Best Albums of 2017 (Apple Music)
1. Snowball II - Flashes of Quincy [Doughnut Records]
2017 年に一番聴いたアルバムといえばこれなので、この場所しかなかった。一番注目していたシューゲ・ノイズポップバンドの最新作として、珠玉のキャッチーメロディが詰まった作品として、Lilys の Kurt Heasley とのコラボ作として、アルバムの 3 枚の連続リリースの集大成として、もう申し分のないアルバムだった。Velocity Girl、初期 Yuck、Lilys、Superdrag はもういないけど、Snowball II は活動している…！という喜びがあった。更にポップネスを突き詰めた作品を期待してます。
