BAMS 2015: Were we even at the same year?

Now, I definitely wasn’t going to do a list of favourite records this year, because I hadn’t put in the legwork (earwork?) as usual, etc., etc. I apologised to Mike, and he said ‘oh go on’, so I did after all, hoping to bolster The Chills into a good position as I knew he loved Silver Bullets too. And do you know what? It wasn’t enough. In fact, nothing in my list made it into their list at all. Theirs is over there, with lots more on Twitter too; and here are the lovely seeds I cast upon their cold hard ground:

1. Max Richter – Sleep
2. The Chills – Silver Bullets
3. Robert Forster – Songs To Play
4. Four Tet – Morning / Evening
5. Ela Orleans – Upper Hell
6. Rozi Plain – Friend
7. This Is The Kit – Bashed Out
8. Twerps – Range Anxiety
9. Mdou Moctar – Akounak Tedalat Taha Tazoughai OST
10. Flying Saucer Attack – Instrumentals 2015
