| Trif's 2021 β Records I Love
A new year, a new Records I Love! These are all the 2021 records that I think are worth at least 3.5. Decided to write mega short blurbs about each one this time round too. Will add to this as the year progresses, let's see if 101 entries is enough this time! | | 1 |  | Gabriel Rios
Flore
Latin/Folk/Electronic/Pop(?)/Bossa-nova
4.5
A lovely record, inspired by his Puerto-Rican youth, described by himself as his Gothic Caribbean record. Torre has to be the most catchy tune of 2021 so far! | | 2 |  | John Tejada
Year Of The Living Dead
Techno/Minimal/Tech House
4.0
John tried some new stuff here, and most of it works wonderfully. Still has to big-time-click with me, looking forward to spend more time with it though! | | 3 |  | Chris Garneau
The Kind
Pop/Rock/Folk
3.5
Super quiet and introspective and moody, some parts of it are a little too much for me, but overall this is a nice experience! | | 4 |  | Anneke van Giersbergen
The Darkest Skies Are The Brightest
Folk/Rock
3.5
Yet another fine solo effort from our dear sweet Anneke. This time focussing on her relationship issues, a very uncharacteristically personal theme. As with most of her solo stuff it doesn't quite hit the mark all the way for me, but Her Voice, oh man, Her Voice. | | 5 |  | Russ Lossing
Metamorphism
Jazz/Improv
4.0
Lovely acoustic jazz work, Lossing (piano) has a very nice style, accompanied by double bass, sax, and drums, just the way I like it. If anyone is looking for a cool entry for procupine's The Year Of Jazz lists, this is a very nice one! | | 6 |  | Laima Adelaide
Modern Nature
Ambient Techno
3.5
With a slow but steady shift from ambient to techno, this wonderfully produced record takes you on a 45 minute journey through pulsating, digital forests, yet never losing that organic undertone from which this started. | | 7 |  | ENA
One Draw
Experimental/Techno/Dub
3.5
Eight minimal compositions by a Japanese mainstay, exploring experimental regions in the field of dub and techno. An aptly titled album for sure. | | 8 |  | Yu Su
Yellow River Blue
Electronic
3.5
A sunny record with lots of diversity and some very fun tracks. I like how this just goes wherever Yu Su wants it to, it feels really care-free and alive. | | 9 |  | Druida
Musgo
Electronic/Folk
3.5
A sweet record, the cover already betrays its nocturnal atmosphere. Vibraphone, string instruments, gamelan/hang/something in that vein, flutes, everything is thrown in the mix, and all of that in under 20 minutes! | | 10 |  | Amandra x Mattheis
Lettre Ouverte
Techno
4.0
Warm, sunny, sepia, very organic sounding. This first collaboration between Amandra (drums) and Mattheis (synths) makes for a very relaxing listen. I hope there is a lot more to follow! | | 11 |  | Twyn Towers
Birdwatching
Psychedelic/Rock/World/Surf
4.0
Khruangbin-esque record from Lebanon, with surf-y, psych-y guitars, a nicely relaxed atmosphere, but lots of crunch too! The drumming is excellent here. Purely instrumental. I could see myself listening to this for a long time! That last track is huuuuge! | | 12 |  | Dominique Fils-Aime
Three Little Words
Soul/R&B
3.5
Vocally driven, warm, and surprisingly introspective. This could have been overblown and thus collapse under its own weight, yet Fils-AimΓ© manages to keep it small enough to be lovely and sweet! | | 13 |  | Snowpoet
Wait For Me
Jazz/Electronic/Pop/Indie/...?
