Morgan Delt - s/t
Acquaintance - Satellite Stream
Fenster - The Pink Caves
Black Bombaim and La La La Resonance - s/t
Thee Oh Sees - Drop
Map 71 - s/t (big shout out to Lisa Jayne, aka Hunter T Wolfe's other half!)

Goat - Commune
The Hookworms - The Hum

Disappointment of the year?

Deerhoof - La Isla Bonita, (although I'm still hoping that subsequent listens will yield something I didn't appreciate initially, having loved a couple of their albums prior to this one, and liked most of the others.


Gigs:

Loop / Godflesh (Heaven)
Toy (Shepherds Bush Empire)
Deerhoof (QEH)
Bo Ningen (QEH)
Stephen O'Malley (Bethnal Green Church)
Sly and the Family Drone (Supernormal)

I would have the Black Bombaim / La La La Ressonance album very highly placed too, except I haven't actually bought it yet! I reviewed it from a stream; will rectify after Xmas.

I would have included Map 71 as well of course but for worries of nepotism...

Been trying to catch up with stuff from a while back, so haven't really given 2014 the chance it deserves yet. Stuff I have listened to often enough to really like is probably limited to these at the moment:

Alvvays - Alvvays
Eno/Hyde - both albums
Morrissey - World Peace Is None of Your Business
V/A - Nightingale Variations

Single of the Year:

CTMF - "Punk Rock Enough For Me"
