• Plaid - Bet Nat

Plaid has been getting better and better in recent years but this release was underwhelming. Sounds unfinished, pretty Plaid melodies lacking.

On topic: Grouper - Paradise Valley. Technically 2016 tho (21 december).

That's one for the 2016 thread indeed.

• Arms and Sleepers - Life Is Everywhere

Timber Timbre - Sincerely, Future Pollution will be released April 7, 2017

[clocolan]

This is technically a 2016 release but right on the cusp of 2017 and so deserving of an honorable mention:
