The reliable musical sage that is Johnny Feeney, steps up on this soapbox to share his favourite records from 2015.
Johnny’s guest posts are always insightful, interesting and always add an extra flavour the blog and I look forward to reading them – surely I’m not alone?
A massive thanks to Johnny for taking time out to write this up, and on that note, I’ll leave you with his 25 albums of 2015……
25. Grimes – ‘Art Angels’
24. Floating Points – ‘Elaenia’
23. Public Service Broadcasting – ‘The Race For Space’
22. EL VY – ‘Return To The Moon’
21. Julia Holter – ‘Have You In My Wilderness’
20. Girl Band – ‘Holding Hands With Jamie’
19. Trembling Bells – ‘The Sovereign Self’
18. Courtney Barnett – ‘Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit’
17. Stealing Sheep – ‘Not Real’
16. Nadine Shah – ‘Fast Food’
15. C Duncan – ‘Architect’
Glaswegian Christopher Duncan’s Mercury-nominated debut album is a beautiful piece of dreamy, baroque chamber pop, heavily layered with more than a hint of Grizzly Bear about it.
14. Unknown Multi Orchestra – ‘Multi-Love’
The Auckland/Portland band’s fantastic third album chronicles a soured polyamorous relationship. A lovely lo-fi record full of psychedelic grooves and some of the sleaziest, funkiest guitar lines you’ll hear this year.
