James Blake - Trying Times
93

The best of all James Blake has ever been. The first half solidifies his singer songwriter cred as he delivers thoughtful lyrics wrapped up in atmospherically dense soundscapes. The second half plays more into his enigmatic producer side, with interesting sound changeups and intricate layering adding immense depth to the album. And of course, you get to hear James flex his impeccable vocals the whole way through. Easily my favorite James Blake album.

KIRINJI - Steppin' Out

Confident, well-paced, and catchy as heck. Great production too, it sounds slick and cutting edge. It's a poppier take on the jazz funk sound, and it has plenty of inspired moments that will delight.

RMP feels so well-thought out and also spontaneous at the same time. It has a leisurely pace that I would associate to a chill jam session, but in practice there are intricate, well-prepared layers. I also enjoy delving into the lyrics, the writing style is delicate and detailed, and the vocals just hit right. I haven't heard these guys before, so this feels like the most pleasant surprise hit of the year for me.

Anton de Bruin - Sounds of the Eclipse
76

This is pretty nice. It's the kind of music that you would stumble upon, maybe playing on a local cafe, and it grabs you in a way that makes you forget why you're there in the first place. 30 minutes just flew by. Technical and groovy instrumentations, with a good sense of pace.

Purity Ring - purity ring
77

First off, this album sounds exactly like how I expected, purely judging by the cover art. It has this ethereal, fantastical vibe to it that is quite lovely. It's probably the perfect album to play for stargazing at night. I did feel the itch for more dance-able, faster paced moments; the soundscape feels right for a round or two of DDR and the album didn't give me that. But the whole thing might grow on me later, as slower-paced albums tend to.
