Favorite albums of 2018

[hutch]

I am thinking about mine

So far I got

1. Yo La Tengo - There’s a riot going on
2. Arctic monkeys- Tranquility Base
3. Andres Calamaro - Cargar la suerte
4. Low - Double negative
5. Stephen Malkmus - Sparkle Hard
6. Iggy Pop and Underworld - Teatime dub encounters

You guys heard anything new (not reissues) that hit the spot?

Will update

[Space Freely]

THese were my favorites, as yet in no order. Im'm too lazy to type the name of the album, but will if the artist came out with more than one in 2018.

Phosphorescent
Shakey Graves
Willie Nelson (Last Man Standing)
Lucinda Williams & Charles Lloyd
Dr. Dog
Janelle Monae
Night Shop

I have to buy that Willie...I really like the Willie does Sinatra one but I just cannot put an album of standards in my top new albums

[bearman🐻]

Flasher
Bat Fangs
Interpol --Marauder
Dean Wareham and Cheval Sombre
Nothing -- Dance on the Blacktop
Superchunk

I have others but I'll have to go back and check what they are. It's been a long year...

Oh come on, most of these are highly regarded and oft-touted releases. There's only one two weirdo Asian records on there for chrissakes!

Is mitski that good? What is it like?


Thinking of buying it

She opened a show at Anthem this year but I did not see her

[Relaxer]

I love it. It's kind of a more indie/weirdo version of Lana Del Rey.

I love it. It's kind of a more indie/weirdo version of Lana Del Rey.

[Julian, Bespoke SEXPERT]

I love it. It's kind of a more indie/weirdo version of Lana Del Rey.

I missed her at Anthem opening for another act I saw. Thinking of going to her Richmond date in February EDIT: April.
