1) Yeasayer - Odd Blood
I've already raved enough about this album elsewhere in the blog. Pure awesomeness. Can't wait to get my vinyl copy.
2) Owen Pallett - Heartland
Never listened to the dude before as Final Fantasy, but wow, this is great. Violin-based orchestral electric pop.
3) Spoon - Transference
Probably not my favorite Spoon album, but shit, who else grooves like this? No one. Who makes your money?
4) Vampire Weekend - Contra
This is fun music. I'm still not sold on "California English", but the second half of the record is very solid. I love "Run" and "Giving Up the Gun".
5) Broken Bells - Broken Bells
Basically like The Shins' James Mercer fronting Gorillaz. Which is pretty f'n cool.
6) Beach House - Teen Dream
Gorgeous female vocals. The band's simple sound is tweaked a bit, making it more accessible, and I'd say without a doubt it's the group's best effort yet.
What's next? Massively looking forward to new records from LCD Soundsystem and MGMT in the next few months.
