New Boards of Canada is definitely a competitor. I didn't even really have time to process it fully, but Christ... What a dark, beautiful nightmare it appears to be.
When the new Kanye comes out, this is going to be one of the biggest years ever in terms of "most anticipated" albums. So far it's delivering like crazy. My top five albums change every week, but new Lips, MBV, Daft Punk, Boards of fucking Canada, and even a new Nine Inch Nails by year's end? Gotta be some kind of record for rekindled sonic nostalgia.
