Julianna Barwick - Nepenthe
83

As someone who is by no means an expert in this genre, I imagine it would be really difficult to manage the pacing of an ambient record. Here with Nepenthe, Julianna Barwick does so much with only 41 minutes. She paints movements across songs, while giving each track a world to live in. The vocal layering and instrumentation are nothing short of gorgeous.

Some of the instrumentals were okay, but the songs don't develop into anything memorable, and Vince is just incredibly boring throughout. The lack of any real standouts (even one) really brings this album down for me.