4.0
A lot is happening here. It reminds me of Sinead O'Connor (her voice), of Bjork (instrumentation and quirkyness), of folky pop, of Bonobo or other electronic/jazz combos, and the list goes on. It works magically well, another sunny and diverse 2021 album. | | 14 |  | Jose James
New York 2020
Soul/Jazz/Funk
3.5
A live album by a very smooth-voiced guy. I actually dig this more than his studio records. Backed up by a set of amazing musicians, this album grooves like crazy. | | 15 |  | Tenfold (NL)
Reply to All
Indie pop/Folk
4.0
The combination of Tineke's warm and melodic voice, the wonderful production and the broad scope of instruments used here - especially the clarinet! - makes for a super lovely little debut. Highly recommended! | | 16 |  | Thron
Pilgrim
Black/Death Metal
3.5
An energetic record full of Dissection worship. A barrage of melodic riffs upon melodic riffs, croaky-raspy vocals, and drum madness. Perhaps too clichΓ© for some, but I simply cannot deny the fun that is found here. | | 17 |  | Echonomist
Night Versions
Electronic/Synth pop [EP]
3.5
Super short, but these two tracks are worth your attention. If you've been waiting for a combo of electronic in the widest sense, from breakbeat to techno, mixed with synth pop and an almost Snow Patrollish guest singer, check this! | | 18 |  | Altin Gun
Yol
Psychedelic/Electronic/Turkish vibes
4.0
Wonderfully produced, warm synth sounds, funky riffs, some psych effects and lots of Turkish influences. From the singing to the melodies. One of their best efforts yet, really can't wait to jam this loudly with the sunlight streaming in. Room to grow too! | | 19 |  | Sunnata
Burning In Heaven, Melting On Earth
Doom Metal/Psychedelic/Grunge/Sludge Metal/Stoner Metal
3.5
These descriptions don't lie: this record truly is as diverse as they suggest. A shamanic experience brought by a seemingly consistent bunch of Poles. A Million Lives and Black Serpent are highlights. | | 20 |  | Maria BC
Devil's Rain
Dream pop/Indie folk [EP]
4.0
Super cute little introspective EP. Dreamy lady vox that remind me of the mighty miss Fraser sometimes, accompanied by a lonely electric guitar (mostly). An instantly-daydream-mood-album! | | 21 |  | Wesenwille
II: A Material God
Atmoblack/Death Metal
3.5
Holding it back: drum sound. Loving: riffs! Nicely melodic and diverse enough to keep me interested. From my home town too! | | 22 |  | Arseny Rykov Trio
Forgotten Melody
Jazz
3.5
Great acoustic jazz from Russia, twinkly pianos, warm bass and organic drums, what more could you ask for? Thanks GhandhiLion! | | 23 |  | Jane Weaver
Flock
Dream pop/Electronic/Indie/ Psychedelic
3.5
Dreamy, electronic heavy indie pop, that combination of genres isn't saying a lot any more, but this is good! The more psychedelic leaning moments here are super cool. | | 24 |  | Feu! Chatterton
Palais d'Argile
Electronic heavy indie rock
4.0
Some serious LCD Soundsystem vibes here, lovely music. A long album, but manages to be good from beginning to end. Wonderful production always makes me happy! Thanks dedex! | | 25 |  | Mork
Katedralen
Black Metal
3.5
Reminds me of Enslaved occasionally, of Darkthrone (obviously). Nicely melodic, love how straightforward this is. No atmoblack here, which actually is very refreshing nowadays! Might even grow into a 4.0. | | 26 |  | Valerie June
The Moon And Stars: Prescriptions for Dreamers
Soul
4.0
Warm, sunny album. Her voice is an acquired taste, but I love it! Diverse yet consistently great throughout. | | 27 |  | Crumb
Ice Melt
Psychedelic/Indie
3.5
Lovely follow-up to an even lovelier debut. Some new sounds for them, overall just a tad too tame, but it picks up steam after the first half for sure! | | 28 |  | Tom Caruana
Brewing Up
Hip-hop
3.5
Jazzy hip-hop, what else could you possibly want? I think there's potential for growth here, sounded delish. Nice vibes, guest appearances for each track, nice diversity! | | 29 |  | Natalia Lafourcade
Un Canto por MΓ©xicoβ Volβ€ 2
Latin/Folk
4.0
Oh my, talk about warm and sunny! Natalia's gorgeous and comforting voice is accompanied by some super arrangements and all of it is wonderfully produced (a mainstay of this list, ooooops!). When is Vol. 3 arriving!!!? | | 30 |  | Bruno Pernadas
Private Reasons
Psychedelic and everything he wants
4.5
Album of the year so far! Man! Those arrangements, the sunny, nostalgic vibes throughout. Easily manages to stay interesting for 75 minutes. Can't stop listening! | | 31 |  | Erika de Casier
Sensational
R&B/Soul
4.0
