Sleater-Kinney: "No Cities to Love"
Courtney Barnett: "Sometimes I Sit and Think, Sometimes I Just Sit"
Alabama Shakes: "Sound & Color"
Father John Misty: "I Love You Honeybear"
Olafur Arnalds: "The Chopin Project"
Max Richter: "Sleep"
Gina Chavez: "Up.Rooted"
Kamasi Washington: "The Epic"
Others considered for the list:
Leon Bridges "Coming Home"
Calexico "Edge of the Sun"
Didn't listen to music as diligently this year as previous; probably for reasons like distractions by my returning obsession with photography; not so much opportunity to compare notes with my dancing, music-loving daughter as she transplanted to Seattle; and computer woes, ranging from a music server drive crash to the obliteration of a major music library by an errant Mac OS update.
By the way, I noted that Olafur Arnalds made my fav list in a previous year, and I also previously cited Courtney Barnett.
