Our 50 Favourite Albums from 2016!! // Part one

As with previous years we've (well I've, Eric, truth be told) compiled a list of the 50 albums that hit our ears just right over the last 300-some days. As usual it's pretty idiosyncratic and a little off the top of the head, so there's bound to be a lot of titles forgotten, overlooked, unfairly ignored. Sorry. But we can assure you that these 50 are very much worth your time.

They are in alphanumerical order, and here are the first ten:

1991 - No More Dreams (Self Released)

 

 
Adam Bryanbaum Wiltzie - Salero (Erased Tapes)

 
A Winged Victory for the Sullen - Iris (Erased Tapes)

 
Amber Arcades - Fading Lines (Heavenly)

 
Andy Shauf - The Party (Arts & Crafts)

 
Angel Olsen - My Woman (Jagjaguwar)

 
ANOHNI - Hopelessness (Secretly Canadian)

 
Benji Hughes - Songs in the Key of Animals (Merge)

 
Besnard Lakes - A Coliseum Complex Museum (Jagjaguwar)
