I dont even know if those first 2 are band names or album names
band names...sorry
Chelsea Light Moving - (self titled) Thurston Moore from Sonic Youth
County Mice - Hour of the Wolf
I'll add Rhye into the mix it's the second album that I Wish The XX WOULD have made. :drum:
Thoroughly enjoying Country Mice. Thank you for mentioning them. Good Tunes are always a good thing.
Arbouretum - Coming Out of the Fog
Country Mice - Hour of the Wolf
Devendra Banhart - Mala
Josh Ritter - The Beast in its Tracks
Jim James - regions
Listened to Phosphorescent and didn't think it had nearly the magic Here's to Taking it Easy does. Of course, this is just based on one listen.
Anyone listen to the new Nick Cave record through and through? I only got about halfway through, been trying to revisit it.

Same here my musical brother from another
I've been spinning those nonstop. Have yet you check out the new Phossy but really looking forward to it. I would imagine matching Here's to Taking it Easy is no easy task.
I've been meaning to check out Chelsea Light Moving, but when Thurston played one of their songs with Sharon Van Etten @ Town hall it was absolutely awful. :grin:
So far this has been my 2013 playlist. All female led bands.
Lady Lamb The Beekeeper - Ripely Pine
The Joy Formidable - Wolf's Law
Thao & The Get Down Stay Down - We The Common
Speck Mountain - Badwater
I agree with JJ, Arbouretum, Country Mice. I would add
Frightened Rabbit
Local Natives
Czarface
Local Natives and Nick Cave are my two favorites so for. But I'm assuming The Nationals new one will take the top spot.
Local Natives' latest album is very good and definitely on my top-10 so far. Also near the top of my list:
Widowspeak
Veronica Falls
Sallie Ford & The Sound Outside
But at the very top - Torres.
Foxygen- We Are the 21st Century Ambassadors of Peace & Magic
that album really has grown on me

Who is this Foxygen and why is their name so stupid??
Guess I'll have to check them out since apparently they're awesome. :rolleyes:
It has not arrived yet. But it will be soon. And when it does. It will be #1. Anyone that says otherwise... is just wrong.

Phosphorescent

i just posted that on the truckers board..along with the clip from Jimmy Fallon last month--i can't get enough..
I listened to Foxygen at work today in the background and it didn't really make an impresion...Now I'm home with it cranked up and I'm REALLY loving it. They remind me a bit of if Dr. Dog and The Strokes had a love child.
There are a whole bunch of twists and turns on this record a lot going on....the influences are pretty apparent but I enjoy what they've created out of them.

As much as I love the Phosphorescent and Local Natives albums, Ben Harper & Charlie Musselwhite is my favorite album of the year rather easily. Ive been waiting/hoping for this album (pure blues album) since I first discovered Ben Harper.
Its his best album in over 15 years.
I found it on my hard drive about a month ago and never really heard anybody talking about it. for awhile I thought it might've been a 2012 album that I never got the chance to listen to. glad I'm not alone in loving it though. hard to imagine it not making my top 5 at the end of the year.
So far my favorite albums this year in no order are as followed:
Regions of Light - Jim James
Wakin On A Pretty Daze - Kurt Vile
We Are The 21st Century Ambassadors of Peace - Foxygen
Muchacho - Phosphorescent
looking forward to these beauts:
Houndmouth
Wilco
Arcade Fire
McLovins
Wax Fang

I can't wait for The National out in may. Stereogum has streamed two songs from it and they are awesome.
my updated list:

1. Phosphorescent - Muchacho
2. Kurt Vile - Walkin On A Pretty Daze
Also awesome, room for growth (potential year end)

Phosphorescent - Muchahco
Josh Ritter - The Beast in its Tracks
Houndmouth - from The Hills Below The City
looking forward to checking out the others mentioned.
Thanks!!
No one has mentioned Phoenix! Bankrupt is better than the press would have you believe, but nothing could follow up WAP...
Is Jai Paul too Pitchfork-y for this thread? The "leak" of his "demos" is one of the best pop albums to come out in... ever (esp. if you like rhye/hipster r&B)...

