I'm finishing out the year with my favorite albums of 2019:
25.
HÆLOS - Any Random Kindness
On their second album, UK band HÆLOS expands on their trip-hop inspired sound by going widescreen and technicolor.
24.
Telefon Tel Aviv - Dreams Are Not Enough
This year, Josh Eustis released the first Telefon Tel Aviv album since the death of founding member Charlie Cooper. It is a haunting meditation on death and mourning.
23.
Octo Octa - Resonant Body
Blissed out rave tracks keep this set of tracks moving at light speed.
22.
Rhi - The Pale Queen
If James Blake and Lana Del Rey had a love child, it would definitely be Rhi. Her smoky vocals effortlessly float over hazy electronics.
21.
Mannequin Pussy - Patience
Philly's Mannequin Pussy has put down one of the best rock records of the year. They perfectly mesh punk fury with emo vulnerability.
