Cabbers Favourite Albums of 2020

[Dirty Boy]

Not too early to bring out the lists is it? Always find it interesting to see what everyone's been into this year. I'll get mine up in a bit.

There's been plenty of great stuff, but i don't think there's been any run away favourite for me this year. That said, the Napalm Death album might be the one i've listened to the most and i didn't think i'd be saying that last December.

[iamcoop]

My music listening has been fairly conservative this year, and most on here will probably be disgusted at my lack of originality and coolness. Still, it's always good value to read these December threads as most people list stuff by artists I've never even heard of, let alone listened to. Still, here are some of the albums I've listened to the most this year, in no particular order;

Napalm Death - Throes of joy in the jaws of defeatism
Kvelertak - Splid
BC Camplight - Shortly after take off
Fiona Apple - Fetch the bolt cutters
Code Orange - Underneath
Working Men's Club - S/T
Run The Jewels - RTJ 4
Bob Dylan - Rough and rowdy ways
AC/DC - Power up
Young Knives - Barbarians

There will definitely be loads more I have forgotten and I've definitely enjoyed more than one album by a non-male artist this year but I can't remember at the moment because I smoked too much weed as a teenager.

[sevendaughters]

I do an annual countdown of my top 20 on Facebook from the start of December, so here it is. a lot of them are hard to sell.

01. Richard Youngs and Raul Refree - All Hands Around The Moment
gentle folk with accents of jazz, chamber music, and other quiet and undemonstrative musics, gently unspooling into the ether.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCjtXOSXLb4

02. Mary Lattimore - Silver Ladders
harp and looper instrumentals that plummet you beneath the Sargassan depths
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YD5xR4soTA

03. Autotelia - I
dude from Oscillation and sadly departed dude from Tomaga make Haxan/Eno-ish dark instrumentals.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOtCu66lCoQ

04. Shackleton / Zimpel - Primal Forms
sprawling post-apocalyptic collab between former dubstep pioneer and experimental clarinettist
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3ttI32Q8AQ

05. The Microphones - Microphones in 2020
1 x 45 minute track reflecting on history, gently shifting through various flavours of intimate lo-fi and folk
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7BkabF31ak

06. 1 Mile North - Tombs and Cocoons
Pensive instrumentals by guitar/synth duo, imagined soundtracks, dark corners of the city vibe.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gYcYKQwG58

07. Cindy Lee - What's Tonight to Eternity
Ex-Women singer goes deeper on his (?) drag-pop 50s/noise sensibility, contains some really astonishing work and some noise
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zUavOJ23Uk

08. Faten Kanaan - A Mythology of Circles
kind of like early Julia Holter tackling Enya in a neo-classical ampitheatre
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AT7RTmKxTOE

09. Jeff Parker - Suite for Max Brown
guitarist from Tortoise arranges jazz-adjacent flow of tunes with sampling and bits of Harlem/Dusseldorf
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pO2wlIg018

10. Augenwasser - Sleepdancer
Swiss bedroom lo-fi indie, kind of like Nap Eyes de-countrified.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYxAtMc-LZ0

11. Lyra Pramuk - Tendril
Voice recordings distended by computer, like Bjork's Medulla in a washing machine
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-AXArGRIH4

12. The Soft Pink Truth - Shall We Go On Sinning So That Grace May Increase?
Matmos dude breaks free with more accessible work taking in modern classical and strange 90s Berlin club feel.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HZAQVaJuac

13. Kooba Tercu - Proto Tekno
Greek collective who fall somewhere between maximalist rock and strange unpacking of music a la Liars/Oneida.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3_Ic-iytCk

14. numün - voyage au soleil
Inscrutable trio of guitar, synth, and gamelan sound like new age music gone space-country?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjzVFvBAfm0

15. Sir Richard Bishop - Oneiric Formulary
Sun City Girls guitarist drops medieval-ish instrumentals
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_2A4z3c6F4

16. The Dream Syndicate - The Universe Inside
Veterans regather for strange hour that takes in Ariel Pink-doing-kosmiche and delicately crafted space pop originals
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CncCZjj998g

17. Bad Amputee - Convenience Kills
NE trio make music sounding like Lungfish doing Low (or the other way around)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLgkfQ4OtA4

