I haven’t posted one of these lists since February, which is far too long. From now on, you’ll find one of these per month: a list of my favorite albums released in any given month or albums I just can’t stop spinning. From the brilliant soul-funk of “Choose Your Weapon” to the gorgeous nostalgia of “Dark Bird is Home,” May has brought some fantastic albums. Sure, some of these records weren’t released in May, but I think exceptions can be allowed when albums as good as Monolord’s “Vaenir” and Anekdoten’s “Until All The Ghosts Are Gone” are still fresh in memory.
- Hiatus Kaiyote, “Choose Your Weapon”
- The Tallest Man on Earth, “Dark Bird is Home”
- Faith No More, “Sol Invictus”
- Steve Von Till, “A Life Unto Itself”
- Anekdoten, “Until All The Ghosts Are Gone”
- Thee Oh Sees, “Mutilator Defeated At Last”
- Amon Tobin, “Dark Jovian”
- Mew, “+-“
- Monolord, “Vaenir”
- Hop Along, “Painted Shut”
