Is there a best albums of the year so far thread?

 

Nope! A staff feature about the best albums of 2019 so far will be published soon though

 

Oh nice that works too haha

 

Mess - Learning How to Talk is an incredible album.

 

i think American Football's album is at the top of the best album of 2019 (so far) for me.

 

yup, it could be my AOTY as well.. maybe blushing, i just dont find myself returning to that much at all haha.

 

The Copeland album isn't a "I feel like listening to some music while I clean" kind of album. It's a "sit alone in the dark and go on a journey" kind of album. I've listened to the Copeland one twice, and while I loved it, it's not one I can just go back to whenever I'm feeling like listening to something. There's a specific time and place I need to be for that kind of thing, haha, if that makes sense. But because of that, it's in my top 10 of 2019, for sure.

 

Seagulls is still near the top of my list and Telethon's Hard Pop just jumped up there too:

 

I agree blushing is a mood record but I fall asleep to Pope and On Your Worst Day every night soooo it’s still no. 1 for me.

 

Yeah that album makes me sleep too

Kidding. It’s good. I just never really am in the mood to listen to it

 

This is where I’m at, idk maybe I’ll come back around in the fall and winter

 

I mean, dusting your shelves and listening to blushing would definitely enhance the cleaning experience. I understand what you're saying though.

 

My favourite three albums of the first half of this year are Copeland, As Cities Burn and Sigrid. In no particular order at this point.

 

Very nice. Mine are The Maine, The Dangerous Summer, and The Story Changes.

 

Sharon Van Etten, Julia Jacklin and Charly Bliss for me. There’s been such a breadth of talent, as well as interesting records I keep coming back to

 

To my shame, I've not heard of any of these artists. Where should I start and why?!

 

I love Julia Jacklin, that’s a good place to start!

 

It’s so hard to keep up! Here’s one single from each artist that got me totally hooked

 

Thanks for taking your time to share these. Had a quick listen. The first two had similar vibes and I feel like I need to pay attention (currently at work). Charly Bliss sounded great - will have to check out that album.

 

For Sharon Van Etten, listen to Are We There first. You’ll know if her music is for you.

 

My favorites so far this year are Periphery, Baroness, and Defeater.

Still to come though: He Is Legend, Russian Circles, Jimmy Eat World, Norma Jean, and The Early November

This will be a great year.

 

I hope that the old usuals of this thread that I don’t get to talk to anymore are doing OK these days.