Where can I find the Houndmouth album? Based on your posting I looked into them and really like the 2012 EP but can't find From The Hills anywhere.
I don think its actually out yet...

I streamed some of the new Natalie Maines record yesterday and it might be the surprise of the year for me. Wasn't ever a big fan of hers, but I was intrigued to hear her cover of Jeff Buckley's "Lover You Should've Come Over" and it is fantastic. She also covers Floyd "Mother", the Jayhawks "I'd Run Away" and a Patty Griffin tune.
Speaking of Jeff Buckley, the two disc deluxe edition of Live at Sin-e has really been kicking my butt lately. Not a 2013 album, but it has some brilliant covers as well, including three Dylan songs. A very intimate recording, just Jeff and his guitar in a little cafe with lots of banter. A window into his soul.
Forgot to add Charles Bradley's "Victim of Love" ...it's my album of the year so far

I remember the first time I sat down with that album with a good set of headphones. I was reading through the liner notes talking about his greatness in those small gigs and just became overwhelmed with emotion. It's weird, but with the banter between songs I felt like I was actually there with him. He had me completely drawn in, but then to know that this amazing talent was taken away from us far too early really depressed me.
I think the Maines album, and any covers album for that matter, is pretty polarizing. Some people get hung up on the originals, and no cover could satisfy them. I'm still waiting for my copy to come in the mail, so I haven't heard the whole album yet, but I think her Buckley cover is pretty stunning.

No problem. It's been a great year so far for music. Here's a single from MCII:
Mikal Cronin - Weight (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0S2eTV2v3V0#ws)
I know several have mentioned Futurebirds' album Baba Yaga and I have to agree. I've been a bit absorbed by it since I picked it up a couple of weeks ago.
and after streaming it a couple of times last week, I am definitely looking forward to Vampire Weekend's new album.
Random Access Memories is Phenomenal
(http://i1.cdnds.net/13/12/618x618/daft-punk-random-access-memories-artwork.jpg)
I'm very much enjoying the Maines album Marino, even if Ben Harper didn't scuff up the polish a little bit more. She really does show off her chops on Lover You Should've Come Over.
Also wanted to agree with Parker about Dig. It's my song of the year so far.
Im really liking this Deerhunter record, Monomania. I've never listened to Deerhunter before, always got them and Animal Collective confused for some reason (?), but I think i'll start going backwards now.
I'll revisit this thread after Earl Sweatshirt drops 'Doris' :thumbsup:

This is awesome. More pop than i would expect comming from ty segall band.
holy shit tons of great albums now (past month or so)
Daft Punk
Queens Of The Stone Age
Vampire Weekend
The National
(http://ts4.mm.bing.net/th?id=H.4589444182049951&pid=15.1)
I have loved both VW and Contra but this is my favorite. I know some VW could be off putting to some but I think people that did not really get into the first two will still enjoy Modern Vampires. It could be my album of the year.
Thanks for reminding me to pick up VW's next album. On the to-do list for the weekend.
Fortunately I am able to get actual advanced copies of CDs (remember those?). And I have to say... that the new Queens of the Stone Age has shot straight to my new favorite album of 2013. It's a little different... kind of dark, and moody... but absolutely incredible. I cannot get enough of it. So yeah... QOTSA "...Like Clockwork". Number 1 with a bullet.

Excited about this one as well, great to see Dave back on the drum and Nick back as well. I think this is a much stronger lineup than some of the others.
Red Fang just announced they'll have another album out this fall, excited about that one.

