Best albums of 2019... so far

[MotelBlues]

I love the Delines record - but didn't realise it was from this year! I looked it up after reading an interview with the singer from the Unthanks and have kept coming back to it. It reminds me of records I adored in the late 70s / early 80s from Charlie Gillet's Radio London show

If you haven’t already heard it, their debut “Colfax” is also fantastic. At the risk of mentioning the blindingly obvious, you might enjoy the music of Richmond Fontaine as well, as both bands share a songwriter.

Durant Jones and the Indications

This. For anyone searching it's Durand Jones. If you like 70s soul this is one not to miss

In a similar vein is Lee Fields new lp It Rains Love

 

[david ellwood]

Billy eilish is great but rough on the neighbours.

I will definitely check out The Delines, right within my taste orbit.

Obviously it's a choice between Stella Donnelly and Billie Eilish.

I chose the Billie Ellish, and ordered the CD from Dodax last night

Rustin Man - Drift Code.

Thanks for the recommendations above for the Delines album, it's a cracker. I get the Charlie Gillett reference, I listened every week in the 70s and learned the musical values that still influence me now. The Delines reminds me of Dusty In Memphis and Ann Peebles.

 

[gassor]

Julia Jacklin, Weyes Blood and Billie Eilish and add in The Delines and The Black Lillies. Very impressed by Yola also.

I echo that 100% - a really excellent album.

Enjoying Jenny Lewis - On The Line. I didn't know there was a new Edwyn Collins album, now on order.

Yes the Jenny Lewis album is great. It is a grower too. At first I didn’t think it stood up to ‘Rabit Skin Coat’ but having had it on constantly for three weeks I prefer it.

Latest contender for me: “Gece” by Altin Gun. Tremendous.

"Life Metal" by Sunn O)))

Delines for me too, bought it after hearing it playing in Rough Trade a while back. Getting played a lot, as is Edwyn's BADBEA. Will also recommend Callum Easter " Here or Nowhere" https://callumeaster.bandcamp.com/
