Best albums 2018

It’s hard not to hear the post-punk label this year. Like a fashionable postscript, over the course of 12 months we’ve enjoyed the revival of this style with records by Preoccupations, Iceage, los debutantes Shame & Bodega or the more veterans Cloud Nothings & Parquet Courts.As the spearhead of the movement we have the British Idles, that after delivering last year a remarkable debut album such as Brutalism and surprise everyone with an incredible live performance, they give us a blunt and seamless album as outstanding as Joy as an Act of Resistance, with more than enough merits to be our international album of the year 2018.

From the rest of the list, stand out the albums of Low and Janelle Monáe closing the podium, the electronics of Nils Frahm or Nicolas Jaar as A.A.L (Against All Logic), the metal of Zeal and Ardor, Deafheaven & Architects or consecrated bands that over the years continue to deliver high quality records such as Editors, Spiritualized, Suede or Interpol
