Rachel Doyle hugging a pillow of my Albums of the Year 2019, a thread
Sharon Van Etten - Remind Me Tomorrow

Are We There? is a fave but this literally transcends it. Everything about it is a level up, including the synths on Jupiter 4 that John Congleton obvs likes bc they’re on Angel Olsen’s album too. Her gig in March was out of body
Solange - When I Get Home

“Where are the bops?” they scream, not knowing they are the furniture at the best party of the year. Soul is watered thanks
Billie Eilish - WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP WHERE DO WE GO?

What of it?
Jenny Lewis - On The Line

I only got into Mizz Lewis this year and wow I had a good time. Such a gorgeous, dusky collection of burnt out ditties. Listen to Red Bull and Hennessy for glowing skin
Tyler, the Creator - IGOR

I stuck this on out of interest and literally couldn’t stop listening from the first wall of synth porn to the last mournful sample. So lush. Sidebar: Rachel doesn’t deserve to hug this bc she only listens to the first 4 songs on repeat
Dorian Electra - Flamboyant

This album fucks and everyone needs to hear it. It blasts out of any speakers and they deserve worldwide fckn success. Man to Man is an actual modern classic
Shura - forevher

I’ve had a wild ride with Shura. Got into her, loved her, missed her at EP bc the 3 Made By Music stage doesn’t exist, saw her last week and met her! Much more sonically cohesive than her last and just a really cool n laid-back expression of love
Lana Del Rey - Norman Fucking Rockwell!

Everyone’s saying shit like she’s tapped into the American psyche and is one of the great modern American songwriters n maybe she is, at its core it’s just a lovely and well written album full of the best songs of her career. Kaijus won
Angel Olsen - All Mirrors

This is it, my Album of the Year probably! Angel only really clicked w me when this album came out and I’ve devoured her discography since then and I haven’t been as obsessed w an artist since like 2014. Lark blew my fckn head off and I thanked her
Caroline Polachek - PANG

Mad how all my absolute faves of the year came at the end. I just love the careful latticework of sounds, the truly unique aesthetic, the feeling of drifting in an ambient cloud punctuated by stabs of baroque and PC Music fuckery. An experience
FKA twigs - MAGDALENE

AGAIN an absolute fave by someone who’d never really clicked w me before my second listen of this album. It’s the exact type of strange and intimate deconstruction I love to hear at this time of year, and mary magdalene is a soty for sure
MUNA - Saves The World

All this album does is indulge in unhealthy coping mechanisms and grow on u. You’re like ok I think I’m done with this album- No bitch. It’s time to let another song hatecrime your feelings
Charli XCX - Charli

I wasn’t gonna include this bc there’s some bland filler padding it out (BIOYL, WM, SC) and it’s not as revelatory as Pop 2 but the last 30 seconds of Click banged me around until I put it on. Gone is top 5 songs of the year
