Hey Oli, I had a question for you!
Recently I was thinking of my own journey through music and how my perspective has changed (and is still changing) on what it means to "like" an album. I've noticed that in the past, when I was less open-minded, whenever I dismissed an album outright, there was a certain mistrust of the artist at the back of my mind. Call it paranoia, but there was a little voice in my head that kept me from "giving in" to really exploring the album on my own. The voice was telling me that the album lacked integrity, or that the artist was covering up/hiding a lack of talent and that the album is a hack. The more "experimental" sounding the album was, the stronger this voice was!
If I gave those albums enough chances, there was a point where I crossed this trust barrier, and suddenly, everything that the artist has produced seemed to have changed meaning in my head. If I'd thought that the artist was "overrated" or a "hack" previously, I'd see the complete opposite! It was as if I'd flicked a switch in my brain and flipped every conclusion I'd made on its head and I started enjoying that artist much more!

How do you explain this phenomenon? Have you experienced something similar? Is there a word for this?

As always, great content, thank you for the hard work and effort you put in to each of your videos, I love your honest passion!

Minotaur Mangum

Apparently “bmbmbm” by black midi is actually pronounced phonetically how it is spelled. I spoke to the bassist Cameron after their show in San Francisco last month and the name of the song came up. When he said it I almost started laughing bc it sounded so ridiculous but when I asked about why it’s called that he replied “that’s how it sounds innit?” He’s a nice kid lol

pls granulate

it’s also because the the only chord is b minor (bm) plus bm can stand for black midi

Oliver, great list and video as always. How do you find the time to listen to so much music?

Between family, friends, work, and producing my own music I really struggle to dedicate time to listen to music.

I find Spotify (or you’re streaming service of choice) a blessing and a curse in this sense. I’d love to see a video around this topic.

Keep up the great work. Merry Xmas and Happy New Year.

Every now and then, I watch a deep cuts video and Oliver makes me aware of an artist or album I've never heard of, and I fall in love with said album or artist. It happened with Fennesz's amazing ambient masterpiece 'Venice' and thanks to this video's #1 pick, it's happened again, but stronger then ever before. I have come to utterly adore "Your Wilderness Revisited," it's easily one of my favorite albums of all time. Doyle's voice is heavenly, the production is unreal, each song just keeps building on the last and as a whole the album is so unbelievably rock solid. I need to go on and listen to his earlier stuff as East India Youth and I can't wait for whatever this man does next. Thanks a million, Oliver.

Kobbe

THANK YOU for telling me about William Doyle. I was hoping I’d missed something really good this year, turns out I definitely had.

Thank you very much for your video and for this list. I didn't know most of these records. So much great music to listen to. Many thanks! The William Doyle album is just beautiful (also loved his music as East India Youth). I don't know if you have listened to it or if you didn't like it, but my favourite record of 2019 is These New Puritans' "Inside The Rose".

Personally, It's a Whimsical Afterlife by Avenade has to be my album of the year. The blend of post hardcore, noise rock, and many other genres is deeply compelling. Not to mention the incredibly executed concept.

Thanks for the list! Some of the "deeper cuts" (pun intended) provide a valuable insight into the British music scene, covering acts often ignored by the American reviewers (e.g. your top album of the year, largely ignored by top publications except The Quietus and NME, which are, naturally, British)

One gem of an album I would recommend to everyone in this section would be Shinichiro Yokota's - I Know You Like It. A very warm and nostalgic in a way deep house, which may, however, interesting even to those typically not very fond of electronic music

QuercusNatrix

Some more great albums that got seriously overlooked are Nuvolascura's s/t, Shin Guard's 2020 (personally the aoty) and State Faults' Clairvoyant

Max, I guess

4y↑1

there are multiple instances in this video where i thought “wow, this guy is really good at talking about music.” especially when you described weyes blood’s vocals as sometimes like karen carpenter, sometimes like enya. it just made so much sense.
also i really appreciate the love for kate tempest! her album either flew under the radar or just didn’t click with a lot of people from what i’ve seen but it’s an album that really hit me.

channel one

Listened to Your Wilderness 3 times today. Very dense album, a lot to unpack. Great production and instrumentation. The song writing seen quite unorthodox and I can't put my finger on it yet, but I get the feeling that it'll grow on me, very nuanced. The spoken word passages are powerful and reinforce the ideas on the record. A negative for me so far would be the rather weak vocals, they haven't made an impression on me so that's not great but again they may grow on me. This whole album is quite a grower. So far I would say it's probably the most interesting album I heard this month. But it's the repeated listens that will let me know if it's truly a keeper.

Fran Lovel Šimić

Very glad you're back, been a fan for a while now! Liking your list as well despite our music tastes differing. Whereas you're into more vocal-driven genres, I am deep in the instrumental-based and metal-centric underground BUT I do dabble with everything and I am very happy to see Black midi, JPEG, Yazz (especially) and Clipping here and I'll def check your top three cause there is never enough new music!

Now I know some of you hate these, I do too but I would love if you would take the time and check out my music thingy on Instagram (lovelothsmusicgazebo) so we can discuss music and share our love for this medium! And while December is always busy due to the list chaos, I always find the time to talk. Thanks for reading and have a nice holidays!