18. Fireboy DML - Apollo
Delicate Afropop with great sample grabbing and a cool voice
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRhBfL3GEjQ

19. Domenique Dumont - People on Sunday
amniotic and kaleidoscopic soundtrack to an old silent film
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfMoB27CxAQ

20. Duma - Duma
brash noise reclaiming power-electronics from incels (from Kenya)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zd35MhHqjhc

[holyzombiejesus]

05. The Microphones - Microphones in 2020
1 x 45 minute track reflecting on history, gently shifting through various flavours of intimate lo-fi and folk
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7BkabF31ak

My number one.

I think this is the first year that I've felt has been pretty shit for music. Things felt quite stagnant and my top 3 are either by old artists ((Microphones, Jarv is) or a new artist sounding like something from 35 years ago (The Reds Pinks and Purples). Going from the EoY best of lists, the greatest influence on modern music still seems to be Christmas John Lewis adverts. So fed up of boring men and simpering women singing like they have their eyes closed or are about to cry or they're holding a mug of hot chocolate with both hands.

[SteveDave]

From 2020
Alexandra Savior- "The Archer"
"John Mulaney And The Sack Lunch Bunch OST"
Jarv Is- "S/T"
Man Man- "Dream Hunting In The Valley Of The In-Between."
El Goodo- "Zombie"
Flaming Lips- "American Head"
Paul McCartney- "McCartney III"

From before 2020
Andy Shauf- "The Bearer Of Bad News"
Super Furry Animals- "Love Kraft"
"Paper Moon OST"
Edan- "Beauty And The Beat"
Ween- "12 Golden Country Greats"
Steely Dan- "Countdown To Ecstasy"

Favourite songs
Swamp Dogg- "Sleeping Without You Is A Dragg"
The Black Lips- "Get It On Time"
Las Kellies- "Funny Money"
Emma Swift- "I Contain Multitudes"
Darren Hanlon- "Elbows"
Connie Converse- "Talkin' Like You (Two Tall Mountains)"
Gorillaz- "Momentary Bliss"

I'm sure there were more modern records but I stopped taking notes.

in my longlist I have a lot of old favourites and their umpteenth record but I decided to make a concerted effort to listen to stuff in lockdown. Sadly because me and the missus work from home it is mostly quiet and undemonstrative stuff too, but at least it's not the wallpaper you're describing there.

[JaDanketies]

Fetch The Bolt Cutters - Fiona Apple is good. Her from Black Dresses has done some noise / grindcore albums that were very good too under the moniker Crisis Sygil.

My top album of the year is Visions of Bodies Being Burned by Clipping, which might have found its way into my top albums of all time. Anti-Icon by Ghostemane was good but it's not a patch on his previous release N/O/I/S/E.

On the 'nobody's heard of this guy' side of the spectrum, Trve Brutal Black Jazz by Etienne Pelosoff.

[Dirty Boy]

Napalm Death - Throes Of Joy In The Jaws Of Defeatism
Aksak Maboul - Figures
Deerhoof - Future Teenage Cave Artists
Oranssi Pazuzu -  Mestarin kynsi

You should check out that Black Curse album, it ripped my fucking balls off!

There's been a lot of good extreme metal this year, it may be worth starting another thread.

[convulsivespace]

1. Waxahatchee - Saint Cloud



--"Can't Do Much" video

2. Peach Pit - You and Your Friends



--"Black Licorice" video

[JaDanketies]

You should check out that Black Curse album, it ripped my fucking balls off!

Listening now!

[sevendaughters]

played with Oranssi Pazsuzu a couple of years ago, they were mesmerisingly good. seemed to have moved past black metal into some strange space-rock/freakout mode.

[Sin Agog]

Oy, literally completely forgot to listen to any new Big Blood releases for a couple of years at least.  Will remedy that.  I think the second they took a couple of months off, I assumed they were kaput.

Really liked that Against All Logic album as well!  That one I did listen to but forgot when it came out, for obvious reasons.

ETA: Cheers for the new Haino tip as well.  Would never have found it through all the ridiculous amount of collabs and releases.  Gotta respect someone brushing 70 just that profoundly against sitting still.

