I am a music lover, the year is approaching, as a return to the welfare is also sincere, to recommend some of the good music I heard this year, the style of Europe and the United States mainly independent, the original originally serialized in the Zhihu.
1. Ludovico Einaudi
Album name: Elements
Style: Minimalism, Modern Classical
Label: Ponderosa
Originally, I'd been hiding the number one spot in the year's specials for Mr. Schmooze for a long time. Until I heard Master Lu. I also heard this album a week ago, and it's a real stunner. The whole album is beautifully smooth and natural, calming my restless heart, and in one word, 'listening to drunkenness', which is suitable for the end of the year for the dissertation work to calm down the mood of the people who are annoyed.

2. Sufjan Stevens
Album name: Carrie & Lowell
Style: Indie Folk
Factory label: Asthmatic Kitty
The best folk album of the year, this one is probably known by quite a few people.
To be honest, I'm a sucker for the new. But this album by Mr. Shubunki has been at the top of my list of listening times since it came out in March. Unlike Master Ru, who came in at number one, Mr. Sufjan is more focused on recounting some of the finer points about himself, and the album is also about his mother and stepfather, Carrie, who is Sufjan's mother's name, and Lowell, who is Carrie's second husband, Sufjan's stepfather.
"This isn't just a piece of work, this is my life" Sufjan takes the listener through a bittersweet emotional experience on this album with extreme simplicity. From the grief and despair at the time of loss, to the tangled confusion of constantly pondering over memories after the loss, and finally releasing them in realization. （
This album is the first of its kind in the world to be released in the United States, and it's the first in the world to be released in the United States in the United States. The teacher wrote his own thing, but can let the people who listen to the sound of ****, their lives are happy and well-off, but listening to the teacher of the Shu Skinjia murmured in the ear, the heart of some things are pulled out, especially for the sensitive nerves of the people, is really going to be forced to the rhythm of the people minutes to die (fog), although the album is very good, but never listen to me ah, depression do not listen to it.
Netease cloud music hear good time
3. The Maccabees
Album name: Marks to Prove It
Style: Indie Rock
Label: Fiction Records
The Maccabees album seems to be polarized quite seriously. This album seems to be quite polarized, but of course I'm in the pole of special favorites haha. The fact that this album wasn't even nominated for the Mercury Prize this year is one of the major mysteries.
Personal taste recommendation: slow sun, silence, spit it out

4. Tame Impala
Album title: Currents
Genre: Psychedelic Pop, Neo-Psychedelia
Label: Modular Recordings
At first I was in denial when I saw a cover like this one... Mom help me, I'm going to pass out. It's just as psychedelic as the album.
It's a good thing that I'm not a big fan of the album, because I'm not a big fan of it.
To be honest, the opening track Let It Happen is very psychedelic, so psychedelic that when I listened to it for the first time, I even had a feeling of motion sickness (true psychedelia), but the later songs are more pleasing to me, and the whole album as a whole is very strong, and a few of the songs are especially suitable for shaking legs.
5. Champs
Album name: Vamala
Style: Indie Pop
Label: Play It Again Sam
As an 18th-tier band, I got caught up in it by accident and couldn't get out. This album in the major music review site's general comments are general, but from my personal taste, but like can not like again, a large part of the reason is because of the vocalist androgynous voice, for this type of voice has always no resistance, so ...... put him here is also a very selfish, anyway, this is also originally a personal Vamala

6. Motorama
Album name: Poverty
Style: Post-Punk, Jangle Pop
Factory label: Talitres
What defeats age is 'poverty'. (Fog)
Just kidding~~ This one might be a bit niche as well, Motorama is a Russian band, but thankfully it's an English album. The melody of this album is not very moving (anyway, the post-punks don't want to talk about melody), the biggest use of this album is to use it to keep shaking my legs, shaking my legs, shaking my legs, shaking my legs, shaking my legs, shaking my legs, shaking my legs, shaking my legs, shaking my legs, shaking my legs, shaking my legs, shaking my legs, shaking my legs, shaking my legs, shaking my legs, shaking my legs, shaking my legs, shaking my legs, shaking my legs, shaking my legs, shaking my legs, shaking my legs, shaking my legs, shaking my legs. ...)
My personal recommendations: Corona, Red Drop, Lottery

7. Jon Hopkins
Album Name: Late Night Tales
Style: Ambient Techno
Label: Late Night Tales (rough trade)
Now that we've got folk, rock, psychedelia, post-punk, and pop, it's time for a little electronica, and Jon Hopkins has a great reputation for quality. And as a compilation, this one has plenty of volume, and the cover is beautiful, so it's even better when you eat it together. (Note: the 72-minute track on disc1 is a bit of a stretch.)
Personal favorites: Babe, Down To The Sound, Emancipation, Remember (Exclusive Yeasayer cover version), Gillie Amma I Love You
Late Late, Late, Late, Late, Late, Late, Late, Late, Late, Late, Late, Late, Late, Late, Late, Late.

