2016 in music is encapsulated in Flotus by Lambchop, The Catastrophist by Tortoise, the discovery of the Japanese band Minami Deutsch, The Life of Pablo by Kanye West (a watershed moment), the essential Bowie, Cave, Cohen, the remake of Górecki's Third Symphony by Colin Stetson, Sleaford Mods, vaporwave compilations, and rummaging through the past, including solo albums by Colin Newman, Devo, Residents, This Heat, and an abundance of Swell Maps, along with some unfortunate outsiders (Trimble, Ackles, Ayers, Jandek, Basho), the inevitable Kozelek in all its forms, and 40 LPs acquired. Albums of 2016: Flotus by Lambchop.
