The best pop album I hear this year so far. And it is such a treat that music like this is released under the roof of Ninja Tune. We all mature together.
The Heavy – Hurt & the Merciless
The Last Shadow Puppets – Everything You’ve Come To Expect
Moderately interesting pop-rock music but there are some good tracks I cannot deny, like Aviation. The music video of which I cannot make much sense of though.
Tacocat – Lost Time
Summer breeze, pop punk.
Max Richter – Sleep Remixes
Max Richter created a composition called Sleep, which is 8 hours long. There are a few occasions when it is played in its entirety live. Could be one beautiful experience to listen to it played all the way long. Anyhow there is a remixes album with the remixes of three segments making fifteen pieces altogether. It is just wonderful. Although I am always stuck at the first piece called Path 5 and its Mogwai and Digitonal remixes. Stunning, soothing, a cradle, a womb. I haven’t felt this way for an ambient song for a long time.
Guy Andrews – Our Spaces
Experimenting around electronics this album is heavy, atmospheric, deep, powerful. Has a certain world-creating feel to it like that of the Fuck Buttons, but with certain patches of softness, like a caring god touch the void with hands able to destroy yet also create tender lives.
Massive Attack – Ritual Spirit
It’s a new Massive Attack ouptut. What else could I add.

Thug Entrancer – Arcology
Science-fiction electronic music. I see distant low-poly planets and orbiting geometrical structures but no suns just suble light barely outlining the shapes in the deep space. Best sci-fi music this year so far.
The KVB – Of Desire
Dark melodies of goth always surprise me when heard on a new record. And now KVB can do this perfectly in 2016. And thus yet another year pushed forward in the history of goth rock because there are still new gems shining the shades of black to be found in this world.
MMTOHS – Luneworks
Slow, ambient, deep techno, intelligent electronic music. Huge soul, embracing, intimate.
Heathered Pearls – Body Complex
Pumping house and beatless ambient. Calm, quiet, whispering, breeze. Feels nice.
