2020 New Album Recommendations

[Whaleblue]

Surprised this wasn’t already a thread.

I’m hoping to get some more listening time this year myself, after moving and a whole load of associated distractions last year, so would really like to know what others are discovering through this year.

Nothing has really jumped out at me yet (which explains the thought for the thread), but this is something I’ve listened to a couple of times and from a genre on the periphery of my normal fare... re-imagined classical folk songs...

Bonny Light Horesman - Bonny Light Horsemen

(Perhaps try Magpie’s Nest as a taster)

 

[Peter McDermott]

Bonny Light Horesman - Bonny Light Horsemen

Thanks, listening to this now: Opening track hits the spot.

Not seen much yet this year and been catching up on those end of year lists and so on.

Just read a review of Joey Alexander's new album, Warna, which sounds good.

Someone beat me to it... Sam Lee with Old Wow
Aoife Scott, Homebird
and Seth Lakeman has a new one out on Friday which sounds promising.

A little descriptor with each recommendation,would really help the uninitiated navigate

I think the only 2020 album release I've bought this year is Craven Faults - Erratics And Unconformities.
I'd say it sits somehwere between Tangerine Dream and Pye Corner Audio, should that tickle your fancy.

I am more interested in the view of the person suggesting it. Like Guey did above.

No big deal, but thanks for your tips.

On bandcamp now. Reminds me of early Human League - the Dignity of Labour.

This is the best album release of 2020 so far.

Forgot to add the IMO

Ha! Weirdly, I pulled the 12 of that out a week or so back - hadn't listened to it in years.

An addition: the new Wire album turned up today.
The usual excellent angular songs, with oblique lyrics.
43 years in, and they're still making great, interesting records. I'm struggling to think of anyone else who's managed that.

I second the Wire album.
Also Storm Damage by Ben Watt.