I have loved both VW and Contra but this is my favorite. I know some VW could be off putting to some but I think people that did not really get into the first two will still enjoy Modern Vampires. It could be my album of the year.
GREAT ALBUM!! I streamed it on Itunes non-stop before the release date, now that I have the album Im sharing the love (burning copies to all my peeps). Favorite VW album so far!
The National's new album, "Trouble will Find Me", is pretty dam good :thumbsup: Haven't listened to it enough to have a final opinion, but it's definitely worth purchasing!
My updated almost half year best of list (limited to 10)
1. The National - Trouble Will Find Me *
2. Vampire Weekend - Modern Vampires Of The City *
3. Phosphorescent - Muchacho *
4. Kurt Vile - Walkin On A Pretty Daze *
5. Frightened Rabbit - Pedestrian Verse *
6. Local Natives - Hummingbird
7. Mikal Cronin - MCII
8. The Men - New Moon
9. Yo La Tengo - Fade
10. Foxygen - We Are The 21st Century Ambassadors Of Peace & Magic
I bought a Audio-Technical turntable and earphones and own the top five on vinyl. I LOVE the experience of receiving, opening and listening. For lack of better word it is so much more intimate and enhances the listening experience. Helps to have great recent releases like The National and VW.

I began collecting vinyl about three years ago ( I mostly buy current albums that become my favorites to listen to), but I haven't had the chance/means to buy a turn table. Feel like its time for me to sacrifice on other expenses in order to finally get my own turntable. What model did you just buy and would you recommend it to others?

Audio-Technica ATH-M50S Professional Studio Monitor Headphones
FiiO E6 Portable Headphone Amplifier

Never thought that I would say it about something DJ or electronic based, but the new Daft Punk is REALLY GOOD.

I have to say the new she and him isn't bad.. I'll support anything by m. Ward :thumbsup:
And thank you to you guys for posting about foxygen and phosphorescent. Shits awesome. Probably never would have gave it a shot if it wasn't for this forum.. :beer:

I have not! But I will!
I haven't even given the new National record a real good listen, and i'm seeing them tonight... :grin:
I will also say that Jason Isbells new album is an "awesome album of 2013"
but... my 2nd five star record of the year is Evil Friends by Portugal. The Man. The first being Phosphorescent.
New Lightning Dust coming June 25th!!! Just ordered deluxe package which comes with vinyl, CD, poster, bonus 7" and shipping for $29 total. Now that's fair pricing!

can you send or post a sample? I'm not familiar but intrigued.
I love Jason Isbell's new record. That thing is going to win tons of awards.
So far I can't stop listening to monomania. Pensacola especially
The new SIGUR ROS (Kveikur) is out of this world!! Safe to say that it's the best album of this year...hard to imagine anything beating this from the top spot. AMAZING!! :cheesy: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Amber Webber and Joshua Wells from the band Black Mountain. It's like...electronic folk magic! I'm in love with their second album, Infinite Light. First one is great too.

"Antonia Jane" by Lightning Dust (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auPNIcA1oaw#)
I'm finally really listening to Evil Friends. I think I may love it. I listened to it while I was busy with work when it first came out and then forgot about it. I started listening intently today to it and I really just love it. I think seeing Portugal.the man last week reminded me about it.
here's my list so far in order:
1. Daft Punk- Random Access Memories
2. Black Rebel Motorcycle Club- Specter At The Feast
3. Queens Of The Stone Age- ...Like Clockwork
4. Vampire Weekend- Modern Vampires Of The City
5. Sound City: Real To Reel
6. The National- Trouble Will Find Me
7. Filter- The Sun Comes Out Tonight
8. Atoms For Peace- AMOK
9. Phoenix- Bankrupt!
10. Jim James- Regions of Light and Sound of God
11. Rob Zombie- Venomous Rat Regeneration Vendor
12. Empire Of The Sun- Ice On The Dune
13. The Strokes- Comedown Machine
14. Yeah Yeah Yeahs- Mosquito
15. Palma Violets- 180
16. Alice In Chains- The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here
I need to get Foals. Heard a few songs which i really dug.
Futurebirds - Baba Yaga
Har Mar Superstar - Bye Bye 17
Vampire Weekend - Modern Vampires in the City
I've listened to more than this, but so far these are the only albums I've heard that I feel like I'll actually still be listening to years from now.