8. Gu Zhongshan
Album name: Pictures
Style: Jazz Fusion
Label: Indie
Jazz is a field as deep as classical. Jazz is a field as deep as classical, and I'm a beginner who's still wandering around, so as an introductory album, Gu Zhongshan is still very suitable and relaxing.

9. Foals
Album name: What Went Down
Style: Indie Rock
Label: Warner Music
To be honest (eek, it feels like this is becoming my mantra ......), the quality of this new Pony album is mediocre, especially compared to its predecessor, and it's a stretch to put it in the top ten. (Crowd: Saying it like the previous ones weren't far-fetched, huh~) Burning Goose for some personal reasons, this one still made the cut, after all, an album with a story can never be too bad. (Hey!) Synthpop
Label: Cosmos Music
Let's go for something a little more dreamy~~
Another very selfish album, I admit, the two beautiful girls on the cover attracted me to a large extent at first, and then after listening to this sound is just my cup of tea, I rarely listen to female albums (from the above pictures). I don't listen to a lot of female albums (from the ones above, you'll notice the almost exclusively male voices, but I'm really not biased, it's just a coincidence), but the voices of these Swedish twins are very appealing to me... dream pop... looks like I've got a teenage girl's heart after all, right? （
Personal taste: Everything We Touch, Hard for a Man, Electrify, Beloved

11. Passion Pit
Album name: Kindred
Genre: Indietronica, Synthpop
Label: Columbia Records
The album with the most eye-catching cover
This is one of those albums where the cover is better than the song. (Crowd: WHAT?!)
Seriously, I don't know why I'm putting this album here, maybe it's because the tone of the cover is just so appealing to me (Goldtooth, you've got to learn from the others) or maybe it's because the news of the lead singer coming out of the closet not too long ago spurred me on (ahhh, how in the world do you break the spell of 70% of oompahs that you follow coming out of the closet? The first time I saw the band, it was a little bit of a surprise to me.)
The album is of average quality, and arguably won on a couple of singles, but it's still a joy to listen to, and one listener commented that they were fostering the "Pit", which is pretty much saying the same thing.
Recommended for personal taste: Lifted Up (1985), All I Want, Looks Like Rain

12. Blur
Album Name: The Magic Whip
Style: Art Rock, Alternative Rock
Label: Parlophone
The most magical album on the cover
Honey,
do you remember the yolks on the banks of Daming Lake?
Do you remember the proper way to make vanilla ice cream?
Do you remember the old grandparents dancing in the cold streets of San Francisco?
And what the hell is up with such a magical cover!!!!
Can you explain it to us first, Goldtooth?!!!!
----- I'm the dividing line between Goldtooth and Noodle CP---... -----
扶额...... let me catch my breath first
blur's big name need not be said by me, even though the re magical cover peripherals and music videos, but a band that hasn't released a new album in 12 years, isn't it the best thing that could have happened to them when they got back together?
Personal Flavor Recommendation:
(Promise me you'll eat this album with the music video.)
European and American Music Video Premiere of Blur's "Go Out"
(Tell me you've learned about vanilla ice cream after you've watched this music video.)
Blur - Ong Ong
(Mr. Egg Yolk saves the Princess, I want to play Super Mario after watching this)

13. Lana Del Rey
Album Name: Honeymoon
Style: Chamber Pop
Style: Chamber Pop
Art Pop
Label: Interscope Records
Most Drunken Albums (Don't Listen While Driving)
It's beautiful...beautiful...beautiful...beautiful...
I'm sorry... I'm out of words for an album that's so beautiful...beautiful...
I don't know how to say it, but it's just that I'm not sure if I can do it right now, so I've got to get back on the road. ...
On the Thunder Sister, before I have always had a preconceived bias: retro, big red lips, funeral song diva ...... perhaps labeled too much instead of blinding their own judgment, just like when the mold as well.
Album delicate, soulful, thundering vocal line to create a strong sense of atmosphere, the song layer by layer, as if in a rose labyrinth, the beginning of a light fragrance, and then slowly walk through them, the aroma is gradually thicker people gradually drunk. Ah, let me get drunk in the 'honeymoon'.
Personal taste recommendation: Honeymoon, High by the Beach, 24
(remember to listen to with red wine Oh ~)

14. Young Fathers
Album name: White Men Are Black Men Too
Style: Abstract Hip Hop, Experimental Hip Hop
Label: Big Dada
Live of the Year
Let's start with the fact that this is a rap album, and that the world of rap I don't get it, put Light Daddy on here purely because the scene is just so lit!!!! One will always be glad that Echo didn't have a lazy tendon attack, and anyone who has seen Echo knows how awesome Light Daddy is live.
Personal taste recommendation:Shame
Young Fathers - Sham
