the FRKWYS vol. 7 she collaborated on is my fave thing:

but i also preferred her tape on nna, 'antenna'. generally i liked her more ethereal, ambient stuff to the beat driven work on 'hour logic'. this is also p good imo:

also since we're talking frkwys the blues control/laraaji (vol. 8) has been heavy rotation for me

holy other - touch

holy other remind me of a lot of stuff i've loved from the last couple years, the burial four tet collab and how to dress well in particular. parties through smoke, the gutted aftermath. i mean its sortof a cliche, the fractured voices struggling into language, the looming bassline, but it has a silky sensuality you don't always get with this. a grim, broken glamour.

Think I already posted elsewhere but the Sapphire Slows album on NNF is one of the best things they've released this year:

This doesn't fit in with any of the other music on this thread but it suits the title I think. Except it's me posting.
This is a link to a download and pay what you like split album by Desert Island Dicks and Where Woodwose Walk called Clearance Sale
They're both from Glasgow and I found it through the Zavvi/Amoebic Industries bandcamp. Here's some blurb:
Desert Island Dicks and Where Woodwose Walk team up to reflect on the ongoing global financial crisis that started in the late 2000s. Across ten tracks (including one collaboration) named after British retail chains that went into administration following the crisis, the two groups use noise, drones, field recordings, sampling and live instrumentation to explore connections between the current malaise and the Great Depression of the 1930s. Train sounds, Cisco Houston, news reports, Woolworths, Zavvi, "Buddy, Can You Spare A Dime?", corporate malfeasance and T.S. Eliot all come together for the first time in what critics are already calling "Capitalist Realism in a disused arms factory". The two groups have pledged to make an accompanying follow-up album in the event of a double-dip recession.

Still discovering new stuff and throwing my draft EOY ballot into disarray...
The Hauschka & Hildur Guðnadóttir album is very pretty:

i like these guys. more explicitly indebted to anco than most stuff in this vein. its got this eerily unhurried vibe, even as the vocalist chokes and splutters away.

spent some of the money my dad sent me on this record i like how little it presumes, how resolutely minor and low key a record this is, how it fades and stutters and never quite works up the courage to ask for yr attn
