I ranked 20, without lots of thought, and then listed a bunch of other records that I've really like so far this year. Another terrific year for music.
1. Horsegirl - Phonetics On and On (Matador)
2. SPELLLING - Portrait of My Heart (Sacred Bones)
3. Nadia Reid - Enter Now Brightness (Chrysalis)
4. Bartees Strange - Horror (4AD)
5. Stereolab - Instant Holograms on Metal Film (Warp)