I'm pretty sure there is only one sample on the whole album.
I've been going back and forth between Jason Isbell's Southeastern and Joseph Arthur's Ballad Of Boogie Christ... Both great albums in my opinion.

I like the new daft punk album but if I were Matt Mondanile I would look into some kind of copyright lawsuit...not sure how all that works and I know Daft Punk has been working on this album a long time but I can't get over how similar these songs are and how much $ is being made off of Get Lucky right now. Probably out of my element but just wanted to post this.
Also, Sax Solo > Pharrell
Get Lucky - Daft Punk Feat. Pharrell Williams (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBJ9RnbK8G4#ws)
Ducktails - Under Cover (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzRp4rL9Hds#ws)
The National - Trouble Will Find Me
Vampire Weekend - Modern Vampires Of The City
Phosphorescent - Muchacho
Kurt Vile - Walkin On A Pretty Daze
Frightened Rabbit - Pedestrian Verse
Mikal Cronin - MCII
Local Natives - Hummingbird
Unknown Mortal Orchestra - II
Yo La Tengo - Fade
The Men - New Moon
Deerhunter - Momomania
Torres - Torres
Daughter - If You Leave
Lamb Lamb the Beekeeper - Riley Pine
Waxahatchee - Cerulean Salt
- need to listen to Portugal the man, Savages, Queens of Stone Age, Shannon and The Clams and others some more. Been a great year for music
I just got that Magna Carta Holy Grail. It's a good cd and you can listen to it from beginning to end. The Rick Ross track might be the only skippable one. They made the original Maybach Music then have the nerve to put out that trash. "Oceans" and "Part II" are the best along with "Jay Z Blue." Definitely makes up for Blueprint 3.
JAGWAR MA- HOWLIN
CAYUCAS- BIG FOOT
FLAMING LIPS- THE TERROR
WILD NOTHING- EMPTY ESTATE
DUCKTAILS- THE FLOWER LANE
the new Gregory Alan Isakov album The Weatherman is just beautiful.
Awesome:
Local Natives - Hummingbird
Foals - Holy Fire
Jim James - Regions
Very good:
Junip - Junip
Queens of the Stone Age - Like Clockwork
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Specter at the Feast
Atoms for Peace - AMOK
The Joy Formidable - Wolf's Law
Upcoming:
Pearl Jam
Radical Face
A couple recent releases I'm enjoying:
Wild Feathers
Pond- Hobo Rocket
I haven't listened to much this year, haven't even heard a great rocker yet (recommendations?). I've really liked these though:
Patty Griffin - American Kid
Charles Bradley - Victim of Love
Boards of Canada - Tomorrow's Harvest
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Push the Sky Away
Daft Punk - Random Access Memories
Really loving Valerie June's debut release, Pushin Against a Stone
Check it out if you're not familiar.

I listened to the stuff on NPR today- like it! She's getting so much buzz I heard she was the only artist already booked for the Newport FF next year.
I know I've mentioned these already, but on my trip last week I became really into the Jason Isbell and obsessed with P.tM - Evil Friends. Its as good as TSS or ITMITC, in my opinion.

