Album of the year 2021
2021 Brought me a variety of reasons, some personal, some less so, not to write new blog posts. In fact, my website has received no updates whatsoever since last January. It does not receive a lot of traffic usually, so if you were expecting something, my apologies. I was even contemplating skipping my usual year end's lists for a moment. Musically, 2021 was not that interesting to me. Despite some interesting finds, after my top 6 albums it quickly gets into OK-ish territory. I've discovered a lot of fun records, notably including two Dutch acts Goldband and Altin Gün, but nothing that really blew my socks off. Forcefully narrowing it down to 10, I arrive at the following list.
- Kunzite - VISUALS
- Wardruna - Kvitravn
- Converge & Chelsea Wolfe - Bloodmoon I
- Aesop Rock & Blockhead - Garbology
- The Lazy Eyes - EP2
- La Femme - Paradigmes
- Floating Points & Pharoah Sanders - Promises
- Mastodon - Hushed and Grim
- Sebastian Plano - Save Me Not
- Nubiyan Twist - Freedom Fables
