Obviously this is a pointless task, but someone asked us at Off The Beaten Tracks to write a top ten, so i did. Except I couldn’t get it down to less than 11, so here they are, in no particular order:
- The Pains of Being Pure at Heart - The Pains of Being Pure at Heart
- St Vincent - Actor
- Fanfarlo - Reservoir
- The Antlers - Hospice
- The Xcerts - In The Cold Wind We Smile
- Discovery - Discovery
- Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavilion
- Japandroids - Post-Nothing
- The xx - xx
- French Miami - French Miami
- Casiotone For the Painfully Alone - vs. Children
I’m sure I’ve overlooked at least one important one. Just for fun, what are yours?
