1. M83 - Fantasy
2. Lanterns on the Lake - Versions of Us
3. Sufjan Stevens - Javelin
4. Hector Gannet - The Land Belongs to Us
5. Slowdive - Everything is Alive
6. The Hives - The Death of Randy Fitzsimmons
7. Gabriel’s - Angels and Demons
8. Lana Del Rey - Did You Know There's A Tunnel Under Ocean Boulevard
 
Possibly my final weekly summary of the year but it's actually fortnightly anyway... I've been listening to:

Guided By Voices: Power pop, indie rock, cracking songs, great!
Psychedelic Porn Crumpets: the kind of psych rock that King Gizz used to do. Decent.
Trampolene: an extended re-release of their 2017 debut. A bit early Manics, some poetry, the Radio X session tracks added on rock like wet badgers.
Jonathan Rado: Foxygen man solo. Pretty good, sounds like a Foxygen album TBH.
The Still Brothers: an EP. Not our possible new manager and his siblings. Enjoyable, a little bit post-trip hop.
Raze Regal & White Denim: technically excellent, kind of enjoyable.
Pete Molinari: soulful, stylish Kentish singer-songwriter. Very good album of soulful, stylish pop.
Ghost Woman: doomy psych/garage rock. Very enjoyable.
Lawrence English/Werner Dafeldecker: two ambient pieces, interesting.
Kirk Barley: young looking ambient electronica type makes interesting electronica.
Harp: ex-Midlake man makes quite British folkie rock type stuff. Very good.
Peter Gabriel: Two different versions of the album. I like this a lot, I like Peter Gabriel. There, I've said it.
Lenhart Tapes: now this is proper good. Asian and eastern European vocals over proper grooves. Cracking.
Daniel Bachman: banjo, violin, sampling. Very Bachman, very good.

Album of the fortnight: I like Lenhart Tapes most.

If I was picking out three for 2023 I’d settle with…

Allison Russell - The Returner (had never heard of her before this thread mentioned this album, it’s gems like this that makes this place)

Young Fathers - Heavy Heavy (got a lot of likes here at the start of the year, but it wasn’t until I saw them on the Glastonbury coverage that it clicked for me)

Mitski - The Land is Inhospitable… (the bairns been playing this a lot which got me onto this album)
 
for me-
The Bathers- Sironesque - would say its up there with Moondance, an absolute work of art
Julie Byrne - The Greater Wings- bought on strength of review on here and in media- wow, superb.
The Bluebells - In the 21st Century- who'd have thought, I remained sceptical when read reviews, I was wrong.
