This week, the 2016 albums list returns. 5 more albums to check out, and 5 more artists you may or may not know. Every genre is allowed, no albums off limits. Any recommendations can be placed in the comments. Here they are, 5 more albums to enjoy from 2016.
1. After the Burial – "Dig Deep"
Dedicated to fallen member of the band Justin Lowe. The band continues to shred in an album full of heartfelt lyrics and meaning. Catch After the Burial on tour this fall, they perform a great show.
2. letlive. – "If I’m the Devil…"
letlive. are back. They have taken their unique sound, and all but threw it out the window. In a daring fashion, they have aimed to create an album completely different from anything they have written before.
3. Turnover – "Humblest Pleasures 7in"
Turnover is a band that has been able to push their unique songs into a great live sound. Back following up their successful album Peripheral Vision, Humblest Pleasures provides two new songs to enjoy. Catch them on tour soon.
4. Hoodie Allen – "Happy Camper"
A free album put out by my personal favorite. As I’ve watched Hoodie grow from his small mixtapes to the spotlight stealer, each release is another accolade to his resume. This album is no exception, and continues to resonate with me as his best release to date.
5. Infinity Shred – "Long Distance"
Formerly named Starscream, Infinity Shred has been a big player in the chiptune scene for many years now. "Long Distance" is the follow up to 2013’s "Sanctuary". Infinity Shred has been able to craft space themed ambient works with incredible success, and this record is sure to be another classic in the scene.
More lists to come in the future, but here are five albums that have stood out to me this year. Check back soon for more music to discover and enjoy!
