Chorus.fm Members EOTY Lists 2017 • Page 13

Imma fight u because a handful of those we’ve texted about extensively and u still haven’t listened (don’t point out all the shit I haven’t listened to you’ve recommended me, thank u)

 

Hah some things I have synced to catch up to. Others I don't remember you mentioning. Anything on there you think is particularly in my wheelhouse?

I may have caught him on the wrong day, in the wrong mood, at the wrong distance from the stage, but he sounded like someone murdering a humpback whale and I was not about it. Still going to give the album a shot.

 

Easy ones would be Smino, Daniel Caesar and KAMAU to start. I honestly don’t think you’ll like Moses but it’s worth a shot bc it’s incredible

 

I've heard nothing but good about that Caesar album.

 

Also everyone should listen to this he deserves more love

 

I played Moses for the first time earlier, very interesting record. Everybody listen to that Smino, I feel like he's very underlooked right now but so hugely talented.

Listened to the Charly Bliss record for the first time in my way to work. I dig it. Serious riffs

 

that record's in a weird spot to me, i have no interest in listening to it right now because of how cold it is and i don't want that to bias how much i like it in list placement haha

 

In no real order

Lorde - Melodrama
Girl Pool - Powerplant
Julien Baker - Turn Out The lights
Phoebe Bridgers - Stranger in the Alps

Japanese Breakfast - Soft Sound from Another Planet
Sheer Mag - Need to Feel Your Love
Sløtface - Try Not to Freak Out
Pumarosa - The Witch
Bully - Losing

 

Yeah it’s certainly less suited for 20 degree weather, but alas

 

Ah, fuck, Bedwetter came out this year didn't it?

 

It did. I’ve only gone back to “Stoop Lights”. It’s a difficult listen

 

Yeah I didn't play it often but it was an incredible listen. It was deleted from my iTunes for some reason
