Charli XCX - Brat. Released earlier this year, the most modern thing my stereo has seen in a long time. Not sure if it's progress, but I borrowed it from a mate, so no buyer's remorse.

Not over-thrilled with SQ of the above, so went on dynamic range database. Where this scores from 02 to 07, so that's not great. Probably intended to sound good with crappy earbuds. So it's back to my last-century recordings.
