Not sure it counts as 'kraut' per se, but I love the Cavern of Antimatter album 'Hormone Lemonade'. Deffo one of my albums of the year. If you've not heard it have a listen....https://cavernofanti-matter.bandcamp.com/album/hormone-lemonade
Though pitchfork seem to agree.......https://www.albumoftheyear.org/genre/97-krautrock/2018/pitchfork/
Maybe the BEAK >>> album carries the torch somewhat. https://beak.bandcamp.com/album/-
And the new Cave album 'Always' has it's own wonderful syncopation and motorik moments...https://cave.bandcamp.com/album/allways have a listen to the track Beaux.
Latest LIARS record 'Titles With The Word Fountain' isn't really Kraut as we understand it, but it deffo incorporates Krauty elements into the mix. It's a vinyl or DL only release, from the same sessions as last years 'TFCF' release, though a little less straight forward than that record. Few samples up on amazon...https://www.amazon.co.uk/Titles-Word-Fountain-Tfcf-Deluxe/dp/B07GF9BCW8/ref=tmm_msc_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1541463647&sr=1-1
Datashock 'Kräuter der Provinz' probably for fills the Kraut definition in 2018 best (well, also being German I guess.) Great album with some brill moments. https://datashock.bandcamp.com/album/kr-uter-der-provinz-2
Vanligt Volk - KESS09?/?KM052 'Hambo'. This is a weird but interesting record, Swedish trad spoken folk with simple electronics, kinda like D.A.F..... https://vanligtfolk.bandcamp.com/album/kess09-km052-hambo
Particularly love the tracks (O) Hambo , TKO and Grisebassen
Bet our own Squids new Black Tempest collab fits the bill well too, though I've not had the money to buy it yet.
Those DOPE albums/DL's probably qualify as kraut to some extent (sure you have them anyway:)
Sure other HH folk will have great suggestions too.
