Ghost – Prequelle
Sleep – The Sciences
Sumac – Love In Shadow
Lil Wayne – Tha Carter V
High On Fire – Electric Messiah

Not a fan of shoegaze but Holy Fawn is interesting. Doomgaze or something along those lines. Will have to give Death Spells another listen.

I didn't even know Esperanza Spalding had a new album out. Damn, must check it out today.

Edit: Wow, Ok. I'm skipping through a few songs and I can already tell that this is going to be really good.

ES is playing the whole album on this Fall 2018 tour. (wouldn't that be cool if does that too(l)
The physical disc/vinyl doesn't come out until March 2019.
At the SF show last month, she signed copies of new album after the performance (usb drive inside a cd case).
The vid's are lame but the hand squirming into her ear on 'With Others' reminds me of the squirmin' worm-thang in the Vicarious vid
Longing deep down inside is
Fucking hard
It's fucking hard
It's fucking hard
To be
It is fucking hard to be longing
And at the same time feel your own belonging
-Makes one think of this board waiting for the new Tool album to bust out

Yob - Our Raw Heart
Crippled Black Phoenix - Great Escape
Author & Punisher - Beastland
Dylan Carlson - Conquistador
Future Usses - The Existential Haunting
Ken mode - Loved
Daughters - You Won’t Get What You Want
Death Grips - Year of the Snitch

Honorable Mention:
Jon Hopkins - Singularity
Tim Hecker - Konoyo
Aphex Twin - Collapse EP
Black of Thought - Streams of Thought Volume 1 & 2 (best rap album(s) of year, yes...better than Kamikaze.....)
Deafheaven – Ordinary Corrupt Human Love
