Alice Ivy – I dream
While looking as fresh as a (new) daisy (age), Alice Ivy of Melbourne also remembers the crazy days of chilltronica of the 90s ( Bent, Lemon Jelly, The Avalanches). But better!
His long-running debut draws on his stage energy and exploit an impressive number of guests: E ^ ST, Bertie Blackman, RaRa. There are very few musical contemporaries currently in the Ivy League.
"A coherent and hallucinogenic whole." – Tim Kroenert

Cope Camp – How to Socialize and Make Friends
It seems moving to me that while I write this text, the musical media in Australia are engaged in an important conversation, fighting violence against women.
This album reminds us of the important role we all need to play in ending a toxic culture and the importance of opposing daily injustices.
"It is the combination of melodic bass lines, raw vocals that evoke a deep emotional response, honest and powerful lyrics, and authentic tales." – Madelyn Tait

Headrest Car – At first glance, 'record technically first self-published in 2011'; might seem out of place on a list of 'best of 2018' albums. We have already mentioned that remaking Twin Fantasy seemed a strange choice for Will Toledo, given the sharp transition from Bandcamp darling to the great label that he achieved with the sets Teens of 2016.
Of course, none of these opinions resists the reality of the revised vision of Toledo, Twin Fantasy (Face to Face) . The guy has designed a great opus and, despite the results, he had to settle for the best efforts of a 19-year-old bedroom producer. Returning with the experience of an adult prodigy, he repainted all the exhilarating feeling and wounded lyricism that made it a cult classic on the scale that he initially imagined.
" Like all the best intellectual works of Toledo, almost existential feelings abound – as he was trying to get to the bottom of the riddles of life through rock & # 39; n 'roll, a noble enterprise indeed. "- Steve Bell

Cardi B – Invasion of Privacy
The Cardi B of the Bronx (aka Belcalis Almanzar ) brings impertinent punchlines, clever rhymes and confessional lyricism to its much anticipated debut, Invasion Of Privacy – defying those who view it as a flash-in pot with the trap Bodak Yellow (and presumably every single hit since). The barbaric personality of Almanzar shines Invasion … while she reflects on life, feminist love and empowerment
Binderella shows an awareness of acute self ( Get Up 10 ). But she also puts her talents as rapper and storyteller (by the way, her familiarity with hip-hop of the 90s impresses). Almanzar defends himself against guests like Migos, Chance The Rapper and SZA. Inevitably, Invasion … is great on his gangster brand "bangsta bitch"
Yet, she becomes groovy on jam R & B Kehlani-featuring Ring – l & # 39, one of several songs alludes to romantic negligence and infidelity. And Almanzar delights from his Latin roots on the salsa-trap I Like It (with Bad Bunny and J Balvin). A manifesto of the girl

A man of trust – A confident music for a confident people
If you have not had the chance to see these guys live – Hello boy, you're missing. Directed by Janet Planet and Sugar Bones, the album is just a brilliant and beneficial pop music that we can not stop boogie from too. Get off your ivory tower and stop trying to fight it. Embrace confidence … the man
"Too cowardly, so-called supposedly unauthentic for some, the man of trust has, to this day, ingeniously ingenious in his fight against conventionality. " – Christopher H James

Courtney Barnett – Tell Me How You Really Feel
2017 saw Barnett release a small collaborative album, Lotta Sea Lice ] with professional guitarist Kurt Vile. And even though it was a pretty little project and all, we are happy that Melbourne's favorite hiker is back with another great album, Tell me how you really feel . It's a working hold full of typical Courtney-isms like rhyming "meditation" with "medicine" while channeling the spirit of rock slacker through his bendy guitar playing. The fans of The Breeders will be delighted to know that she has brought a certain pair of twin sisters for the tour too.
"Courtney Barnett's work is delicious – and this album is another musical treat." – Liz Giuffre
DF [19659034] Cousin Tony's New Firebird – Electric Brown
Inviting but spatially, a sometimes bewildering combo, Electric Brown is pretty much near the place of a name "
Cousin Tony's first album has the impression of sinking into a cozy living room of the '70s and star gazing through retro-tinted glasses tinged with pink. The Lachy Rose Frontman called it the crystallization of the group's earlier ideas and efforts, "Not in a way that is perfect, just in a unique way". Kosmische synths bouncing back and forth with space rock duels, it is truly unique.
"It sounds like an album for the public of 2018 that was written and recorded in 1973. No feat." – Rod Whitfield
SW [19659039] Ghost – Prequelle
Prequelle signals a smooth and melodic return to form for the Swedish tank destroyer Ghost, with their fourth album seeing them disappearing the masked shtick of many fans
The LP channels a multitude of elements – 80s rock vibes with dark and somber shades and even a saxophone solo at some point – while remaining faithful measured riffs and flying voices. with. The leader Tobias Forge is about to open Ashes proving once again that he is a "convincing singer who can manipulate emotions with a simple change of voice and whose lyrics Subversive "

Florence and the Machine – High as Hope
Oh Florence. Beautiful Florence with a broken heart. Intensely personal opening chords, with this, Welch's fourth offer and his machine, we are invited to bring down the rabbithole in life after sorrow.
It's majestic. It's mundane. It's the tearing of your clothes and the passage of a field opening your arms towards the heavens.

