“Arca’s self-titled fourth album is an absorbing meditation on sexuality and fetishistic desire, sensuality and identity… The entire album is filled with dichotomies: hearing Arca sing but unsure if you’re ever hearing his true voice seeing his face close up on the cover but discoloured and relatively unrecognisable sharing something personal through dissonance and obscurity.” Amris Kaur (full review here) The Monitors’ Best Albums of 2017 – So Far… Something nice to listen to while the world burns. Seriously, there’s about 24 hours worth of music on there, and we’ll be adding to it throughout the rest of 2017. Well, until it blows up.Īs usual our chosen albums are listed in alphabetical order, and we have a Spotify playlist containing tracks from all the best albums of 2017 and many, many, many other highlights. And maybe it’s the influence of our burgeoning sister site MusicMap, but it’s interesting to see international efforts from Armenia, Mali, Venezuela and further afield in the mix. Seriously, we could’ve doubled it without significantly reducing quality control.

Plus we do this every July so, you know, tradition. Thus, with the ever-increasing chance that we won’t actually make it to the end of the year, we thought we’d have a rundown of the best albums of 2017 so far. With Kim Jong-un celebrating July 4th with “a gift for the American bastards” in the shape of a lovely big missile, while Donald Trump discusses WWIII scheduling with Vladimir Putin, the Doomsday Clock is currently closer to midnight than at any time since 1953.
