This is a good, mostly overlooked album. It's mostly great instrumental tracks, some songs are colloborations with artists like Sufjan Stevens or Mouse on Mars.

The new album from indie pop British trio, London Grammar is a cut above the rest for me this week and will likely land in my top 40 albums of 2021 by the time December rolls around. 'Californian Soil', the band's third LP, is exquisitely produced and Hannah Reid's airy vocals are as soothing as they are gripping. Sonically it's a plush electronic pop fizzing with chill beats and strings that swells sound spaces. A record of sheer beauty ❤ if I do say so myself.

Caoilfhionn Rose (Truly) (Folk / Jazz/ Soul/ Ambient/ Electronica) is a pretty good album, feels very intimate and dreamy

Concur. Likely a spot on my Q2 update.

I'm enjoying this album from French female singer Francoiz Breut. French moody and melancholic Chanson pop, very intimate, with some electronic/new wave influences. Some wonderful melodies and songs here.

Francoiz Breut "Flux flou de la foule"

Wow!

London Grammar performs Californian Soil in its entirety
Such a beautiful performance and spiritual experience I encourage you all to watch it ❤

Kiwi Jr. - Cooler Returns is my favorite album of the year so far. I need to listen to a few more new releases to make a list, but I know that's my favorite as of now. It's like a Pavement regen.

@Bluecloud777 came through with some recommendations today that are absolutely stellar. And now my work day has a much better soundtrack.

I've liked listening to this album.
MICROCORPS "XMIT". It's some kind of dark electronics album, futuristic experimental soundscapes, some techno and noises. Some tracks are instrumental, some with spoken word. Lots of atmosphere.

I’ve been loving the new Kero Kero Bonito EP and the new Porter Robinson album is great as well

Its everything I love about Mars Volta.
How this never saw the light of day is beyond me.

This is very likely to be in my 2021 Top 10 on Dec. 31.

It's so good. Among my favorites so far too. Fellow Canadians as well.

Porter Robinson's long-awaited sophomore album is great indeed
