This year I found it very hard to choose between the top three choices – they are all SO good. In the end took the easy option I went with the order of most listens on last.fm.
\nChoosing albums to go on the list beyond the top dozen on so was also quite difficult. I added 1771 tracks to my iTunes library in 2015 and giving all that music the attention it deserved to make album of the year choices was basically impossible. I’m happy with the list as it stands but it took a concerted effort in the last few weeks of the year to be able to make my choices.<\/p>\n

I think I only attended a couple of gigs this year. The Ex were great at Summerhall, but I had to leave early due to toothache. Low were similarly great at the Glasgow School of Art but it was spoiled by the guy who talked non-stop through the first half of the gig.<\/p>\n

My favourite new-to-me track of the year was Kamikaze by Susanne Sundf\u00f8r<\/a>.
\nMy most listened to track was Lies by Low<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
