The Late Junction Albums of the Year

It's that time of the year again when we ask the Late Junction presenters and producers to flick through the releases of the last year and pick their favourite album.

It's that time of the year again when we ask the Late Junction presenters and production team to flick through the releases of 2018 and scroll back through their music libraries to pick their favourite album of the year, presented by Nick Luscombe.

It’s been a year marked by some strong electronic albums, often gritty and uncompromising. But as ever Late Junction goes beyond the trends in the music press, digging deep to find the rough diamonds across a vast range of genres. Expect heart melting avant-folk guitars, conceptual latex-pop, woozy post-R&B and prepared piano that sounds β€˜like someone performing open-heart surgery on a grandfather clock’. But will your album of the year make the list?

Produced by Alannah Chance for Reduced Listening.