Yet another stunningly smooth and sexy record by this amazing lady. And as always: full of 90s/00s throwback. Keep them coming! | | 32 |  | UMI
Introspection Reimagined
R&B/Soul [EP]
3.5
A nice, smooth EP, which apparently adds live musicians to the previously released Introspection EP. And that was exactly what I enjoyed so much about it, so I won't be listening to the non-live version! Her voice is nice too... | | 33 |  | Myele Manzanza
Crisis & Opportunity, Vol. 1 - London
Jazz
4.0
New Zealand jazz drummer Manzana recorded a super nicely buoyant and energetic jazz album, focussed heavily on his excellent drumming. This does not overshadow the other instruments either, with the piano most notably being superb. Mostly acoustic, some big old school vibes, yet also with a modern touch, this ticks all the right boxes for me. Yup, this is a nice one! | | 34 |  | Requin chagrin
Bye Bye Baby
Surf/Rock/Dream Pop
3.5
French lady who incorporates surf, 60s and 80s, all sautΓ©ed in a big Le Creuset, and finally drenched in a nice dream pop bechamel. Lovely! budgie you should hear this. | | 35 |  | Misty Coast
When I Fall From The Sky
Psychedelic/Dream Pop
3.5
Punchy drums, sweet, poppy melodies, hazy, dreamy singing, some kaleidoscopic psych vibes, this one has it al! And that from dark, grim, frosty Norway! | | 36 |  | Darkthrone
Eternal Hails
Old School Heavy Metal/Proto Doom etc.
4.0
Spectacular riffs, wonderful old school production, and a closer that ranks among their best stuff in decades, these veterans just always know how to keep things real. Ridiculously good. | | 37 |  | Beach Youth
Postcard
Surf/Indie Rock/Pop
3.5
Cute French Normandic indie surf psych stuff. Energetic and straightforward and good. Nice shoegazy vibes as well. Good distinction between the bass/lower registers and some nicely distorted guitars. | | 38 |  | Myles Oliver
Audio Net
Neurofunk/Breakstep/Drum'n'bass [EP]
3.5
From one of Sputnik's very own, a lovely dark little number, with great vibes and grooves. https://kinggreenied.bandcamp.com/album/audio-net | | 39 |  | Eversines
Companionship
Progressive House [EP]
3.5
A very nice, old school sounding EP from yet another good Nous'klaer act. Definitely a label to follow! | | 40 |  | Swaine Delgado
Brushed
Pop [EP]
3.5
Another cute EP, some psych-ish stuff, some R&B-ish vibes, some surf or something feels, you name it. Also this cover confuses me so much since it is EXACTLY the SAME as that Porter Robinson one and whAAT??! | | 41 |  | GusGus
Mobile Home
Techno/Pop
4.0
Whether staying at home or dancing in the club, this is sure to make you want to MOVE! Super slick, accessible, fun, energetic, danceable record. | | 42 |  | Elsa Hewitt

Beautifully introspective, everything she mixes in here has its own little place. Introspective and wonderful. | | 43 |  | Skee Mask

Some Snow Patrol vibes at first, but definitely grows more adventurous later on. Love the drums in Dawn for instance. Cute little record! | | 50 |  | Ulver
Hexahedron
Drone/Rock/Electronic
4.0
Another 2010-2020s Ulver live record, exactly as you would expect (which is weird saying about them!). A nice mix of AGJEGHRINGROIJGNEJGNEG's rock-influences and Drone Activity's... drone. | | 51 |  | Spectacular Diagnostics
Natural Mechanics
Hip Hop/Rap
4.0
Old school sounding, but still fresh, great use of samples, some soulful stuff, some DJ Krush-like vibes. Super good! | | 52 |  | Stimming

Funky house, super 80s inspired, sexy and smooth, with long, hypnotizing songs. | | 57 |  | Darkside
Spiral
Electronic/Psychedelic
4.0
Might be even better than the first LP of Jaar and Harrington! Some kraut here and there, stronger cohesion between the tracks, and more vocals-driven than Psychic. | | 58 |  | Kangding Ray

Neurotic, full, monotonous yet always interesting. Ray strikes again! (Ugly cover!) | | 59 |  | Rey Sapienz and the Congo Techno Ensemble

Saxophone, samples, strings, and a laid-back mixture of jazz and electronic stuff. Super cool record. | | 80 |  | Nynke Laverman
Plant
Pop/Folk
3.5
Plant. Duh. It should be here based on that alone. This disc follows the story of Frisian Nynke Laverman who would prefer to be a plant to escape being a human. You've got to hear it to believe it. | | 81 |  | Clara Malaterre
Points Cardinaux
Folk/Country [EP]

Trifolium
03.17.21 | Finally, the Madness is over, so this can start! I love these lovely disks yesss π | rage11111ro
03.17.21 | Yeah, but how do we vote on these?:) | Trifolium
03.17.21 | Haha! You could listen to and rate ALL OF THEM and then I could make a huge Excel sheet to show more statistics.
