Yay! I always look forward to your end-of-year lists.
I thought it was going to be wall-to-wall Shit & Shine, until Keith Berry took over. The Bardo and Part Chimp records are both very good.
Album of the year by a mile IMO: Lankum - Between the Earth and Sky Also well worth hearing: Forest Swords - Compassion Chastity Belt - I Used To Spend So Much Time Alone Out Lines - Conflats Astrid & Rachel Grimes - Through The Sparkle Blue Aeroplanes - Welcome! Stranger The AMOR singles on Night School Gunn-Truscinski Duo - Bay Head Band Of Holy Joy have been churning music out at a prodigious rate for the last couple of years, and the last of the five 2CD sets by which they funded the new album sneaks into 2017, so I'll have that as well. I actually prefer the 2CD sets to the 'proper' album, as they're stuffed with a vast amount of music and littered with unexpected gems.
Favourite shows: July Skies, Blue Aeroplanes, Steve Gunn, Lankum (x2), Kraftwerk plus Xylouris White/Ex-Easter Island Head/The Space Lady/Casual Nun - Supersonic
Both July Skies and Ex-EIH sets were hold-your-breath-for-40-mins good.
