so just like the year before this list is in no order whatsoever.
Andrew Bird- I want to see Pulaski at Night
at first i thought this was a purely instrumental album but on a second listen i realized it wasn't, solid album but the instrumental tracks standout quite a bit.
Football, Etc- Audible
interesting album if you liked bands like American football, and others like it you'll enjoy this album a lot.
Larry and his Flask-By The Lamplight
i admit before listening to this band ive never heard a lot of bluegrass in this case combined with other genres blended so well.
Matt Pryor- Wrist Slitter
kind of and overlooked album by some, this has to be the most energetic and varied album he has done so far as a solo artist; taking all that he learned from his previous bands and progressing his sound and adding a bit energy to it.
Future of the Left- How to stop your brain in and accident
clever and angry lyrics and music make this album memorable.
Less than jake-See the Light
the tightest group of songs this band has done.
Heartsounds- Internal Eyes
this band after tweaking with their sound just a bit, make and extremely fun melodic punk album
Streetlight Manifesto- The hand that thieve
after a rather long hiatus this band comes back with a powerful angry ska album
Laura Stevenson- Wheel
this album took me by surprise , it had been a while since ive heard anything from this artist not only has she grown in her sound but also lyrically; making thoughtful songs that engage the listener.
Neko Case- The worse things get, The harder i fight , the more i love you
using quite a bit of symbolism among other things in her lyrics, every song is different sonically using different instruments to convey a wide array of emotions and tell strange but interesting stories.
God is an astronaut-Origins
the use of electronic voices complements the music making it more interesting and beautiful for the listener.
Superchunk- I hate Music
a straightforward album with a punk or garage rock inspired song in it that doesn't damage the flow of it.
Nick cave and the bad seeds- Push the Sky Away
a rather sober, melancholic and sometimes depressing album
Shearwater- Fellow Travelers
Dismemberment plan- Uncanny Valley
one of the most innovative bands from the 90s is back, with a great record taking some elements from their previous records and incorporating new ones that work well with their sound.
