1. Ogadimma-Apatt http://apatt.bandcamp.com/album/ogadimma ^Okay seriously, why are more people not making this kind of music? This is probably the only album that I heard this year where the band actually sounded like they were enjoying themselves, and more interested in doing their own thing as opposed to trying to get on someone's best of list or a 9.5 pitchfork score or whatever. 2. Let England Shake-PJ Harvey ^Yeah, it's as good as all the internet sites say. Those are the only two that really made an impression, but 3. Helplessness Blues-Fleet Foxes is pretty good too… though even after I've listened to it 15 times or so I still can't really remember how 75% of the songs go. I like it but I don't think it's incredible or anything.