Or I could make a winner-takes-all type of knock-out competition featuring all of these albums, but that would make no sense. We are above that kind of fickle amusement. | Pangea
03.17.21 | The best list of the year is finally here! | Trifolium
03.17.21 | Pangea π
The best user of every year has also arrived! | Trifolium
03.17.21 | It's a nice one, hope you dig. Pretty and warm. | nightbringer
03.17.21 | Subscriiiibed. Struggling to find much I like this year. It's all on YOU, Trif, to remedy that. | dedex
03.17.21 | oi, nice it's finally here! | Trifolium
03.17.21 | Ooooh, the pressure is ON! But I agree, except for Record No. 1 here, nothing has struck me as superb yet.
And YOU are finally here too dedex π | Sabrutin
03.17.21 | Cool stuff! Especially tempted by 6 | Trifolium
03.17.21 | Nice! It is worth it I'd say. There's potential for growth too, a nice progression throughout the record for sure. | Trifolium
03.18.21 | 7 and 8 added, they're also nice!
Still waiting on a big π₯ of a record though... | Trifolium
03.22.21 | Listen to 10 it RUUUUULES! | Egarran
03.22.21 | A very handsome list | zakalwe
03.22.21 | Need to check the lot. Think Iβll start with 6.
Nice one trif. | zelenichajnik
03.22.21 | Sweet lookin list my dude, and a big fat 'nice' on 6. Honestly would give all of this a go, especially those last 4. | Pangea
03.22.21 | listening to 10 right now. it's nice but i don't know if it's the vibe i'm looking for | Trifolium
03.22.21 | It might be a little too much on the minimal side of things for you Pangea?
Thanks Eg, zak, zel π | Pangea
03.22.21 | hmm i do like some minimal stuff like GAS, but i guess i prefer my minimal techno a little more atmospheric maybe? 10 didn't draw me in at all | Trifolium
03.22.21 | Yeah I get what you mean, it's pretty bare-bones sometimes, pretty sparse. I like it that way, so that's good for me! | Trifolium
03.24.21 | 11 and 12 are chillll, they suit this hesitant yet very present springtime sun! | Trifolium
03.30.21 | Some nice new additions, I think I kind of like 2021 so far. Only halfway through February now in my big catch-up, and 16 albums made it to the list already! We'll be needing a Records I Love So Far Pt. 2 again at this rate! | Pangea
03.30.21 | Oh i love the description of 15, will definitely check! always nice to hear some dutch stuff once in a while | Trifolium
03.30.21 | Nice! I really liked it, wish there was a CD release... But hey, that's life in a streaming/vinyl (and even casette!) oriented world. | Trifolium
04.07.21 | 2 is way better than a 3.5! A +.5 is in order. Taaaaasty record! | Dewinged
04.07.21 | damn trif, you're turning into an obscure jammity jams expert | Trifolium
04.07.21 | Yipppeeeee Dewi you're here! 2021 has been quite good as far as obscure jammity jams go I'd say. But I keep forgetting we're already over three months in.
Almost done with catching up on February now. March is next! | Trifolium
04.21.21 | And some more additions. Almost a quarter of the spots now filled up, and I'm nearing the end of catching up on March. Who knows what will happen next! | parksungjoon
04.21.21 | myusuic isnt real | Trifolium
04.21.21 | Of course it is happening inside your head, park, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real? | Egarran
04.21.21 | Pretty sure you're all inside MY head | NorthernSkylark
04.21.21 | Cool. Gonna check 15 and 20 and see what happens! | Trifolium
05.12.21 | I really liked 27! Some cool stuff this year, still waiting on That Big Bad Banger though. | Pangea
05.12.21 | ohh 23 sounds nice
25 is cool, i need to listen to it more | Trifolium
05.12.21 | Yeah it was!
