Roddy Frame - Surf (2002)
While a bit samey - it’s a great samey. Just Mr. Frame and an acoustic guitar. It’s all very mellow and full of wonderfully simple tunes and sentiments.

Stereolab - Fab Four Suture (2006)
A tasteful compilation of 4 Stereolab EPs released between 2005 and 2006. The way this was recorded and compiled from separate recording sessions makes this a very palatable and fresh record indeed.

The XX - The XX (2009)
The song “Heart Skipped A Beat” completely does my head in! This is the entire The Cure’s “Seventeen Seconds” wrapped up in one song.

Portishead - Dummy (1994)
A great way to start the year. This gem, recently purchased on vinyl, sounds as much the outsider as it did 23 years ago.

The Czars - Best Of (2014)
Probably best known for the band that preceded singer John Grant’s solo career, The Czars made a bunch of stunning records years before his fame.