[JaDanketies]

albums:
Anna von Hausswolff - All Thoughts Fly
Boris with Merzbow - 2R0I2P0

I've wanted to check out these two but haven't had the opportunity, thanks for the reminder :)

[purlieu]

Last year for me there were a clutch of really exceptional albums but overall not that many records I enjoyed (I struggled to put together a satisfying top 15), whereas this year has been the opposite: lots of very decent albums, but none which I can imagine ever penetrating my All-Time Top 100. I'm also well past my 'peak music' point, to the extent that just looking at my music shelves makes me go "when am I going to get the time to listen to all of this?" without trying to cram new stuff in there as well, so I've been largely existing on a diet of artists I'm already a fan of. Predictably it's 95% pop of a kind or ambient-techno-related.

1. Haim - Women in Music Pt. III
If you'd asked me in January what my favourite album of the year was going to be, this would not have been on the list of possibles. I enjoy their first two albums but felt they were somewhat slight. Here it's just really stonking good guitar pop of the Fleetwood Mac variety start-to-finish. It's unusual for me to prefer a band when they remove some of their pop sheen, but the slightly rawer sound works well here. Lovely stuff.
Selected track: Don't Wanna

2. The Future Sound of London - Cascade 2020
Look, there's a FSOL album every year, and it's always going to be in my top 5. This year's Record Store Day release finds them taking 1993's 'Cascade' and turning it into a 60 minute journey, very loosely reinterpreting the original into a melange of new material. Veers from IDM to pounding breaks to lush ambient to an uncharacteristic dnb track. Retains the oceanic feel of the original without ever feeling repetitive or redundant.
Selected track: Brief Silence

3. Charli XCX - How I'm Feeling Now
The short length and intimate lyrics make this feel much more approachable than last year's self-titled album, and the lack of guest spots lend it a lot of coherence. Her best album since her debut. The production finds her continuing to utilise the PC Music hyperpop/IDM approach which adds a superb edge to the more bubblegum moments.
Selected track: Claws

4. Roddy Woomble - Everyday Sun
The Idlewild frontman's last solo record was a somewhat surprising move into atmospheric, jazz-tinged '70s piano balladry, but nobody could have foreseen this mini-album, a largely electronic work, with Woomble exchanging singing for spoken word for the most part. Boards of Canada-style electronics with abstract poetry. Very beautiful in places.
Selected track: Everyday Sun

5. HOLOVR - Eternal Flow
An unreleased album from 2017, Eternal Flow finds Jimmy Billingham in in familiar HOLOVR territory - thankfully his particular brand of hugely melodic atmospheric acid is incredibly moreish. Billingham has a superb ear for melody that's in full display here.
Selected track: A

6. Off Land - Welkin Paths
Tim Dwyer's ambient project has been on a roll for the past few years, and Welkin Paths is a particular highlight. The blend of plinky FM synths, chunky analogues, acoustic drones and field recordings shouldn't work, but Dwyer's increasing skill in collaging together sounds, as well as a superb ear for melody, makes this an unusual but rewarding listen.
Selected track: Vibrant Dark

7. Carly Rae Jepsen - Dedicated Side B
Although it's grown on me, Dedicated still feels like a huge step down from Emotion. So it was very surprising to find that the album's b-sides are a different beast altogether. Largely dropping the "chill disco" sound of the main album, the songs here are bigger, darker, more soaring and far more energetic. Still a handful of underwhelming numbers, but some huge choruses that stick in my head for days.
Selected track: Stay Away

8. Wire - Mind Hive
While I've enjoyed a fair bit of the Matthew Simms lineup's material, I was beginning to worry that Wire had run out of new places to go. Although lead single 'Cactused' did nothing to persuade me otherwise, the album thankfully finds the band playing with new ideas, from the jarring chuggy opener 'Be Like Them' to the fractured ambient pop of the record's second side. The last time Wire went electronic, 20 years ago, it was largely a disaster. This time they seem to have got it right.
Selected track: Humming