Gurrumul – Djarimirri
At a time when indigenous languages and cultures are increasingly vulnerable, the fusion of Geoffrey's traditional songs and yolngu songs Gurrumul Yunupingu creates such arrangements. A harmonious and deeply moving set that really feels revolutionary in its beauty.
Although his friends and collaborators have already said more than ever about the enduring legacy of Arnhem Land singer and his bitter-sweet final statement, he is more than worthy of a last album of a real australian icon.
"Such a well-formed and joyful album released posthumously allows for truly bitter-sweet listening." – Guido Farnell
SW
High Voltage – Purge [19659007] Having mastered the thrash punk on previous efforts, the Melbourne Rockers High Tension take a heavier turn with the album number three, injecting a good dose of m and again into their already chaotic and hypnotic sound.
Thrash and alt-metal set the stage for singer Karina Utomo to unleash a scorching reproof of the anti-communist purge of the 1960s.

"[ Blend Inn ] will probably prove to be a pivotal moment in looking at the end of a long road for them as a group." – Matt MacMaster
DF [19659070] J Cole – KOD
Alongside Kendrick Lamar, J Cole epitomizes classic hip-hop lyricism and social commentary in the midst of an era of cloud rappers "Lil" preoccupied with nihilistic inner narratives. Its dark, and, at 50 minutes, economical, fifth album, KOD emanates from a postindustrial America increasingly dependent on prescription pills like Xanax and indebted to materialism, social media, and toxic behaviors. Indeed, the title is an acronym for alternatively "Kids On Drugs", "King OverDosed" or "Kill Our Demons".
Although signed to the Jay-Z Roc Nation, Cole has always asserted his autonomy. He serves both MC and producer. On KOD Cole again adheres to a jazz-hop aesthetic, but the title track (and first single) is post-trap. Crucially, he continues to disavow traits – the only guest here is his alter-ego kiLL edward. As such, KOD is uncompromising – and unflattering. Cole shares some wise ideas for achieving US equality through tax reform in BRACKETS . He directly dissects a culture of drug addiction on the powerful AMIS . But, most importantly, Cole advises these Lil rappers (notably Lil Pump) in 1985 (Intro To The Fall Off) – The early 1945 sampling of Kanye West We Do not Care . C
Jack White – Reach Boarding House
Dividing fans and critics with his third experimental solo show, troubadour rock, Jack White gives a wink to the history of the Rock'n'roll and the Boarding House Reach and that means we get the big tick from us.
"We have always considered that Jack White was a separate competitor at birth for Willy of Johnny Depp, Wonka, and this collection of songs is as spooky as the fictional character of Roald Dahl." – Bryget Chrisfield

Kamasi Washington – Heaven and Earth
After releasing the sprawling three-disc monster The Epic in 2015, it is understandable that Kasmasi Washington wanted to rest a bit.

"It's a well thought out album, incredibly product that is certainly hard to criticize." – Keira Leonard
DC
Marlon Williams – Embracing Love
If art is expression, Marlon Williams does it well when he croaks. " Too late, too late to tell you that I am going to build a world around you ". It's really rare to see a broken heart so completely revealed for inspection. Throughout Embracing Love Williams is sad, threatening, lost, imploring – and most importantly never stumbling into self-pity – and his tenor pure and choral is perfect for carrying weight.
And if you still need to shed a tear or two, a devastating duet No one wants more than he likes – with Aldous Harding, another New Zealand singer-songwriter Album's inspiration – "Williams stands in the foreground and strives to make sense at the end of a deep relationship and to reconcile his new future with hopes. and expectations now redundant.

Neko Affair – Hell-On

Hell-On presents an incredible array of guests and admirers from Mark Lanegan at k.d. lang, but finally it's the voice and the writing of Case that makes this album what it is.
Produced by Bjorn Yttling of Peter, Bjorn & John (best known for this sibilant song), Hell-On It is worth listening to those who love a few quality soundscapes and narration in their music.

Ryan Downey – Running
Lushly produced with Steve Hassett of Luluc, Running ] of Ryan Downey is insolent without surpassing, chameleon without feeling dishonest, prodigal but not pretentious. It's pop, rock, folk, and it turns heads.
Downey is one of Melbourne's best-kept secrets for some time, a confusing situation for anyone who meets his silky baritone in the wild. . We will have to replace it by a name change (he played under Venice Music) and the broken arm that led to a sublime but mostly ignored a cappella album. Regardless of the smoke screen in which the singer-songwriter has been wrapped, he is now open.

Stonefield – Away from the Earth
Stoner-rock fans never get enough of it, do not they? It seems that every two weeks "that a" friend of your group sends another Kyuss knockout record or Black Sabbath in your way. Fortunately, Stonefield's Far From Earth music is far from a derivative.
A blurry LP of crisp guitars and burlesque riffs of four Victorian sisters, we think that this one will be the album to finally push them "Still inspired by the sounds of the 70s, Far From Earth is less psychedelic than Stonefield's previous efforts, rooted in the heavy rock world and traditional prog of this decade.
