maybe

yeah it was pretty weak year for me overall (outside of that list). honestly I struggled to come up with that many. lol. some other decent albums though like Ariel's Mature Themes, Grizzly Bro's Shields, etc. I listened to a ton of rap this year

 

[Elemenno]

This year was a great year for rap music and quiet a bit of let downs when it came to indie, but there were still some good non rap releases.

10. Royal Baths - Better Luck Next Life

9. Tallest Man on Earth - There's No Leaving Now

8. Sam Flax - Age Waves

7. Holy Other - Held

6. Chromatics - Kill For Love

5. Mike Bruno & The Black Magic Family Band - The Willing of the Wisps

4. Upside Drown - Mood Music

3. How To Dress Well - Total Loss

2. Black Marble - A Different Arrangement

1. Dean Blunt and Inga Copeland - Black is Beautiful

Also some solid eps:

Lapalux - When You're Gone ep
Foxygen - Take the Kids Off Broadway
oOoOO - Our Loving is Hurting Us

 

[Nuttkase]

About the only album I have to add that hasn't been already mentioned is Merchandise - Children of Desire



New Grizzly Bear was probably my fav non rap releated album of the year along with that. Dean Blunt & Inga Copeland and Ariel's newest jawns were great too. I wish Dean and Inga still went by Hype Williams because I found that name hilarious for some reason but they probably would get sued at somepoint.

Been listening to a lot of King Krule lately but I think he only actually released a single this year?

 

[Nuttkase]

Death Grips stuff too of course.

[Elemenno]

Yeah King Krule just released a single this year and the A side was actually a re-recording of one of his songs he did as zoo kid.

 

[Dead Blue]

I agree, I bumped a ton of rap this year.

a few favorites came from some of the above mentioned and...

here comes a new challanger
chelsea grin
hearts & hands
memphis may fire
make me famous
we butter the bread with butter

biggest disappointment was the new pig destroyer. new in fear and faith. and the new BTBAM. maybe I haven't given them fair chances. or maybe they've progressed passed me.

 

[Fucky McFuckerson]

I cant even remember what the hell came out this year.

 

[Dhadnot]

off the top of my head but i been listening to more rap lately

TNGHT
GRizzly Bear
Holy Other
Flylo
