About a year ago I was writing my first article on RREVERB, it was the same “best of 2015” formula as you are getting now: 25 of my favourite albums of the year, (see my 2014 list here) along with a Spotify playlist of my best songs of the year. I am a person of few words, but where I did review for the album, you can follow the links to read further… Sound & Color – Alabama Shakes (my last.fm stats tell me this is BY FAR the album I listened to the most. Rounded. Intense. Perfect.) Carrie & Lowell – Surfjan Stevens Ones and Sixes – Low (also providers of my best gig of the year) Art Angels – Grimes * Depression Cherry + Thank Your Lucky Stars – Beach House (special mention for releasing two albums in 2 months!) Fading Frontier – Deerhunter To Pimp a Butterfly – Kendrick Lamaar Little Mourning – Milk & Bone * In Colour – Jamie XX I Love You Honeybear – Father John Misty I Become a Shade – Seoul * Poison Season – Destroyer * Currents – Tame Impala (first single Let it Happen was sooo good I forgive other disapointing parts of the album) B’lieve i’m going down – Kurt Vile The Air Conditioned Nightmare – Doldrums * Viet Kong – Viet Kong * (Women! Resurrected!) Magnifique – Ratatat Deep in the Iris – Braids * Secret Life – Moon King * Star Wars – Wilco Love Songs for Robots – Patrick Watson * Escape from Evil – Lower Dens Mediac – The Most Serene Republic * Individ – The Dodos Another Eternity – Purity Ring * Let me know if you think I missed out on something worthwile: I love a bit of year-end musical banter! Now for my favourite songs of the year, the list is to long too write up, so here it is in playlist format: Happy New Year! * If you are wondering what the asterisk means, they are here as a reminder that we have an AMAZING canadian music scene. 11 out of 25 of my fave albums this year are from The Country Above the United States. Which is now cool again thanks to Trudeaumania, let’s hope our music has the same success in the new year! Check out all our “top of 2015” articles here!
