The Top 50 Albums Of 2016
The LPs that made a mark this year
10 Youandewan 'There Is No Right Time' (Aus Music/Simple)
The absorbing nuances of this fuzzy debut from the Yorkshire producer made it a late entry into our 10 best of the year.
9 James Blake 'The Colour In Anything' (Polydor)
In a world of snackable content, Blake's music takes time. But we were more than happy to give ourselves over to this exquisitely produced record time and again.
8 Jessy Lanza 'Oh No' (Hyperdub)
Lanza's second took off very much where her first left off, but added an assuredness, and in 'It Means I Love You', created the perfect intersection of pop and footwork.
7 Floorplan 'Victorious' (EPM Music/M-Plant)
Filter disco, jacking house and gospel; the calling cards of Floorplan's second album were obvious, but the panache in the delivery was something else.
6 Anohni 'Hopelessness' (Rough Trade)
The Anthony And The Johnsons vocalist teamed with HudMo and Oneohtrix Point Never for an album gargantuan in scope, power and ambition, yet intensely personal too.
