Best Music of 2020

This new Avalanches album... is kinda of boring. A lot of the songs seems to be in the same BPM so it just kind of chugs a long. I honestly don't remember anything memorable from it. Whereas with Wildflower I instantly was hooked from the very first song.

Simply put, they don't top their first two albums and there's certainly a change of pace on the LP, more neo-soul and less plunderphonics (less of a kaleidoscope of sounds) but that said I like the overall vibe and concept 💡 behind the project. The exploration of death, the afterlife and everything celestial while utilizing samples of artists that have passed away.

Huh? Interesting #1
Les Inrocks' Top 100 Albums of 2020

If anything, that album was incredibly prescient in describing 2020 with its title (the album having been announced prior to the shitstorm of a year this became). Full disclosure, I do love the album even if I have another 10 ahead of it on my personal list.

Also, shout out to that #2. Great record that I discovered a few weeks ago when these lists started coming out. I was playing "AAAAA" in some playlists over the summer but never realized they released an LP this fall. I'll be making room for that one on my final list.
