2019 Half-Year Music Review

In this bonus episode, Isaac and Carter recap the first half of 2019 in music. [Due to recording difficulties, the audio discussion of our top tracks was lost. Carter's audio only will be available as a separate download in the coming days. We apologize for the issue.] Download episode MP3 here Isaac's List: Tracks: 5.  Faithless -  Operators   Apocalyptic neew wave via Born the the USA era Boss.  Recommended for those who want their power ballads to take their time building up. 4. How To Build a Relationship - Flume feat. JPEGMAFIA One of Flume's hardest hitting and most adventurous tracks backing unfiltered JPEGMAFIA attitude. 3. Rylan - The National The excellent studio debut of a live staple for the band.  A highlight off their otherwise bloated album 2. Flat Tummy Tea - Freddie Gibbs & Madlib Perhaps the best performance on an album filled with great contributions by Freddie and Madlib.  More then any other track carries the minimalist sample focused production and transitions which Madlib excels at. 1. Not - Big Thief   The lead single off their second 2019 project, Not delivers on the promise for a rawer and more focused evolution of the mystical indie rock and folk Big Thief initially impressed with. Disappointment: Here Comes the Cowboy - Mac DeMarco Guilty Pleasure (Sort Of): Electric Lady Sessions - LCD Soundsystem Albums: Honourable Mention: Deforming Lobes - Ty Segall & Freedom Band 5. Remind Me Tomorrow - Sharon Van Etten 4. IGOR - Tyler, the Creator 3. Hiding Places - Billy Woods & Kenny Segal 2. Father of the Bride - Vampire Weekend 1.
