I read lists like this every year and they mostly make me angry. To those fellow passionate music enthusiasts for whom this list will inspire similar rage (“OMG, no Bon Iver?” etc.), I’m not sorry.
Nor am I energetic enough to write even a paragraph on any of these. This is nothing more than a quick list that maybe you can look over if your iTunes needs a kick in the pants.
In no particular order:
Real Estate, Days
Destroyer, Kaputt
Sea and Cake, The Moonlight Butterfly
Atlas Sound, Parallax
The War on Drugs, Slave Ambient
Kurt Vile, Smoke Ring for My Halo
Eleanor Friedberger, Last Summer
Craft Spells, Idle Labor
Lana Del Rey, Video Games EP
Bibio, Mind Bokeh
Owen, Ghost Town
The Ladybug Transistor, Clutching Stems
College feat. Electric Youth, “A Real Hero”
