The LCD Soundsystem record was good

Sorry

Run The Jewels - RTJ3

That and Skeleton Tree were the only new albums I listened to last year, so them.

Kamasi Washington - Harmony of Difference
Kojey Radical - In God's Body
Actress - AZN
Richard Spaven - The Self
Stuff. - Old dreams new planets
Aldous Harding - Party
Colin Stetson - All this I do for glory
Visible Cloaks - Reassemblage
Laura Marling - Sempa Femina

I really really enjoyed Richard Spaven but I can't say there is a standout record or anything that feels particularly important this year.
