Moonface - City Wrecker
83

Moonface is one of my favourite songwriters right now. Jagjaguwar can do no wrong.

Your Friend - Jekyll / Hyde
83

Only wish this little gem of an EP was longer. The vocals give me chills.

Run The Jewels - Run The Jewels 2
83

Didn't think they could top their debut effort but RTJ2 throws down the gauntlet. Beats and rhymes are just unbelievable.

Perfume Genius - Too Bright
83

Really special, strange, powerful pop music. I can see myself revisiting this again from time to time.

Lowell - We Loved Her Dearly
84

LGBT is an incredible track. The whole album is pretty damn good in fact.

Lia Ices - Ices
84

Not sure what genre this is but the vibe is infectious.

Jessie Ware - Tough Love
84

Slightly less engaging than Devotion but charming all the same.

Big K.R.I.T. - Cadillactica
85

K.R.I.T.'s best album to date. King of the South!

Alvvays - Alvvays
85

There's something really fun about this hometown band. Great debut.

SZA - Z
85

Lush soundscapes and a gorgeous voice. SZA should be bigger than she is.

Marissa Nadler - July
85

Another Sacred Bones gem. Nerd alert: I'm really digging the album design on a number of their releases last year.

Damien Rice - My Favourite Faded Fantasy
85

Fantastic comeback album from one of my all-time favourite folk singers.

J. Cole - 2014 Forest Hills Drive
86

I wanted to love J. Cole but I always came away a little disappointed. Forest Hills Drive changes everything. Concise and consistent on this LP, I can now consider him one of the best story-telling MCs in the game.

Chet Faker - Built On Glass
86

This guy isn't faking it. Blends a whole bunch of genres and creates something gorgeous. Those horns on "Talk Is Cheap" though!

86

Classic shoe-gazy sound. Sacred Bones had quite the year!

BANKS - Goddess
86

Deluxe version was a little too long but I'm not mad. Dark, moody R&B at its finest.

PARTYNEXTDOOR - PARTYNEXTDOOR TWO
86

Significantly better than his last project. I get that the auto-tune is a turn off for a lot of people but for me it compliments Party's slowed down, hazy production. Perfect summer driving music.

Modern Vices - Modern Vices
87

Got lucky with this find. Great debut!

FKA twigs - LP1
88

Is it F-K-A or FUCKA Twigs? Don't even care. Her music is otherworldly. Weird, lush, beautiful.
