Best Albums of 2013 - Number 1: Forest Swords – 'Engravings'

The Neo-pychedelia of Matthew Barnes’ Forest Swords brought an emotional, dreamlike haze with this ambient dub record. Spinning the similar dark atmosphere of previous records, this maintained Barnes’ ethereal beauty but with a starker experimental edge. Hard to call with so many great releases (James Holden, The Haxan Cloak, Dean Blunt, Julia Holter) but this was my album of the year.
