Clearly I need an auxiliary list of favorite album.
for instance Kacey Musgraves's "Deeper Well" really does transport you to wonderous place and likely her best album to date. Just perfectly crafted and should I ever stumble into a Target I would buy it on CD.
I'm looking at my Bandcamp wish iist on it are Aaron Frazer, Underworld, Thee Scared Souls, Humdrum, Thee Heart Tones, Dee C. Lee, Kneecap and Stetsasonic all releasing albums I thoroughly enjoyed listening to. Add to that Pearl Jam, Michael Kiwanuka, Liam Bailey, The Decemberists, Kate Pierson, Confidence Man, Gruff Rhys, Bill Ryder-Jones, Kim Gordon, and many many etcs.
Basically it was like always a great year for many new albums and get me started on stuff I've yet to checkout..