9. The Future Sound of London - A Controlled Vista
Not really an album, but a series of three mini-mixes released during a Covid sale, featuring a wealth of unreleased material and a few tracks from their less widely known releases over the past ten years. The amount of excellent material they've casually just popped out here is almost embarrassing. 'Sleeping With the TV On' from ACV5.6 is a career highlight, and if it never appears on a less obscure release down the line it'll be a crime.
Selected track: A Controlled Vista 5.6

10. Off Land & Specta Ciera - Continental Drift
Some gorgeously epic '90s style ambient from two excellent producers.
Selected track: Elevated Terrain

11. Morphology - Horta Proxima
Morphology pushing the boundaries of where modern electro can go, throwing in hip-hop, techno, breaks and acid elements, while retaining the icy production the style is known for.
Selected track: Aphelion

12. Autechre - PLUS
The more 'conventional' of the two Ae drops this year, PLUS wins for me down to it sounding like everything I'd want from a new Autechre album while being enjoyably compact. It's disjointed and weird and everything you'd expect from the band, while having a notably different, possibly 'warmer', sound than the huge chunk of material that started out as Exai and spawned both Elseq and the NTS Sessions.
Selected track: Marhide

13. The Amorphous Androgynous & Peter Hammill - We Persuade Ourselves We Are Immortal
Two albums of reworkings of one track is the definition of excessive, but that adjective tends to fit The Amorphous Androgynous. The '00s albums were still credited as being 'Produced by The Future Sound of London'; by this point, AA and FSOL are entirely separate beasts, and there are no loops and barely any electronics at all on display here. Instead, we get a 12 minute Floyd-esque space rock song as teaser for their next studio album. It's a great track, I'm just not sure I need 90 minutes of remixes of it.
Selected track: Here's a video of various clips because the full song isn't available to stream anywhere at all

14. Taylor Swift - Folklore
It's that folky indie album Taylor Swift did. I like it. I haven't heard Evermore yet, so it doesn't get a place in the list. See how you like that, Taylor.
Selected track: This is Me Trying

15. Mario Verandi - Remansum
Alternately pretty and slightly sinister pieces for piano, electronics and strings.
Selected track: Riven in Time

16. Autechre - SIGN
Ae doing a largely beatless and quite emotional sounding album? Not what many were expecting. A bit more variety would be nice, but some of this is really beautiful.
Selected track: Metaz form8

17. Lady Gaga - Chromatica
I'd pretty much given up on Gaga following one disappointing album after another, so this one surprised me. Largely '90s Eurodance-inspired production for the most part, which suits her over the top style, and the songs are almost uniformly strong (closer 'Babylon' is a bit crap and a baffling way to end the album).
Selected track: Sine from Above

18. Cleaners From Venus - Dolly Birds and Spies
Martin Newell continues his work in 'mid-fi' after moving up to an eight track, and the more detailed production, surprisingly, works wonders without losing the bedroom pop intimacy that's always been part of his charm. He's still managing to churn out about 15 '60s sounding pop songs a year without really repeating himself or writing himself into a boring corner, which is notable in itself.
Selected track: Trade Winds

19. Lorenzo Senni - Scacco Matto
Senni's 'pointilist' style could easily be dismissed as a bit gimmicky - basically Eurotrance-like synth stabs without the beats - if he weren't such a top composer. On Scacco Matto he develops his pieces beyond his earlier straight-forward style with more dynamics, more complex structures, and even a few other sounds thrown into the mix. His music is an acquired taste, but works wonders for me.
Selected track: Think Big

20. Nurse With Wound - Barren
Two live shows, from 2012 and 2013, on this 2CD set released last month. The former is a more typical NWW show, with a thick, droney sound behind all the improvising; the second is more spacious and interestingly textural, and is one of the most enjoyable NWW releases I've heard in a while.
Selected track: Nothing online, so here's a good quality gig from 2017 instead.