Did you hear the Zwart vierkant one that's on the front page yet? I haven't, hope to do so later today. | Pangea
05.12.21 | no but i was intriqued by the album title haha | Trifolium
06.11.21 | Some super cool additions of the last couple of weeks. Should start catching up, I've neglected April/May/June oooooooops! | Pangea
06.20.21 | 2 is cool! | Trifolium
06.20.21 | Yeah it is!! Was listening to it yesterday too. Do you know more of his stuff Pangea? You could try Parabolas, it's totally amazing. | Demon of the Fall
06.20.21 | Oh nice! Which one(s) would I likely enjoy? I see no trip-hop, but I do see releases within the electronic spectrum. π€π€ | Trifolium
06.20.21 | 2, 7, 30 and maybe 31? I need to start catching up on the last couple of months aaaah. | Demon of the Fall
06.20.21 | Cool thanks, Iβve bookmarked this!
Iβm well behind on new releases. | Trifolium
06.24.21 | 33 is SO lovely! | Relinquished
06.24.21 | cool list, lot for me to check | Koris
06.24.21 | I might have to review 33... fantastic stuff | Trifolium
06.24.21 | Yippeeee, hope you find something nice Wolfe!
Do you know 33 Divergent? It's super mega fantastic! | NorthernSkylark
06.24.21 | Gonna give Erika a little break and check Nataliaβs new! It better be sunny. | Koris
06.24.21 | Yeah Trif, I started listening to it earlier this week. I've been on the hunt for some good jazz recently, and that's been hitting the spot :] | Trifolium
06.25.21 | Oh nice! It kind of blew me away, such a fantastic record. Looking forward to the review then, please know that I will visit regularly π
It certainly is sunny Skylark, you won't be disappointed in that. | Muzz79
06.25.21 | I will def check out your metal digs Trif. Canβt say Iβve seen this before now | Trifolium
06.25.21 | I hope you like them Muzz! There wasn't too much in metal-land that really caught my ear, but today will change that with a release by a major, high-end, bm-mainstay... π | Muzz79
06.25.21 | Eternal hails.... | Trifolium
06.25.21 | Absolutely, that's the one. | dedex
06.25.21 | 35's artwork is so good i might check it | Trifolium

06.25.21 | new darkthrone is out Trif!! just listened and it's great | Trifolium
06.25.21 | Yeah I so want to hear it but I can't give it my full attention at the moment due to w o r k stuff, so I'll check later today. Very hyped! | Mythodea
06.28.21 | commenting to keep this list in my everyday life... 13 is fire. | Trifolium
06.28.21 | Myth ππ
13 is so lovely yes! So full and diverse and wonderful. | Mythodea
06.28.21 | Sounds like Bjork decided to drop the vocal quirkiness, but kept her songwriting attitude! | Trifolium
06.28.21 | Yeah exactly. Colorful and alive and energetic. Listening now, thanks for the reminder to revisit! How've you been? I saw it was super mega warm in Greece? | Mythodea
06.28.21 | I'm literally melting on the couch... Sweat goes *drip* *drip* *drip*, and I feel my skin burning... The fan is helping but not much after a while... | Trifolium
06.28.21 | Yuck. Sounds horrible. Perhaps Early Feelings from 13 will help, it's super cold and fresh. I'd love to send over some nice Dutch grey skies but it's super humid and gross here as well so that won't help π΅
We could imagine we're at the bottom of some shallow sea, chilling and being rocked gently.
β¨πππΏ | Mythodea
06.28.21 | haha, yeah, I'd love that! | Trifolium
07.01.21 | New
a
ddi
tions! | Egarran
07.01.21 | Is there a support group for people who never really got into Darkthrone?
I know this is taboo but don't be too hard on me. | Muzz79
07.01.21 | I only turned this year. Before then I couldnβt get over production | Trifolium
07.01.21 | There is. Right here. It's no problem Egarran we still love you. ππ | Trifolium
07.07.21 | Adding more of these and OOOOOPS one of them was my 2500th rating!!!! | Egarran
07.07.21 | Thank you Trif π
It has always been hard for me to accept and be open about. A BM fan who is not a Darkthrone fan? That's just not right, right? At least I know no other examples.
