Destroyer and The Drums will be on mine as well. Avoided that Destroyer for months based on previous work of his, but this album is '70's AM heaven.

Indeed Stop Breathin'. I wasn't really into his previous work either. this album is just so relaxed and easy to listen to.

Dj, definitely check this out.

the Destroyer record never left my #1 spot all year. It's perfect.

I really need to spend more time with this Nicholas Jaar. It keeps showing up on lists and I just never gave more than one listen due to life's distractions.

Vantzou, Jaar, and Deaf Center all quality for sure. Probably a lot on this list I should check out.

Got that Rustie (and a couple of those Demdike Stare vinyl reissues which are really nice looking sets) for Christmas and am looking forward to giving them a listen in the next couple of days.

Kreng. Nice choice. It is a like for me so far out there I don't listen to it much but for moods. But I do like it. Thanks for that heads up on Craft Spells.

dude, that Rustie album is an absolute blast. he's created a very individual sound for himself. love it, and looking forward to seeing where he pushes his music.
