THE ESSENTIAL
ALBUMS OF 2015
Jamie xx
In Colour
“It’s the dazzling culmination of Jamie xx’s last six
years of work, gathering up elements of everything
he’s done and packing them tightly into a glittering
ball that reflects spinning fragments of feeling
back at us.” -
Pitchfork
Kendrick Lamar
To Pimp a Butterfly
“Let’s give it up to the astounding thicket of
music here, the best-produced rap since the
dawn of Drake.” -
Spin
Don McGlashan
Lucky Stars
“This is McGlashan exploring the journey
he’s been on with poetic honesty and where
his discoveries are shared with compassion.
Quite exceptional.” -
STACK
Mel Parsons
Drylands
“Parsons’ third is as confident, mature and
consistent an album on the cusp of folk,
folk-rock and country as anyone has a right to
hear.” -
Elsewhere
Chris Stapleton
Traveller
“Old-school country mixed with Southern
rock, a voice like a soul singer and no flashy
production… each of the album’s 14 tracks
go straight for the emotional jugular.”
-
Rolling Stone
Neil Young
Bluenote Café
“
Essential Neil Young, and further evidence
that Young’s ‘80s work has more value than
many fans and critics would expect or admit.”
