Actually Iāve added Monophonics onto it, it can go with the bottom two as one that Iāve really enjoyed.

Moses Sumney - Grae
Laura Marling - Songs For Our Daughter
Bonny Light Horseman

Monophonics - Itās Only Us
Laura for sure. My AotY currently. I had no idea I would be as enamored with an album this year as her's had me.
Really impressed Arka made the list. Talk about under the radar. Doubly impressed it ranked so high.The 50 Best Albums Of 2020 So Far

It was mine too for a long time. Itās bewitching. She an artist that develops at such a rate between every release that I canāt wait to see what she has in store for us next. The only reason itās not number one is that Grae has blown me away not only in its ambition but in its ability to fulfill it, itās an astounding achievement, I donāt know if anything will top it this year for me, if something does itāll be another truly remarkable album!
Huh, the album of hers I ordered has an August release date.