But here I am, alienated.
| Trifolium
07.07.21 | Alienated by the masses but loved, revered and appreciated by us, your loyal friends. I do understand that BMing but not DTing can be confusing though. But I am sure you will find a way. | GhandhiLion
07.07.21 | Ooh Im surprised to see 5. Niceeeeeee | Trifolium
07.07.21 | Absolutely, that record is so good. One of my faves from this year so far. Should hunt down a physical copy somewhere.
Anything in that vein that I might have missed Ghandhi? | rabidfish
07.07.21 | gonna check 30, thx | Ryus
07.07.21 | 30 is great ya | someone
07.07.21 | Thought 40 was that Porter Robinson album. | Trifolium
07.07.21 | 30 ππβ¨ππ
Ahaha someone I have been confused about this all day. When I saw the Robinson one reviewed, I thought hey, that's that one album I've added to my to-listen-to list! And when I finally came around to that album on my list, it turned out to be a TOTALLY DIFFERENT ONE whAT!!!!! π―π΅πππππͺ | Pikazilla
07.07.21 | Trif, could you pls rec me one I haven't heard from your list? | Trifolium
07.07.21 | Pika, you could check 2 and/or 7. Or 42, which is still in the making, but it is going to be Elsa Hewitt - Lupa for sure, that one rules. Quieter, introspective electronic stuff, hypnotizing. | GhandhiLion
07.07.21 | I'm not sure about in that same vein but there has been many good jazz albums you probably missed
Let My People Go (shepp+Moran)
Adventures of the Wildflower
Uneasy (Vijay Iyer)
Jihye Lee Orchestra Daring Mind (big band jazz!)
| Trifolium
08.18.21 | YIPPPEEEEEE Some nice new entries and I feel more are coming today because the vibe is GOOD.
I'll check these too Ghandhi π | Demon of the Fall
08.18.21 | I'm gonna check some of these, maybe...
Snowpoet, Elsa Hewitt + the one's you already rec'd me (whoops). Twin Towers and Altin Gun sound interesting.
Any objections? | Trifolium
08.18.21 | No, I haven't any objections. The Snowpoet is lovely, so is the Hewitt. Twin Towers and Gun are as well, very curious how they would rank on the Demon-scale.
Love the maybe by the way. Exactly as it should be with these kind of things. | Trifolium
08.25.21 | Still catching up on May, and we're halfway through this list. 2021 is kind of nice! | Trifolium
08.30.21 | A few more super mega good ones have been ADDED! That Moroccan one is very nice. | Pikazilla
08.30.21 | Hello, Trifolium! Which of these techno releases do you think I would be able to appreciate? Thank you for your time! | Trifolium
08.30.21 | Dear Pikazilla, Thank you for your inquiry. I would suggest checking 41 (GusGus), 46 (Terrence Dixon), and 53 (Abel Ray). Please let me know what you think! Best, Trifolium. | Pikazilla
08.30.21 | Your speedy reply is much appreciated! I shall share my thoughts with you on these releases in the near future.
Kind regards,
Pikazilla, destroyer of rating charts | Trifolium
09.06.21 | New additionssssss πͺπΌπ₯° | Trifolium
10.05.21 | Added Joana because her record is cuuuuuuute! | butt.
10.05.21 | Ive listened to nearly 300 new albums in 2021 so far, and yet, only 3 on this list. How | Trifolium
10.05.21 | Hihihihihi which ones and did you like them?! | butt.
10.05.21 | 27 - Yes
30 - YES
36 - ehh yeah | Trifolium
10.05.21 | "30 - YES"
π Still my fave of the year. | Trifolium
11.09.21 | More bumpsssssssssssss!!!!!!
I need to catch up big time, still stuck in July or thereabouts. | Bedex
11.09.21 | i should really do my yearly lists the way you do yours, i still haven't written my 2020 retrospective :] | Trifolium
11.09.21 | Just do ittttt!!!!!
Also I'm falling in love with Altin GΓΌn (18) more and more. So much funnnnn!!! https://youtu.be/XZiqngRvuO4 | Bedex
11.09.21 | Ima start with 2022 I think! | NorthernSkylark
12.02.21 | Does this also serve as your eoty list or will there be an exciting hidden gems list? xx | Trifolium
12.02.21 | Hihihihiihihih I always think it might be too much repetition to do an AOTY list since I already have these.
