To save you from all the preamble, you can read about why I'm a year late to this on The Music of 2015. This is still as relevant as ever, and I'm still as self-indulgent as ever. But if you're here, you probably don't mind that anyway. With that in mind, here's the music I've heard of from 2016 that I still listen to and love. Obviously there's more than this, but this is the good stuff.

Listen to: Pia Mater
Dance Gavin Dance - Mothership
Listen to: Deception

Listen to: I always thought that one day everything would be settled, but everything just went black.
