The 2015 Albums of the Year
So here it is the greatest music this year has had to offer:
20. Unknown Multi Orchestra - Multi-Love
The new age of psych-rock is upon us and Ruban Nielson's outfit are steadily building a name for themselves alongside fellow contempories Tame Impala and Pond. Ramping up the funk on a record about the pleasures and pains of a love triangle UMO's third is an album that hits first time but also gets better with every subsequent listen.
Start with: Can't Keep Checking My Phone.
19. A$AP Rocky - At.Long.Last.A$AP
Turn on, tune in and drop out as Rocky turned his gaze towards lysergic, drug themed lyrics and beats. Fluid and languid but still carrying a punch this was a statement record in a year of statement hip hop albums. Packed with Rocky's usual arrogance and braggadocio but also hitting on the tunes front this is a rewarding listen.
Start with: Everyday (Feat. Rod Stewart, Miguel & Mark Ronson)
