I've got to check most of these out Matt. Only a couple of them have been on my radar.

Thanks for the list, Matt - definitely a number on here I want to check out, and I feel remiss for having only listened to the new Black Keys album once or twice so far…

One that I’ve really been digging is English Teacher’s ‘This could be Texas’. I think that’ll end up on quite a few end of year lists in the UK at least. And Liam Bailey’s ‘Zero Grace’ is another that’s been on regularly rotation.

Congrats on getting the debate started early! Plenty more good music still to come…

Thanks for the comment and recommendations Rich! Adding them to my listening list for this month. Cheers :)

Dark Matter is a statement record, if ever there was one.

Never say never, but I'll be surprised if Don't Forget Me isn't on the top of a LOT of AOTY lists come December.

I'd agree with that statement. Hers is one of a handful of records from this year that I'd call truly great.

Some to revisit, others to discover- thanks!

Fun list! First time hearing of Grande Mahogany, sounds up my alley. Still need to give that Benny the Butcher album a listen to.
