2020 albums you're digging

The Same Is Always Different by susana santos silva

Solo work from her crib during lockdown. Drone and noise on a trumpet and/or a flugelhorn. She’s highest tier unassailable and I like her best unaccompanied.

5/5

Sun Piano (Laraaji)

https://laraajimusic.bandcamp.com/

I like this guy so much. Not just his music but the way he presents it as well. So cool.

Joanna by Sevdaliza

A short and worthwhile art pop ep

A Slow Dance With Someone Who Is Leaving You by Nick Keeling

https://nickkeeling.bandcamp.com/alb...is-leaving-you

It’s kind of Satie if he was little tipsy and had been listening to ragtime (it’s not at all ragtime but it is has this upbeat tonality uncommon in this genre -neoclassical ambient - more traditionally tonal than typically ethereal) mixed with tape loops and analog recording hiss. The piano playing really progresses impressively as the piece continues. Very pleasantly coherent.

in nächster Nähe/ in weiter Ferne by Son of Buzzi

https://sonofbuzzi.bandcamp.com/albu...n-weiter-ferne

Really good American primitivism

Should appeal to fans of Basho and Fahey

To Feel Embraced by SPARKLE DIVISION

Granted this gets top priority by nature of what is but it’s definitely one of my faves of the year and maybe my AOTY of the year so far.

I really like 'Manic' by Halsey

HippoInAnApron · 08-27-2020, 06:16 AM

I’m really liking the new Alanis Morissette album, “Such Pretty Forks in the Road”

Forgotten City by Frode Gjerstad Trio + 1

Solid free jazz release

Eostar + Si tu lae vois, salue-lae • Léonie Risjeterre & Ross Heselton

https://soleilsbleus.bandcamp.com/al...alue-lae-sb022

This is a really special mix of field recordings of birds, American primitivism style guitar, and crooked avant-garde weirdness.

5/5
