THE BEST MUSIC OF 2016 with Alfred Gorman

1. Angel Olsen – My Woman

A fascinating artist, with an incredible singular voice, Olsen’s evolution in sound and style over the course of one EP and three LPs in the last five years has been remarkable. Emerging on the scene as a melancholic indie-folk, acoustic act, she has grown into much more, My Woman sees her step fully into the spotlight, proving to be her biggest and boldest album yet, with some of her best songwriting and lyricism.

2. Radiohead – A Moon Shaped Pool

 

3. David Bowie – Blackstar

4. De La Soul – and the Anonymous Nobody

5. A Tribe Called Quest – We Got It from Here… Thank You 4 Your Service

6. DMAs – Hills End

7. The Avalanches – Wildflower

8. DJ Shadow – The Mountain Will Fall

9. Nick Cave – Skeleton Tree

10. Bon Iver – 22, A Million
