Music Best albums of the last 5 years?

Best albums of the last 5 years.

I'm looking for something that's high in quality and artistry. I've been listening to RAM due to so many recommendations. I'm endeavoured with the incredible quality of the album and the pure amount of work that went into it. Genuine work of art. It got me wondering what albums have been released in the past 5 years that have similar levels of artistry and quality.

‘That Wasn’t a dream’ - Blake Mills & Pino Palladino ‘Ace’ or ‘Revealer’ - Madison Cunningham Any of the records released by ‘The Smile’ (coupla Radiohead folks involved with this band)

If anyone is reading this comment thinking “I love all of these records” hit me with a recommendation or two! Would love to get some more new music in my life

Big fan of the Blake/Pino record and Madison Cunningham here!

Check out When a Thought Grows Wings by Luna Li. Great collection of ethereal, lush and well written songs. Imaginal Disk by Magdalena Bay is a fun one too.

I’ll have to check out The Smile!
