I'm loathe to mention much from the last two weeks but Bonnie Prince Billy may be up there for me and the Moor Mother album is very, very good indeed.
Uncut made Weyes Blood their album of the year, which surprised me a bit. Rough Trade have gone for Fontaines DC. Not seen any other end of year polls yet.
i got part way through the instrumental one and got bored...
The second half is defintely the better half.
