Parannoul's To See The Next Part of The Dream

I linked it in case you use Spotify. This is shoegaze from a guy in South Korea who keeps anonymous, as far as I know.

Spotify: Favorite EPs & Favorite Songs

@Rip_City has a list....
I really, really like Jane Weaver's new album Flock, and I wouldn't sleep on L'rain's Fatigue. Currently spinning, The Solution is Restless from Joan as Police Woman, Tony Allen and David Okumu and it's really fabulous.

Top Three for me:
Amythyst Kiah - Wary + Strange
Reigning Sound - A Little More Time with Reigning Sound
The True Loves - Sunday Afternoon

Honorable Mention
Los Lobos - Native Sons

I think these will climb up the ranking after more listens
Neal Francis - In Plain Sight
Brandy Carlile - In These Silent Days

@nolalady Yes, still under construction! Probably need to swap ~10 albums out and some rearranging within tiers.
I don't want to spoil my top50 at the moment, but Arooj Aftab - Vulture Prince and Irreversible Entanglements - Open the Gates are not to be missed.
As Nola mentioned, Jane Weaver and L'Rain are also stellar and rank in my top50.

Floating PointsPharoah SandersThe London Symphony Orchestra - Promises might be my favorite album of the year. It's at least my most listened to out of anything new this year.
