Hope you liked the first half (not ranked). Again, these are not rank ordered.
Lorde Melodrama
Much has already been said about this 21 year old New Zealander. It's a pretty damn good album.
Mothica Heavy Heart
Originally from Oklahoma City, currently based out of Brooklyn NY.
Mozart's Sister Field of Love
According to Wikipedia: Cecile Believe (formerly known as Mozart's Sister) is a solo project of Caila Thompson-Hannant from Montréal, Québec. It was established in 2011.
The Octopus Project Memory Mirror
I spent a lot of time this year going through the very large list of artists playing SXSW. One the things I learned is that there are a lot of terrific bands based in Austin. This is one of them.
Otoboke Beaver Love is Short
And now for something completely different. From Japan.
Paramore After Laughter
I first encountered this band in 2009 as the warm up for No Doubt. I have enjoyed them ever since. From Los Angeles.
Phoebe Bridgers Stranger in the Alps
Also from Los Angeles. She is showing up on many "hip" end of year 2017 lists.
Rebecca Loebe Blink
Ditto my comment on Austin, TX.
The Wrecks We Are The Wrecks
From Los Angeles, I really like this EP. Expect to hear more from them.
XETAS The Tower
Another band from Austin.
Zola Jesus Okovi
Been following this super talented 28 year old singer from Phoenix for a while. So good.
Maria Roate As I Go
"Christian" genre singers rarely get my attention (most of it is syrupy crap). But I really like this album. A lot. Nashville, by the way.
Lights Skin and Earth
One of the first shows I ever took Athena to was Lights, at the Varsity Theater. Toronto based.
PVRIS All We Know Of Heaven, All We Need Of Hell
I am surprised that this Massachusetts based band is not better known.
