It’s that time folks! I didn’t make it a top 10 this time around because I don’t think I bought 10 new releases this year (or even close to 10), but hopefully you guys found a lot more worthwhile stuff than I did.

Best of 2021

New Releases:

Floating Points, Pharoah Sanders, and The London Symphony Orchestra - Promises

Archival Releases:

The Gerunds - Hitsville, PA

That’s all I got right now, but maybe y’all will remind me of something else or point me in the direction of something I missed.

Descendents - 9th & Walnut
Down By Law - Lonely Town
The Bronx - VI
Black Valley Moon - Spectral Melodies 7"

Late 2020, but Bill Frisell - Valentine

by **gregpolard** » Thu Nov 18, 2021 10:41 am

Descendents "9th and Walnut"
Dinosaur Jr "Sweep It Into Space"
Iceburn "Asclepius"
Melvins "Working With God"
Quicksand "Distant Populations"
Teenage Fanclub "Endless Arcade"
Tuns "Duly Noted"
Turnstile "Glow On"

These are the new releases I can think of where I bought physical product (vinyl) for all and have listened multiple times and enjoyed.

This is definitely an old man list, minus Turnstile. Oops, I guess?

by **scannest** » Thu Nov 18, 2021 10:58 am

I'll start with Bandcamp and Discogs purchases (they're the easiest to track). In no particular order:

Chris Brokaw - Puritan
Jimmy Montague - Casual Use
Reigning Sound - A Little More Time With...

Wow, that's pretty lame when I look back on it. Thanks, guys!

I placed my order August 17th. I thought three months with no updates warranted an email to label and this is the response I got. I might get my 32 Dischord Box Sets before I get these records!

Okay, I took a look through my Qobuz history, which is giving me a much better picture of what I listened to this year. These records are all pretty excellent, too:

Tonstartssbandht - Petulia
Lindsey Buckingham - S/T
Turnstile - GLOW ON
Cub Scout Bowling Pins - Clang Clang Ho

Still not a top 10, but more respectable.

by **gregpolard** » Mon Dec 06, 2021 9:26 am

Failure "Wild Type Droid" came in just under the wire. No idea when the physical copies drop so maybe it's a 2022 release? But man, it's awesome.

by **gregpolard** » Wed Dec 22, 2021 7:59 am

a couple records that came out this year that I just recently acquired on vinyl and really enjoy that I'd put in a top 10 :

Torres "Thirstier"
Dry Cleaning "New Long Leg"

by **gregpolard** » Mon Dec 27, 2021 9:27 am

Another late entry (in my defense this has only been out a couple weeks)

Snail Mail "Valentine"

It is excellent!

Here's my 10:

Dinosaur Jr. "Sweep It Into Space"
Teenage Fanclub "Endless Arcade"
Turnstile "Glow On"
Quicksand "Distant Populations"
Iceburn "Asclepius"
Melvins "Working With God"
Tuns "Duly Noted"
Dry Cleaning "New Long Leg"
Torres "Thirstier"
Snail Mail "Valentine"

That's 10 that I've listened to now multiple times each and own all on vinyl (Snail Mail hasn't arrived yet)

Failure's new album as I said above would be on there but it's also not out on vinyl yet so I guess technically that's a 2022 release so I'll add it next year LOL

Same; listened to the title track last night and kinda dug it; really wanna hear the rest; good combo of synths and guitars.

One more I am really enjoying that I also slept on (hey - i'm old)

Julien Baker "Little Oblivions". Just great!

These are a few late entries for other 2021 releases that I'm really enjoying at the moment. I only have a physical copy of the War on Drugs 2xLp, but plan to get the others soon.

Fake Names - new 7" (reminded of this a few weeks back when the pre-orders for the 7" were announced; like it even more now)
Snail Mail - Valentine (love this; thanks Greg for the recommendation)
The War on Drugs - I Don't Live Here Anymore (I resisted their charms for a long time, but they've grown on me quite a bit in recent years)
