We're a quarter into 2023 with many great albums already released. What are your top 5 so far? Don't dig or contemplate too much. Save that for the year end.
Mine: 1. Witch Ripper - the Flight After the Fall 2. Plank! - Future of the Sea 3. Atsuko Chiba - Water, It Feels Like It's Growing 4. Siena Root - Revelation 5. Zopp - Dominion

You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

Solstice would probably be #2 for me but I thought it was 2022?

Three in PA:
Kosmischer Läufer - Volume 5 (Progressive Electronic, Krautrock) Amoeba Split - Quiet Euphoria (Canterbury Sound) Zopp - Dominion (Canterbury Sound) The following two are not in PA, but still relevant I think. Marlene Ribeiro - Toquei no Sol (Neo-Psychedelia, Ambient Pop, Electroacoustic) Yo La Tengo - This Stupid World (Indie Rock/ Post Rock) Most anticipated in PA: Swans - The Beggar (June 23, 2023) and Susanne Sundfør - Blómi (April, 28, 2023).

prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

The Light album is really interesting, never heard anything quite like it. Also glad I'm not the only one enjoying the Atsuko Chiba.

I feel like it's been an exceptionally strong year already, especially compared to last year. Off the top of my head I'd go for, in no particular order:
But right on their heels I have:
That Rain album in particular really needs some more ears on it IMO. To me they come across sort of like the UK's answer to Echolyn - nothing particularly showy on the surface, but there's real depth to the songwriting if you're willing to put the time in with it. |
