For me it's a toss up between Charli XCX's how i'm feeling now and Ka's Descendants of Cain. Charli's album is the perfect quarentine album, tightly composed in just a few weeks and reflects a longing to go back to normal while knowing things will never be the same. The production is great, and some very catchy tracks. That said, Ka's album is pretty much perfect. He has a lane, and he does it very well. Descendants of Cain feels like that lane chiseled into something truly beautiful. Moody, wonderfully sparse yet luscious beats, insane wordplay, and wrapped in allusion and metaphor to the Fall of Man. Appropriately apocalyptic for our time. They're wildly different albums, yet seem tapped into the same energy. That's why it's hard to choose between them.
