This, frankly, is absolutely magnificent. When it gets going, holy shit....

Wow, this is really interesting.

Controversial statement round these parts maybe....

....but the new Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds album is very good.

Full credit to David Holmes, whose production work I always look out for.

Did you see Sleaford Mods quip about him today? I nearly spat my coffee out.

I saw him tonight, great show. Loved the new material - This Old Dog is in my top 10 for 2017.

I thought this album by A.M. Architect (on Deru's new label 79Ancestors) had some moments of beauty:

This UK artist known as "Sangam" releases a ridiculous amount of music each year. Gorgeous, melancholy ambient goodness:

My first 2 cents:

RRAREBEAR - 'Essence' has been one of my favorite new discoveries.

Good one thank you. I haven't had time to discover that much music this year, I've just been so busy.

On the last day of 2017 I found this... https://tree34z.bandcamp.com/album/ate

Apparently he's only 15.

Wow that's impressive.

Great sound at such a young age.
