You Are the Blood - Sufjan Stevens 

2015 gave us tremendously better music than 2014. Here are those that brought me the most joy (or, especially in the case of Death Grips, elicited the most emotive response). I find it to be a pleasing subject upon which to reflect at the end of the year - hopefully you will agree. 

1) “To Pimp a Butterfly” by Kendrick Lamar

2) “Carrie and Lowell” by Sufjan Stevens

3) “Choose Your Weapon” by Hiatus Kaiyote

4) “Sometimes I Sit and Think, And Sometimes I Just Sit” by Courtney Barnett

5) “Have You In My Wilderness” by Julia Holter

6) “The Powers that B” by Death Grips

7)  ”b’lieve I’m goin down...” by Kurt Vile

8)  “The Epic” by Kamasi Washington

9)  “Aureate Gloom” by Of Montreal

10) “In Colour” by Jamie XX

"I fell in love again all things go, all things go drove to Chicago all things know, all things know we sold our clothes to the state I don't mind, I don't mind I made a lot of mistakes in my mind, in my mind"

-Sufyan Stevens; "Chicago"