I'm still stuck in June with this currently, so I need to catch up like there's no tomorrow AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! | Trifolium
12.06.21 | The
β¨ππ Big π₯βπ₯ Catching ππͺπ Up ππͺπΌπ
has begun!!!
2021 is almost over, so let's get this over with! | NorthernSkylark
12.06.21 | Cool! Letβs go. Also that washed out album is from 2020β¦ | Trifolium
12.06.21 | Oh my you're so right. I already thought I saw it before somewhere and I could have sworn I added it already to a Records I Love list... Turns out it was the 2020 version OOOOOOOOPS! | Trifolium
12.12.21 | Love love love 71!!! | NorthernSkylark
12.12.21 | Iβm currently revisiting 18 and i enjoy it so much more this time around! Itβs weird cause it feels like Iβm listening to it for the first time and itβs really clicking. An album I never thought I needed, I guess. Love the mid eastern synth vibes. How is their second 2021 album compared to Yol?
Also 71 sounds like something Iβd really enjoy, so will get on that too. | fogza
12.12.21 | Is trif the most adorable user on sput? Some would say so | NorthernSkylark
12.12.21 | some would not dare say no | Trifolium
12.12.21 | Yol is so super cool yeah, lovely stuff. Can't stop jamming it every so often, and Bulunur Mu is in my top 10 tracks of the year hahaha! Their second one isn't far behind I'd say, definitely give it a go if you liked Yol. Plus 71 should be on everyone's mind, it's cute!
Also hello fooogggyyyyyy!!!!!
| Trifolium
12.13.21 | Annnnndddddddd some more albums have placed themselves on this list full of lovelies! Catching up is working I'm in August now!!! | Trifolium
12.14.21 | Adding MORE. Even more. Oh my, will it ever end? Just added the releases of October to my list of albums-to-check, there are so many left.......... π©
But there is lots of cool little records in between the seas of average stuff, makes it all worth it. | Demon of the Fall
12.15.21 | 'Might be even better than the first LP of Jaar and Harrington!'
Hang on... Nicolas Jaar? Yeah I'm checking this before the year is out. Probably tomorrow in fact! | Demon of the Fall
12.15.21 | P.S. checking Rios and it is quite nice at times, mostly pretty chilled/not invasive... maybe too much so. Not sure. | Trifolium
12.15.21 | Oh nice, good decisions Demon! Two lovely records.
The Rios one is so intense and there is so much going on even in those more quiet moments, totally in love with it. | Demon of the Fall
12.15.21 | I must be listening to it wrong then, wouldn't be the first time! | dedex
12.15.21 | heyo y'all listen to the Clara Malaterre record thx xoxo | Trifolium
12.15.21 | Hihihihhiihhi dedex πππππππ
And perhaps you just don't like it Demon, that's possible too.... π§ | Demon of the Fall
12.15.21 | I like it alright... just don't LOVE it (yet?)
In altogether weirder news it appears I may like Bruno Mars now | Trifolium
12.15.21 | Whaaaaaaa~~~~~~! Bruno Mars!!! Don't you mean: Bruno Pernadas?!!! | Pikazilla
12.15.21 | Bruno PiΓ±atas is good | Trifolium
12.15.21 | And Elite Four Bruno is a powerhouse that you just blow away with water or grass!!! | Demon of the Fall
12.15.21 | Bruno Pernades > Bruno Mars obvs, just saying Mars is actually not that bad in the year 2021, apparently
Also elite 4 Bruno is absolutely not good and probably the weakest elite 4 trainer ever conceived because his team is mostly slow and/or very limited. | Trifolium
12.15.21 | Super mega true RE Elite Four Bruno, I don't know but I'll check RE Mars Bruno, mega super true RE Pernadas Bruno.
So many Brunos all of a sudden π΅ | dedex
12.15.21 | yah elite 4 bruno weak af | NorthernSkylark
01.10.22 | Tell me master is your list done?
Also listening to 45 right now and itβs pretty sweet. | Trifolium
01.10.22 | Yeah it's nice! Will revisit it one of these days, thanks for reminding me.