Checked out Your Wilderness Revisited After this video and initially thought it was good. Have since revisited it (lol) and it's becoming one of my favorites. My love affair with William Doyle has begun, thanks Oliver for bringing another awesome artist to my attention.

Rikard Schumacher

@Nelly RalFllylo's latest is a bit of uninspired waffle. The brilliant Cosmogramma and You're Dead is where he hit his peak. Floating Point's Crush tastes like cardbored to me. On the other hand Lapalux - Amnioverse, The Future Sound of London - Yage 2019 and Leif - Loom Dream were ear opening discoveries that lit up the back end of the year all the way to the middle of the next and beyond. Truly great stuff for the electronica connoisseur.

Haut Strange

Not a top 10 for me but too 20-25 for sure. Great album.

@dreambreeder 079 yeah thats true and i can get where your coming from tbf. This is a good example of how good his work is tho. Even when one fan says its his worse multiple fans will say its his best. He still dosent have a bad album tho. The guys a fucking genius. Imo the greatest artist on the planet and my faviroute artist of all time. Just hope he keeps at it and carries on turning heads.

dreambreeder 079

Nelly Ral That’s completely fair and I’m also a huge Flylo fan that has been supporting his work as both Flying Lotus and Captain Murphy for a while now, as well as the visual stuff that he’s been partaking in but I really disagree. I think it was really well polished and I love the production and mixing in it but I think it’s just different. Different isn’t always bad though. Also I’ve seen people mention that it has no sense of place and I couldn’t possibly disagree more than I already do. Whenever I listen to it I’m immediately transported to the world that the album cover takes place in which also feels like an extension of the world Kuso took place in. I don’t know, to each their own but I personally think it’s a brilliant album.

Damnit, I wish I had the time to leave a proper “essay” of a comment, and comment on some more of these, and more share some suggestions with you, and everyone else in the community! Alas, I am far to busy to do so for once, but I’ll at least say this: I wholeheartedly agree with you that 2019 may be THE year of the decade for music, and that it really didn’t start to get rolling until almost halfway through the year, but by Thanksgiving I was listened to so many fucking albums a week that I’ve been having a hard time actually absorbing everything and getting multiple proper listens!

Between some great pop (looks like we both had Weyes Blood as our pop AOTY), a ton of great metal (mostly underground, mostly extreme/death), a ton of great Jazz, a ton of great punk, post punk, and experimental rock albums, great folk, “indie”, electronic music (whether idm, ambient, or straight techno), I honestly think I haven’t consumed this much music since 2011, maybe even 2010! That’s not even including the massive “history of jazz” undertaking I’ve been on, trying to listen to everything from the available OG 20’s and 30’s New Orleans style, to swing, bop, third stream, post-bop, fusion, avant--guard, uh... it’s out of control, but I love it!

Ok, this IS becoming an essay.. Hopefully I can come back later and give suggestions, talk best albums, etc.. I gotta get off the bus in like less than a minute, so happy holidays, Christmas, or whatever y’all celebrate around the world!!! I’m excited to dig into some of these, especially your AOTY, which I completely missed! ♾❤️🏴🙏

Brad Apodaca

Hook it up on the jazz stuff. Weirder the better!
I’m trying so hard to get into it but a majority of what I hear just bores me! Really love ‘Live Evil’ by Miles Davis but haven’t been able to get into much else from his catalog. ‘Red Bats With Teeth’ from the Lost Highway soundtrack is probably what I want most out of jazz. Brooding, grooving, then fucking chaos! Hah!
I did stumble on Melanie De Biasio and she’s fantastic! Her album ‘No Deal’ is perfect. The remix record is very enjoyable as well. Also the track Blackened Cities comes on at around 25 minutes and I could use another 25!
Zorn has some weird cool stuff.
I dunno! I guess I like soft dissonant piano and weird time signatures.

Hunter Smith

So everyone mentions Kim Gordon’s new album (which is great), but what about Thurston’s new album? I think it’s wonderful and it seems to have been overlooked

Out of curiosity, what'd you think of the new Matana Roberts album? Sounds like it would be up your alley, and its a personal fav of the year.

Did you (or anyone) by chance hear Self Esteem’s Xmas song they released a couple weeks back? I don’t know if it’s going to have the replay power to become a classic, but it’s quite good imo, if you like Xmas songs that are more on the “dark side”, or at least less twee or sentimental, that is.. It’s a bit ironic, cynical, and matter of fact, but for anyone who exists in/has had experience with our modern, corporate Hell world, “All I Want For Christmas Is A Work Email”, will give a satisfactory dose of catharsis... at least if you can have a sense of humor about it. (Ffs if you don’t have some sense of humor about it how do you keep sane? Lol)

PS/Edit: Oh, yeah, and the actual album is quite good! One of the best pop albums if the year imo!

Shoutout to three excellent albums from English noise veterans not on this list: Consumer Electronics, Airless Space; Ramleh, The Great Unlearning; and Sutcliffe Jügend, Relentless.

You have the absolute best voice on youtube! I'm feeling really cozy as i sip away at my morning coffee, hearing what your top albums of the year are. Cheers from Texas!

I honestly think the production on Bandana is underwhelming (relative to Madlib standards). I much prefer Pinata. I don't think the beats are as pretty or as layered as previous works.
