New music special: best of 2019

Best new album releases of 2019

I bought 23 new releases in 2019. By definition I like them all or I wouldn't have parted with the cash. But keeping with the end of the year / best of vibe, here's my top nine in order of purchase. On another day it might have been a different selection (in fact, having listened to it this morning, I'm now thinking Bob Mould's Sunshine Rock should've been in there...so sorry Bob)

Snapped Ankles - Stunning Luxury

Sharon Van Ettan - Remind Me Tomorrow

The Specials - Encore

Peter Perrett - Humanworld

Fontaines DC - Dogrel

Ride - This Is Not A Safe Place

Jesca Hoop - Stonechild

Wild Billy Childish - Last Punk Standing

The Murder Capital - When I Have Fears
