Top 15

Albums That I Bought This Year That Actually Came Out This Year
[In Approximate Reverse Order Of How Much I Liked Them]:
15. Wilco: Sky Blue Sky
--Frustratingly inconsistent. "Either Way" is absolutely beautiful. "What Light" is great. "Shake It Off" and "Side With The Seeds" seem as though they were constructed to be as irritating as possible.

14. Fionn Regan: The End Of History
--He was billed as Nick Drake-like and does present a similar sound, just less haunting and slightly more background music-ish. Admittedly, I have not given it as many devoted listens as it deserves.

13. Warm In The Wake: Gold Dust Trail
--Sometimes I get Warm In The Wake, Midlake, and Great Lake Swimmers all confused. Don't ask. Warm In The Wake is the slightly country-influenced one. Very pretty yet lively.

12. Spoon: Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga
--Fun & dance-y! So many cool instruments going on, plus interesting lyrics.
