Who are these PC people I keep hearing of?

Sorry didn't respond to this earlier. They're a label and they make... kinda parodies of pop songs, or maybe it's just weird subversions.
It's super chipmunk vocally and sorta 8 bit at times. I like it a lot.

Parody Pop.... that is the perfect genre name.

60. Kitten - Kitten

Oh yes, how I love 80s aping music (there will be a LOT of that on my lists). Kitten pulls mostly from the New Romantic and a little bit from the Bubblegum Pop scenes of the 80s. Her voice is surprisingly diverse too which gives the album a nice sense of diversity.

59. Sza - Z

OK, I know this is an EP but it wasn't on my EP list and it's way tooooo damn long to be an EP anyway. So I included it here because I wanted even numbers too. It's a nice addition to the PBR&B pantheon, plus her ad-libby style of lyricism is a nice way for her to stand out

[Drowned_World]

I had no idea Z was an EP. Either way, it's really good! Made my list as well.

[Penk]

I love that Kitten album! She reminds me of Madonna on so many songs.

58. iamamiwhoami - Blue

So basically, this is very similar to everything else she's done, but still, everything else iamamiwhoami is done is pretty solid. Dream-Pop/Synth-Pop crossovers with heavy the Knife influence are common here, so if you like that stuff then listen to it.

57. Death Grips - N****s on the Moon

This is the first disc of the two disc album The Powers That B. It was hyped as a Björk collaboration but it's really more just a casual Death Grips album with Björk vocal samples glitched throughout the whole thing. Definitely not one of their most accessible but it's still a fun listen.

[RatedG²]

YASSSSSSSS @ the Death Grips mention. That's totally going on mine too

[TRF.]

LOVE LOVE LOVE iamamiwhoami and Death Grips (and Björk ), but not even making the Top 50? BYE.



Honestly, TRF.

56. Sylvan Esso - Sylvan Esso

So they sorta have Björk-esque melodies but instrumentally the album recalls recent Indie-Pop male/female duos such as Purity Ring. The vocals also remind me sort of a Jazz-lite Cafe singer but she makes it work.

55. East India Youth - Total Strife Forever

Indie Pop with a hint of Synth-Pop and Ambient. I mean that's sort of a really common thing nowadays, I guess. The hooks on this album aren't honestly that strong aside from a few, but the colors and textures and **** really get me, so I HAD to put it on here.

[Ewan Chaos]

Oh madonnas! You're alive! I'm not surprised you'd pop up for this year's best of listing though.

Good listing so far! I only know about half of the EPs because I don't usually listen to EPs much. Sylvan Esso tho

[Changes]

I remember listening to some snippets of that Kitten album. They were nice, but I just forgot about it.

I think you'd like the Robyn/Royksopp EP a ton!

[ColdKeane]

Death Grips & iamamiwhoami

[Sunderland 4ever]

Coffee is so good. Sylvan's voice has a tender melody I like a lot.

Oh I did indeed. Basically your description for it is exactly how I feel. Sayit >>>>>>

Roisin's was a nice EP too. In Sintesi being the best track of course.

54. SBTKRT - Wonder Where We Land

SBTRKT's sophomore album was not looked upon kindly by the critics, and honestly I can see why. It's a ton more ambitious than his eponymous debut. There are tons of concepts pushed throughout, and honestly a lot of them aren't consistent enough to make this feel like a coherently thought out story. But the album is also a lot more adventurous musically, and I enjoy the bigger and more diverse list of collaborators, musical directions he took, and overall the flow of the album (the best songs are all spread out evenly). If you like UK Garage/Pop crossovers you'll definitely find some stuff you like on this release.

53. Homeshake - In the Shower

Lo-Fi is a hard genre to stand out in. It's easy to get lost among the homogenous pool of artists that make Lo-Fi folk/Rock/Electronic leading recordings, but for whatever reason this Homeshake record stood out to me. All the songs have really intimate, personal feelings to them and give the listener some nice simple sing-songy hooks (of course, the lyrics are completely intelligible). Definitely an album I could take a bubble bath to.

[madonnas]

52. Jungle - Jungle

This album's greatest quality is just how straight forward it is. Indie-Pop acts doing Synth-Pop has been in vogue for a few years now thanks to hits by MGMT and the like, but when you add some Disco guitars and unison singing you get easy listening music with a nice touch. Don't expect any emotional reaction from this, just expect to jam.

51. Avey Tare's Slasher Flicks - Enter the Slasher House

Avey Tare, as opposed to the other Animal Collective member with relevant solo material, is a lot more stacatto and angular as opposed to Panda Bear's more warped and smooth melodies. This definitely works on his side in his solo-ish project. Whereas his other solo ventures were a bit too stagnant for me, the hard hitting hooks throughout all the verses and choruses in Enter the Slasher House give Avey Tare's non-Animal Collective career new life.

[RatedG²]

SBTKRT - Wonder Where We Land

Seriously one of the best albums I've EVER heard

[minho]

Nice so far! I see several albums that will be on my own list and plenty that I need to check out.

I couldn't really get into Blue though Its definitely a nice album, but only like 2 songs stood out to me.