I spent too much fucking money on box sets this year. Magnificent career-spanning 24CD boxes from Mansun and The Divine Comedy set me back a lot of cash, while the early '80s Tangerine Dream box was a really surprise. Favourite reissues/box-sets:
The Divine Comedy - Venus, Cupid, Folly & Time
Tangerine Dream - Pilots of Purple Twilight
Mansun - Closed for Business
Global Communication - Transmissions
Current 93 - Horsey
Current 93 - Sleep Has His House
Tears for Fears - The Seeds of Love
The Idle Race - The Birthday Party
Manic Street Preachers - Gold Against the Soul (despite a bit of a shit remaster - I'm just a big fan of having the b-sides all together for ease of listening)

Some digital EPs, a 12" and a ludicrously big Ae live bundle I also enjoyed:
Yage - Pygmy
Gyrowyre - Grene
Humanoid - KAAGE EP
Autechre - AE_LIVE 2016/2018
Humanoid - Future: Turned
Off Land - Travelogue 1 & 2
Cleaners from Venus - July

And a few honourable mentions of shitshows that aren't appearing in my list:
The 1975 - Notes on a Conditional Form. Predictably a largely tuneless rehash of their last wonderfully daft album. Utterly boring.
Max Richter - Voices. The point where his music got boring for me. I love most of his earlier albums, but nothing here adds anything to his catalogue. The human rights aspect is admirable, but clashes really badly with the music.
The Sensible Gray Cells - Get Back Into the World. Some ok tunes but Captain Sensible writing an anti-vaxx song is not something 2020 needs. The final step in my realisation that he's actually a cunt.
Miley Cyrus - Plastic Hearts. Two good singles and a load of filler. Sad.

Despite all this, I also managed to cram some older new music into my head this year too, including finally getting into Weyes Blood, finally starting to explore the Guided by Voices post-reformation catalogue, listening to FKA Twigs, the three expanded late '70s Wire bookset editions, and the Beatles super deluxe boxsets.

[BlodwynPig]

[Norton Canes]

2020 hasn't been too bad for decent albums, taking everything into account. Top 5 would probably be:

1. ÄTNA - Made By Desire [Come to Me]
2. Belbury Poly - The Gone Away [Quentin's promo]
3. Cabaret Voltaire - Shadow of Fear [Vasto]
4. Purity Ring - Womb [Peacefall]
5. Mentrix - My Enemy My Love [Walk]

The Autechre double-whammy was excellent too.

[lankyguy95]

4. Purity Ring - Womb [Peacefall]

Oh I need to check that one out. Thanks for the reminder.

[sevendaughters]

Yellow Swans - Being There

is this the extended versions of Going Places/bonus CD? I really love the last few "musical" Yellow Swans records, I miss them a lot.

[dissolute ocelot]

Putting aside the fact that my most-played album of 2020 by a long way was All Hail West Texas by The Mountain Goats from 18 years ago (their new album is reliable but not exceptional), here are some albums that currently say "you have played me in 2020 which coincidentally is the year I was released"

The Just Joans "The Private Memoirs and Confessions of the Just Joans" - quotable and relatable Glaswegian indie sarcasm, with occasional moments of sweetness, and tunes
Protomartyr "Ultimate Success Today" - nicely loud guitars and shouting about things I don't particularly understand
Porridge Radio "Every Bad" - critically lauded indie female angst, with "Sweet" the sound of the summer
Georgia "Seeking Thrills" - dance pop and repping curly hair, notably "Never Let You Go" and "About Work The Dancefloor"
Chloe x Halle "Ungodly Hour" - sweet mainstream-ish girl pop, music for getting sexy with an android
Moore Family Band "Missy" - fun punk-pop somewhere between The Ramones and the Shaggs
Junglepussy "JP4" - sex positive rap and brooding/minimalist synth-pop/trip-hop
Ohmme "Fantasise Your Ghost" - weird but poppy indie/dreampop nonsense, pro-ghost
Sløtface "Sorry for the Late Reply" - tune-heavy scandi feminist indie-punk
Sports Team "Deep Down Happy" - catchy, sometimes charming indie-pop with a singer who you'd probably hate irl

Also enjoying non-albuminous material from Walt Disco, Bikini Body, Dry Cleaning, NIMMO, etc

[Enzo]

Wire - Mind Hive was better than it had every right to be
Nyx Nott - Aux Pieds de la Nuit Love all of Moffat's instrumental stuff and this is no exception
Hilary Woods - Birthmarks Ex-Bassist of JJ72 makes visceral, vital music this pisses on her past band from a great height

[Johnboy]

I'll check these out thanks

[sutin]