I'm still listening to Evil Friends myself. Sometimes I love an album from first listen, but then tire quickly of it. This album is not one of them. Other times An album is a grower; once again not this album. I fell in love on first listen and it is right up there for me in my current rotation of regulars.
BEEN DIGGING:
ROSE WINDOWS- THE SUN DOGS
WASHED OUT- PARACOSM
MINKS- TIDES END
TY SEGALL- SLEEPER

That's one of the things I like about it too. It makes it seem so interconnected, almost like a symphonic piece-Different movements that come back to the same themes
Jason Isbell - Southeastern - finally gave this the time it deserved. Definetly a top 5 album of the year for me. It's a classic an probably my favorite alt country / singer song writer album sense heartbreaker.
Ola Podrida - Ghosts Go Blind - not sure if he has been mentioned but could be in my final top 10 as well. Rdio compares it to phosphorescent
Lone Bellow - s/t - beautiful harmonies. Nice alt folk pop album superior to more commercially succesful acts like Mumford and lumineers
Portugal. The man - also love the lyrical themes through out and it's also just damn fun listening
Night beds - more indie folk. Dude has an amazing voice
QOTSA ...Like Clockwork has been on heavy rotation lately for me.
adding NIN to my list, solid album. :thumbsup: Only listened to it once though.
Jagwar Ma- Howlin
Went to the record store looking for a particular album, Hanni El Khatib, but they didn't have it. I then was chatting with the owner and he mentioned this band. Played a song from them, i liked it and bought the album. Pretty decent.
1. Wolf People - Fain
2. Futurebirds - Baba Yaga
3. Jason Isbell - Southeastern
4. Carcass - Surgical Steel
5. Arbouretum - Coming Out of the Fog
6. Phosphorescent - Muchacho
Good list, 5 of those are in my top 10-15 of the year and Baba Yaga remains my #1. Haven't heard Carcass, whats that like? Metal?

Yes! I've only listened to the new Nine Inch Nails album once as well, but I loved it on first listen. Pretty sure it is my favorite of theirs since The Fragile.
I listened to Laura Veirs' album this morning, and it's fantastic. It has a little Neko and Kathleen Edwards.

Ha! Yeah Carcass would fall into the melodic death metal/gore grind category I guess. Metal categories crack me up. It is an amazing album though and may climb the list.
I have to add Qwel and Maker's Beautiful Raw. This is my favorite hip hop album since Cool Calm Pete's Lost in 2005.

I kept reading The Besnard Lakes as The Barenaked Ladies and my faith in both your tastes in music was destroyed for a minute until my eyes came to their senses..

Really! Before I'd ever heard of them I saw them open for Band of Horses(!) at Cain's in 2010, and thought they were great. I've been nuts about them ever since and would love to see them again.
Fully, get some glasses. Anyway, what's wrong with Barenaked Ladies? :rolleyes:
While I don't disagree with anyone, I'm adding Obits as the greatest band I've never heard until this year.
Third album came out in 2013 - Bed and Bugs
Obits - Taste The Diff (not the video) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpXFnHzYFyE#ws)
Obits - Spun Out [OFFICIAL VIDEO] (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_PqOB9ANRo#)
Don Cavalli - Temperamental...I'm digging it :cool:
Don Cavalli - Feel Not Welcome (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xt9YyXfGyvE#ws)

The Besnard Lakes record is high up on my list of things I need to hear. Loved the last one, though I'm not real impressed with them as a live band.
Really! Before I'd ever heard of them I saw them open for Band of Horses(!) at Cain's in 2010, and thought they were great. I've been nuts about them ever since and would love to see them again.
Fully, get some glasses. Anyway, what's wrong with Barenaked Ladies? :rolleyes:
While I totally get that you like bareneckid ladies, The Barenaked Ladies are responsible for parts of the Shrek Soundtrack which my kids played more than a pop radio station plays a Katy Perry song. My skin crawls thinking about that song on repeat.
1. Mark Kozelek and Desertshore
2.The National

after about 10 spins, I think Pearl Jam's Lightning Bolt deserves a spot on this list

Out of nowhere...killing your face!!!
Just amazing
It's quite good, isn't it? Pretty sure it'll be in my top ten this year, and it's been a very good year.
Thanks to crispy, ruckus, and fully, I have to add Wolf People - Fain to the list. This band is insane. And great. I wish I would've been less lazy on Sunday and gone to Bloomington to check them out.

