Your favorite 2017 albums/songs so far? (translated from cobblerese)

[cobl04]

Roughly the halfway point of the year so far. So name ya fav albums and songs so far. It’s been a weird year so far… nothing so far has blown me away, there’s a number of albums that I really like but they never seem to spend more than a few days in my head. But then in the second half of this year there’s going to be like 10 B&C favs releasing albums. Strange stuff. Opinions on 2k17 could be very different by the end of the year.

If I had to name my top five albums and songs right now, in order, it would probably be:

Los Campesinos! - Sick Scenes
Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever - The French Press
Kendrick Lamar - DAMN.
Freddie Gibbs - You Only Live 2wice
Sampha - Process

The National - The System Only Dreams in Total Darkness
Nana Rouges - Passionfruit
Sampha - No One Knows Me Like the Piano
Visible Cloaks - Terrazzo
Lorde - Green Light

 

[Diemen]

*looks at thread title*

Paging cori...

 

[Hewson]

Thread title should cause instant lock.

 

[cobl04]

ur all triggered LOL

 

[kabigon]

I couldn't understand the fuss over Royals, but Green Light has been stuck in my head for days. I rate it 42 out of 10.

 

[iron yuppie]

1. Arca: S/T
2. Kendrick: DAMN
3. Slowdive: S/T
4. Perfume Genius: No Shape

Other good ones:

Spoon: Hot Thoughts
Jlin: Black Origami
Jarvis Cocker & Chilly Gonzalez: Room 29
Goldfrapp: Silver Eye
Los Campesinos: Sick Scenes

 

[cobl04]

Black Origami is good, indeed.

I'd also like to see this thread used for recs; if you have heard something that you know another member here might enjoy, please say so!

Diemen has the power.

Save us. At least change the title.

 

[Mack_Again]

I liked the original title, tho......

 

[cobl04]

Now who the fuck changed my title! I'm furious

 

[Hewson]

Now who the fuck changed my title! I'm furious

Are you fast too?

 

[kabigon]

Fast and furious is just topgun with cars instead of planes

 

[Axver]

Geez, that title wasn't even peak Cobbler.

Anyway, this year hasn't really set my world alight yet. My favourite albums so far are:

Ali Barter - A Suitable Girl
The Bats - The Deep Set
Cloud Nothings - Life Without Sound
Dryjacket - For Posterity
Fazerdaze - Morningside (I'm surprised this place isn't all over her)
Marnie - Strange Words and Weird Wars
Pillorian - Obsidian Arc
Secret Shine - There Is Only Now
Sleepmakeswaves - Made of Breath Only
Slowdive - Slowdive
Tiny Deaths - Elegies
Ulver - The Assassination of Julius Caesar

Top songs:

Ali Barter - Light Them on Fire
Dryjacket - Misused Adrenaline
Deafcult - Rubix
Fazerdaze - Last to Sleep
Major Leagues - Good Love
Marnie - Alphabet Block
Me Not You - Kill the Noise
Methyl Ethel - Weeds Through the Rind
Slowdive - Sugar for the Pill (going to be hard to top this for song of the year)
Tiny Deaths - The Singularity
Ulver - So Falls the World

Can't wait for the Deafcult and Major Leagues albums to drop. Should be a good year for Aussie stuff in the end. Lowtide, Contrast, A Strange Day, and White Walls all have albums in the tank too, and I think Bloodhounds on My Trail are close.
