The usual impulse I feel from discovering fantastic new music has been distorted by an influx of worthy albums and as such I have decided to compile a list as opposed to my customary verbose appraisal and anecdotal prose.
Terrible Things Happen by The Aislers Set
Given to me by a freelance editor I worked with.
Surf Noir by Beat Connection
Downloaded from a SoulSeek user after noticing the LCD Soundsystem reference.
Haha Sound by Broadcast
A stated influence for The Radio Dept.
In Love With Oblivion by Crystal Stilts
Saw them live at the Magic Stick. New album is even better than their debut.
Guards by Guards
Listed by last.fm as similar to Beat Connection, plus it's a free download.
It's All True by Junior Boys
Been following them since seeing them open for Caribou in 2005.
An Exaltation of Laarks by Laarks
Discovered their awesome session on Daytrotter.
Astro Coast by Surfer Blood
Was being played one day at my favorite record store, UHF Records.
Strange Weather, Isn't It? by !!!
Realized they've written some of my all-time favorite songs.
