Needles & Grooves AoTM /// Vol. 19 - January 2021 /// Tim Hecker - Radio Amor

My guess is Radiohead - The King of Limbs. I don’t buy that “artist” refers to a solo artist. I’d call Radiohead an artist, they’re electronic adjacent (that album certainly is), it came out in the 1997-2011 window. I don’t participate in video clues so that’s all I have.

TKOL is underrated, and dukey did recently list In Rainbows as her favorite album in the Top 50 albums thread 🤔

It's a fantastic and overlooked album of theirs. I kind of rotate between that, In Rainbows and Kid A as my favorite Radiohead album. That's right OK Computer ain't even in my top THREE, come and fight me.
 
I'm trying to come up with a guess but @duke86fan has thoroughly befuddled me. has anyone guess the self-titled debut of the xx? I noticed dukey had Jamie XX in the top 50 list... and it was never specified what was meant by the artist is on the list, but the album isn't; I took that to mean maybe it is an album by a group an artist on the list was part of

but - I might also be overthinking this 🤪

dont worry.. the hints do explain many things...

an idea that could help is maybe to think in multiple hints... try to find a connection between something like (and this is entirely random i am not saying this is the answer) the Xmen character, Drake and Josh, and Wrestling
 
I keep coming back to Caribou damn it. That azure blue is the exact same color as the cover of his newest LP "suddenly". But yeah, I know, not in play anymore.