There still is so much catching up to do I think I'm going to skim through it a little and then call it a day. Need to be in the mood though. Hope it strikes soon. | NorthernSkylark
01.10.22 | Itβs really nice to be all done with actively seeking out eoty material tbh. Not that my list is definitive. But itβs just nice to leave the year behind and take a little music quest break before the New Years great releases start flowing all over againβ¦ | Trifolium
01.10.22 | Yeah exactly. It never ends, we need breaks now and then. | Pangea
01.18.22 | relistening to john trejada, such a cool album! | Trifolium
01.18.22 | Nice! It is super cool indeed. He has this nice flow and ear for melody but always keeps it simple. Lovely artist.
Have you heard 85 Pan? You might enjoy that one too! | Pangea
01.18.22 | i have not! it sounds nice
already swamped with my 2021 catch up though aaaaahhhhhhh | Pangea
01.18.22 | but i will make room! | Trifolium
01.18.22 | Omg yes I know what you mean I have not yet dared unearth my '2021 to listen to' list.... EEEEEEK π¬β‘ | budgie
01.18.22 | shit thread | Trifolium
01.18.22 | But buuuudgieeeee how can it be SHIT if you are HERE?????!!!? π€ | Egarran
01.18.22 | Budgie is a walking contradiction | budgie
01.18.22 | requin chagrin has been my jam for the past 5 months so i grant u that | Trifolium
01.18.22 | πͺπΌπ₯π₯π₯ | Egarran
01.18.22 | Time for bed, trif?
Budgie, join us? | Trifolium
01.18.22 | Yes it is! And there's room for more ππ₯° | Egarran
01.18.22 | I just really wanna give budgie the biggest and warmest and sweatiest hug | Trifolium
01.18.22 | ππ
Goodnight you lovelies! | budgie
01.19.22 | πππππππππππ | Trifolium
01.19.22 | Crying because of sadness, pain, happiness, frustration, or none/all of the above? | budgie
01.19.22 | im just generally sad rn | Trifolium
01.19.22 | Ah. Yes that happens. Virtual hugs are coming your way, hope they might be of assistance. Know that we love you from a distance. | Lord(e)Po)))ts
01.19.22 | Good list | Trifolium
01.19.22 | Good visit ππ | Egarran
01.19.22 | I didn't even know they still made house albums | z00sh
01.20.22 | I really like the inclusion of 30 and 43. | Trifolium
01.20.22 | Oh yeah they do make house albums π
30 was so lovely agreed, one of the best from last year. | rellik009
01.20.22 | hell yes
these albums are looking lovely | Trifolium
01.20.22 | Yippeeeee you're here rellik!!!
They are pretty lovely! | Demon of the Fall
01.20.22 | 84 made it, nice!
when's your 2022 edition starting? hehe | Trifolium
01.20.22 | Yes 84 is so good! Really liked it.
I've yet to start checking 2022 stuff, and I will first wait until I have at least 4 or so entries before opening the new one! So it'll be a few more days. Hopefully next week! | Demon of the Fall
01.20.22 | Oooooh, looking forward to that then!
I have 6 already (if I'm being conservative), could probably double that if I'm including anything decent.
Should probably start my own as things will get messy. | Trifolium
01.20.22 | Yes it's a nice way of keeping track. It certainly helps when deciding what to listen to for instance, if you'd like to hear something recent you loved but can't remember what's on offer. (This happens a lot... π΄πΌ) | Demon of the Fall
01.20.22 | I was planning on relying on RYM for such things (my 2022 only account), but I haven't worked out what I'm doing yet (doh!)... just looks like one cumbersome list currently, a list which will only become more cumbersome as it grows!
So yeah, that'll happen, it certainly has before! | Pangea
01.20.22 | oh wait someone is tessa rose jackson? i know her, there was a song from hers i really liked about 8 years ago haha | Trifolium
01.20.22 | Yes she is! I didn't know her before this one, but that album certainly left me wanting more.
Yeah that would probably work nicely Demon. It's also quite a thing to keep updating indeed. | budgie
01.20.22 | wtf is this | Trifolium
01.20.22 | A love letter to YOU. Look at what happens when you read just the first letters of these albums! π€π―ππ | Pangea
01.20.22 | it's a very nice album for sure | Trifolium
01.20.22 | Also please please please budgie check 81!!
You mean 85 Pan? Glad you dig it (if so)! And agreed obviously. | Egarran
01.20.22 | > Look at what happens when you read just the first letters of these albums!
omggg |
