Listening Habits 2015 05-07


Just before our summer break, we have prepared the list of our favorite albums for the period of May - July 2015, led by Holly Herndon and the wondrous, experimental electronica to be found on her sophomore full-length "Platform". 

The Fall are back with their 31st studio LP "Sub-Lingual Tablet" which, of course, could not be missing from our Top 5, while Giant Sand and Mark Kozelek's Sun Kil Moon are also in there with their latest efforts. 

If you're in the mood to try something new, we would suggest lending an ear to the catchy guitar pop of young Londoners Wolf Alice who make good on the promise of their early singles with debut album "My Love Is Cool". Time to take shelter from the summer heat and hit play:
