nick Cave, and Villagers.

Awesome chart. I’ve been low key watching it since the first week of the year. Some really interesting and intriguing recs here.

Smiling With No Teeth is slowly creeping up my list, the sort of album that seems to get better with each listen. Japanese Breakfast was an instant hit for me, who knows if it'll stay on top until the end of the year. Watch this space, as they say. ;)
