I always feel self-conscious about music lists. There’s so much released every year and I never feel as if I’ve listened to enough. And you need to take time with albums to truly form an opinion.

1. Fetch the Bolt Cutters- Fiona Apple
2. Set My Heart On Fire Immediately- Perfume Genius
3. Saint Cloud- Waxahatchee
4. Descendants of Cain- Ka
5. It Is What It Is- Thunder Cat
6. Heaven To A Tortured Mind- Yves Tumor
7. Ungodly Hour- Chloe and Halle
8. Run the Jewels 4- Run the Jewels
9. It Was Good Until It Wasn’t- Kelanie
10. Grae- Moses Sumney

Manic-Halsey/The New Abnomal-The Strokes
