2015 was a stellar music year. Here's the rundown of my 5 favorites:
Shuttle358 // Can You Prove I Was Born
12k
'Shuttle's newest record might be his best. Dreamy soundscapes galore.

Arovane & Hior Chronik // In-Between
A Strangely Isolated Place
I've been an Arovane fan for years. Uwe hadn't released a proper record in that vein since 2004, and this collaboration with Hior Chronik brings out a lot of the classic Arovane sound, deepened and refined for the new decade.

Andrew Weathers Ensemble // Fuck Everybody, You Can Do Anything
Full Spectrum
Andrew has a knack for music that can be all at once highly intricate and punk as fuck. I love this record.

Rachel Grimes // The Clearing
Temporary Residence
Post-Rachel's, this is definitely Grimes' most important work and an absolutely lovely record.

Tiny Leaves // A Certain Tide
Futuresequence
I love it when an absolutely great record is made by an equally great person. This is Joel Nathaniel Pike's magnum opus as Tiny Leaves, and a transforming listen.
