Best Albums of 2015

jamiexx-1

Jamie XX IN COLOUR. Young Turks. Alternative/Electronic

The entire album is a joy to listen to from beginning to end. It’s accessible, yet alternative.”
“… it’s full of interesting genre crossing tracks  and the production is truly truly top class.”

miriamjones-1

Miriam Jones BETWEEN GREEN & GONE. Cadiz Music Ltd. Folk

“This fantastic collection of songs touches on raw human emotions, faith, love, longing.”
“…great heart felt songs that bring a man to tears…”

mew-12

Mew +-. [PIAS] Recordings. Indie, Lo-Fi, Rock

“This is a true return to form.”
“If effervescent, intelligent synth-centric music is your thing then do have a listen.”

rayland-1

Rayland Baxter IMAGINARY MAN. ATO Records. Country/Rock

“Great album by this hard-working singer/songwriter.”
“And I didn’t think he could top the last album…”

b-ghost-1

Brother/Ghost BURIED. Shelsmusic. Rock

“The second offering by Texan outfit Brother/Ghost, coming four years after their debut LP titled “Black Ice” is simply as fascinating as it is frightening.”
“There are more moments of promise and beauty than there are faults to ‘Buried’, and when it is really good, it is brilliant.”

barnett-1

Courtney Barnett SOMETIMES I SIT AND THINK, AND SOMETIMES I JUST SIT. Marathon Artists. Guitar Pop Rock

“…this is truly Australian rock at its best. There is no mistaking the country of origin from the laconic wit and delivery.”
“For fans of guitar pop/rock this really is going to be one of the best debuts this year will probably have.”

shubaly-11

Mishka Shubaly COWARD’S PATH. Invisible Hands Music. Blues Rock

“When you need an musical footprint of this unique and disturbing man, this is it. Every track counts. It has a style distinct from the start.”
“Author and singer-songwriter Mishka Shubaly is living proof that there is art after addiction.”

bohannons-1

Bohannons BLACK CROSS, BLACK SHIELD. This is American Music. Alternative Rock

“…a mix of Heavy Metal, Punk and Southern Rock, with some other styles and elements thrown into this brew.”
““Black Cross, Black Shield” shines as something of a gem.”

astrid-1

Astrid Williamson WE GO TO DREAM. One Little Indian. Folk

“…love this album and Astrid’s voice, it mixes genres in a way that totally hangs together as an album and/or individual songs in their own right”
“There is a golden warmth to these eleven numbers which burns through softly with a deeply meditative glow.”

wolf-1

Donovan Wolfington HOW TO TREAT THE ONES YOU LOVE. Proper W/S. Alternative Rock

“How to Treat the Ones You Love is the kind of album that defines whole nights, semesters, even years in listeners’ lives.”
“But perhaps most importantly, it’s the sound of a band growing up and learning how to face the inevitable.”
” It quickly moves from anxious and constrained to one of freedom. In short, it delivers.”
