Dreadnought - Bridging Realms (2015)
Like if
Camel and
The Cure had a black metal baby with a bizarre post-rock fixation. A mindblowingly good record by any genre standards and will definitely make my end of the year list.
George Michael - Older (1996)
Been on a GM kick lately (mostly his first three solo outings), and this one is definitely a cut above most of the R&B stuff that was coming out in the late 90's. The upbeat material is catchy as hell and the more thoughtful material has a great jazzy sensibility with even some bossa nova thrown in here and there. Underrated.
