my favourite albums released in 2014 in no particular order

The title links to a place to buy or stream it (bandcamp if available). The embedded player has a notable track from the album. Thank you to all the amazing musicians. Enjoy 🙂

FKA twigs - LP1
experimental R&B/trip-hop, sounds like the future and it’s very catchy

Thom Yorke - Tomorrow’s Modern Boxes
Warm sounds, great to listen to during long walks on winter days.

Venetian Snares - My Love is a Bulldozer
This album is a like a love letter, made into an opera, made into a breakcore album. It’s extremely well-made and pretty emotional for VS.

Fauve - Vieux Frères, partie 1
Fauve c'est un truc qui te prend par la main et qui te tire de plus en plus vite. Au final tu cours dans les champs et y'a des mots et y'a la vie et c'est beau. Vieux Frères m'a un peu déçu à la première écoute, mais il reste super bon et j'attends avec impatience la prochaine partie.

Dawn Golden - Still Life
Great productions and good songs. It sounds quite like the cover, pretty but hazy like an old memory.

Clipping - CLPPN
Clipping - CLPPN Clipping continues to make their amazing blend of hip-hop and noise music.

Oneohtrix Point Never - Comissions 1
a three songs album that are more a place you can visit than music. Visit it, get lost in it, come back changed.

Bored Lord - Alone Online
a really cyber album that feels like james blake ate a Blank Banshee album. Full of future beats and emotional lyrics with internet puns.

this last one isn’t an album, but basically anything PC music put out this year. They made the most interesting music of 2014, and every release was as catchy, poppy and insane as the previous. My favourite release is A G Cook’s remix of Repeat Pleasure, but it’s not the most representative of their sound.
