Top 10 Albums of 2016
So, as this was my first year as a new father, I didn't really have the time to listen to as much new music as I would've liked. What I did hear was whatever was played at work (I work at HMV) and whatever appealed to me I would pursue further. The two things that I did hear a lot of this year were: kid's music especially Raffi and the Hamilton OST because my wife is obsessed with it and we found that certain songs played on repeat calmed an otherwise fussy baby during long car trips.
These are the albums that I pursued further:
10. Junior Boys - Big Black Coat
9. James Blake - The Colour In Anything
8. case/lang/viers - S/T
7. White Lung - Paradise
6. Tim Hecker - Love Streams
5. Frightened Rabbit - Painting Of A Panic Attack
4. DIIV - Is The Is Are
3. July Talk - Touch
2. The Avalanches - Wildflower
1. Bon Iver - 22, A Million
I also liked: Angel Olsen, Childish Gambino, Jim James, Besnard Lakes, Bob Mould, Daughter, David Bowie, Kaytranda, Michael Kiwanuka, Radiohead, Ray LaMontagne and Warpaint.
