Best album during the first six months of 2019

Richard Roma

Helado Negro’s was my favourite for a mile.
Sharon Van Etten and Beirut probably 2nd and 3rd respectively.

Also really enjoyed Deerhunter (still kicking myself I missed out on Whelans tickets), Aldous Harding, Broken Social Scene & Karen O/Dangermouse.

Claypool Lennon Delerium's South of Reality by far for me.

UrbanSprawl

DOGREL by Fontaines DC is an obvious one.
You are the Ambulance by Christain Fitness

Gnoomes - Mu!

Nothing else comes even close IMO