Put Ruckus at the top of that list. And you were just being lazy?! Okay then, I will taunt you with the knowledge that you missed seeing one hell of an amazing group and meeting some extremely nice guys. Sunday night shows are tough to do though, I understand.

I wish I had made it to see Gary Clark, Jr. Two days after I got back from the Wolf People trip. Unfortunately, I had too good a time at Wolf People to have the energy to see Jr. I may be getting old.

TORRES
With these being not in any real order:

julianna barwick - nepenthe
pickwick - let's talk medicine
phosphorescent - muchacho
I think my list keeps changing every time another new album of one of my favorite bands comes out. So, for this week, my top 10...
1. Pearl Jam - "Lightning Bolt"
2. Queens of the Stone Age - "...Like Clockwork"
3. Clutch - "Earth Rocker"
4. Deer Tick - "Negativity" (it's a grower...)
5. Arctic Monkeys - "AM"

9. Kings of Leon - "Mechanical Bull"
10. Motorhead - "Aftershock"
Arcde Fire- Reflektor
White Denim- Corsicana Lemonade
This is my current to 10 list. Tough year to make a list, so much good stuff.
1. The National - Trouble Will Find Me
2. Phosphorescent - Muchacho
3. Arctic Monkeys - AM
4. Vampire Weekend - Modern Vampires Of The City

I am feeling pretty good about this. I am listening to Okkervil River and White Denim a lot but don't think they will make the top 10. Also finally checked out The Besnard Lakes and really liking them. Finally, The Arcade Fire Album could have made it if they had edited it down. Songs and album are just too long.
Most of my favorites were already listed plenty of times, but a few I love that haven't been mentioned too many times or at all are:
Thee Oh Sees
Deerhunter
Charles Bradley
Rhye
Houndmouth
Action Bronson
Pusha T
1. Son Volt "Honky Tonk"
2. Richard Buckner "Surrounded"
3. Pearl Jam "Lightning Bolt"
4. Alice In Chains "Devil Put Dinosaurs Here"
May think of more later....
Holy shit, Trouble Will Find Me from The National is awesome. I can't believe it took me so long to come around to these guys. Great stuff.

Rich (FiddleCastro) and I are counting down our favourite albums of 2013. Here's the first five.
http://therevue.ca/?p=2292 (http://therevue.ca/?p=2292)
I guess because of his last name, we'll have to wait until your last post to hear about the #1 overlooked album of 2013:
http://www.popmatters.com/feature/176824-the-top-10-overlooked-albums-of-2013/ (http://www.popmatters.com/feature/176824-the-top-10-overlooked-albums-of-2013/)
This is definitely on my list of best albums of 2013 and thanks, NN, for turning me on to Zach. This is on heavy rotation, now with my new Ortofon cartridge, at the GO4IT household! The vinyl I picked up at his show is a real fine pressing.

That's a cool list, GO4IT, and I'm happy to see that I've actually heard one of those, Speck Mountain, thanks to Rich, I believe. And Mr. Cale obviously did not make The Revue's cut, else he would have been listed before Clutch. :wink:
You'll have to wait and see if Zachary Cale made it since we're doing this alphabetically by band name and first name (just easier that way). Glad to hear that you enjoyed the album, though, GO4IT.
In the meantime, here are ten more of our favourite albums:

Agreed about the Windhand record. 2013 has been an incredible year for metal releases, probably the best year ever since I've been paying attention.
Come join us in the metal thread, Wolof7, its gets a little lonely in there sometimes. :smiley:
For me there was one great complete album of the year which stood out above the rest
QOTSA
Then a lot of solid albums including
Murray Lightburn
Deer Tick
J Roddy
Lord Dying
JJ
Red Fang
Black Tusk
A few that I have enjoyed what I have heard, but haven't listened to the entire album
Lady Lamb
Sound City: Real To Reel
Black Sabbath
Windhand
Pelican
