Yes, it will be released on both vinyl and cd in 2017! We are on the same label as Wobbler now.

Well it's very Prog Folk in my book, have they been considered for adding to PA?

Toby Driver - Madonnawhore was excellent surprise this year, must listen!!
Truly it is!

Since my last visit to this thread was around March, I gotta add these:

Cormorant - Diaspora (early Opeth meets Wolves In The Throne Room, FANTASTIC!)
Cobalt Blue - Stop Momentum (A Brazilian The Mars Volta, just brilliant!)
Vin De Mia Trix - Palimpsests (amazing 100-minutes-4-tracks-long Prog Doom)
Richard Dawson - Peasant (if you like Espers and Comus, you'll love this)
Grizzly Bear - Painted Ruins (an Electronic/Folk band with a lot of Prog leanings)
Anubis - The Second Hand (Australian Neo-Prog)
Elder - Reflections of a Floating World (fellow stoners-turning-proggers)
Tim Bowness - Lost In The Ghost Light (really mellow Art Rock record)

and one more vote down for this disappointly weak and directionless Discipline album

Good year for ambient, with that Mono No Aware sampler, Gas' Narkopop, Kyo's I Musik, and Ryuichi Sakamoto's async. I also hear good things about The Caretaker's new album. 

Close to that is the ambient pop/minimal techno self-titled debut by Kelly Lee Owens. Like the more minimal moments of Kid A meets Grouper. 

Also, some obvious, acclaimed albums such as Fleet Foxes' Crack Up, Kendrick Lamar's DAMN., and Sampha's Process. 

Fans of contemporary jazz, minimalism, and/or Southeast Asian classical music should enjoy Sagaara's 2, an amalgamation of all these things.

Other neat records include the noise- math- art- punk of Kiko Dinucci's Cortes Curtos. Strangely reminiscent of Naked City. Also, for those open to infectious and well-produced electropop, Suiyoubi no Campanella's Superman is a real treat. 

There are a couple tamer indie folk releases that surprised me with how enjoyable they were this year, such as Julie Byrne's Not Even Happiness and Jesca Hoop's Memories Are Now. 

Also, Priests made some fun post-punk in Nothing Feels Natural.

One of my favourites of the year so far. I've become a bit of a Waclaw Zimpel fanboy. His solo album Lines is great too.

Interesting release from Bolivian avant-prog outfit Enfant just put out on CD by RAIG:


Haven't had time for a proper listen yet but I think I'm gonna dig it.

I hear the Anglagard influence, but one of the things I like about the album is that there's a great deal more 'breathing space' in the compostions than the kind of relentless intensity you get with Anglagard. The vibe here is often mellower, in this regard a bit reminiscent of the first Ragnarok album. But I don't want to be overly reductive of the music to a set of influences - I do think it has its own identity. There is really hardly any contemporary prog in the 'symph' mould that I dig, but I like this and will buy the CD when it comes out.

A few weeks late on this one, but new Unreal City is good: https://unrealcityprogband.bandcamp.com/album/frammenti-notturni

By shortly, I thought you meant a week or something. Unhappy
If it's as good as their first it'll definitely be one of my favorites this year.

Yes! This album really impressed me, top notch stuff! I just couldn't stop listening to it when I got it, we are currently on a break though. For now it's my no.1 too.

Oh yeah prog rock's answer to Chinese Democracy. 

'It will be out by the end of the year'
'2013 is the year Infernal hits the street'
'We are in the process of finishing up the album and it will be available shortly'
'Infernal will be released later in the year (2014)'
'Finished the album now it just needs to be mixed'
'2015 is the year Infernal will see the light of day'
'It will be released late 2016 early 2017'

The saga continues. I am personally hoping for a 2032 release.

I thought last year was a good year in music, but 2017 is shaping up to be pretty solid (and eclectic), too!  Other than my #1 spot, I couldn't tell you where the rest of my favorite albums from this year fall.  

1. Elder - Reflections of a Floating World

Amplifier - Trippin' with Dr. Faustus
Death From Above - Outrage! Is Now
Logic - Everybody
Mastodon - Emperor of Sand
Mastodon - Cold Dark Place EP
David Bowie - No Plan EP
King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard - Sketches of Brunswick East
The Tangent - The Slow Rust of Forgotten Machinery
Steven Wilson - To The Bone
Nine Inch Nails - Add Violence EP
Queens of the Stone Age - Villains
Prophets of Rage - s/t
Sleep - The Clarity (just one song, but at almost 10 minutes, it's like an EP)

I think that's it, for now.  I'm still waiting to hear the new Wobbler album, a new Amplifier EP due in December and also maybe a new Sleep album, so there may be more added later, but this is looking like the bulk of this year's favorites.
