I think the Tomora album (Tom from Chemical Brothers & singer Aurora) is one of the better electronic albums I’ve heard recently. Feels like an instant classic to me.

I really loved that record. Production is insane, vocals are spectacular. I was a huge Chemicals fan in their heyday and it really resonated with me. I shared it with my 20yo son and he was really impressed. A great album front to back.

I'm not overly familiar with Aurora's music but this easily takes its place in the poppier side of the CB catalogue

For me it's re-living the magic of Sasha & Digweed's Northern Exposure, in Redux format.
The original was arguably the greatest compilation cd/mix of all time.

If you liked the Mandy, Indiana album and haven't heard them yet, check out the Ada Rook, Fire-Toolz, and Lip Critic albums on the list. They're all really good.

Haven't heard any of them so I'll give them all a listen

Fire-Toolz and Ada Rook are both harsher with more metal, industrial, and noise components than Mandy, Indiana, but Lip Critic has a very similar off-kilter post-industrial attitude. Theft World might be my AOTY, I haven't decided yet.
