The Official Body
I'm not entirely sure if the kids these days would qualify this as "post-punk" but at least for me it was the first thought that came to mind. Basically it was a "Holy stars! I haven't heard a post-punk album this good in a long time" kind of moment on my hesitant first listen. There's definitely a lot more genres going on within this, but overall it has this dark, funky and jumpy vibe throughout that makes it more compelling than I could have expected.
