Cabbers Favourite Albums of 2020

[JaDanketies]

When I saw Anna von Hausswolff on this thread I immediately galloped off to listen to her latest album and it seemed like discordant noise on a lonely pipe organ. Gave up midway through. It's no Dead Magic. Much respect to her as a musician though.

[The Culture Bunker]

You can count all the 2020 albums I bought on one hand. Luckily I enjoyed them all:

Psychedelic Furs - Made of Rain
The Midnight - Monsters
Nina - Synthian
At 1980 - A Thousand Lives

[Dr Syntax Head]

Fontaines DC. Fucking excellent.
SAULT. Fucking excellent.
Vennart. Fucking quite excellent

Those stood out for me but I listened to very little new music in 2020

That Fontaines DC album though.

Thanks for all the recs. Always love going through this thread when I get the chance, cheers to everyone who made a list, always eclectic and has loads of stuff I've never heard of before. I'd make a list but it'd be short and be similar to some others. Maybe the Napalm Death was my favourite though.

[RenegadeScrew]

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.

14. numün - voyage au soleil
Inscrutable trio of guitar, synth, and gamelan sound like new age music gone space-country?

Sold on the word 'gamelan' which isn't something I can hear much tbh, but what a great album this is.
