Ahead of running down the ten most interesting albums of 2017, here are some others absolutely worthy of your attention:
Michael Head & The Red Elastic Band – Adios Senor Pussycat
Ex-Shack genius kicks the booze, remembers a dozen plus one bittersweet songs cached in the corners of his mind and turns in the comeback record of the year.
Wolf Alice – Visions Of A Life
Bigger, better and more ambitious than it’s predecessor, Visions Of A Life went anywhere and did anything, it’s bite just as full of pent up energy as it’s bark.
Bonobo – Migration
A decade and a half since he began DJ’ing in Brighton, Migration rightfully confirmed Simon Green as one of electronic music’s foremost artists, a deft collage of textures, voices and styles, postcards written during three years of being near stateless whilst touring the globe.
Sea Pinks – Watercourse
Credit the Belfast trio; with the C86 brand of “indie” ostensibly as dead as corduroy their one band revival was as brilliantly observed as it was infused with witty, melodic pop.
The Voice Of Unreason
