Kousnik - Out My Window
Debut album from Koushik Ghosh, a Dj on the Stone's Throw Label from Canada. An ambient and psych-pop album with mostly half baked songs, too subtle to categorised actually. A perfect substitution for a nap, you'll feel relaxed and a bit dazed after listening to the whole album.
Nothing's The Same
Coolin'
Bright And Shining
Of Montreal - Skeletal Lamping
Haha this album is fucking crazy. Compulsively unpredictable and messy yet brilliantly balanced.
Wicked Wisdom
For Our Elegant Castle
Plastis Wafers
The Foreign Exchange - Leave It All Behind
Following up Nicolay and Phonte's 'classic album you've never heard of' is their sophomore Leave It All Behind. Unlike their debut, Phonte sings a lot more which is surprisingly fresh. One of the chillest releases this year.
I Wanna Know
Daykepper feat. Muhsinah
Take Off The Blues feat. Darien
Uyama Hiroto - A Son Of The Sun
If you're a fan of Nujabes, you would of heard of Uyama Hiroto by now, he done a few songs in a couple of his albums. A strong debut from this overtalented Japanese and no doubt released one of the 'better albums you'll never hear about' this year.
Waltz For Life Will Born
81summer
Colour Of Jade
Bob Dylan - Tell Tale Signs, The Bootleg Series Vol.8
Considering that this compilation are full of songs that were unreleased and abandoned from earlier projects, it amazes me how timeless and classical they sound.
Mississippi - Unreleased Version 2, Time Out Of Mind 1
Dignity - Unreleased, Oh Mercy
Marchin'To The City - Unreleased, Time Out Of Mind
Nujabes - Modal Soul Classics
I doubt there will ever be a Nujabes release that I would'nt enjoy. One thing I don't get is that if this is a follow up to Modal Soul or not, none the less it's an excellent release.
Under The Hood ft. Specifics
Ai-No-Kawa ft. Sleepwalker
Folklore ft. Clammbon
Vem Para Ficar ft. Lava
