Sharon van Etten - Tramp
Grimes - Visions
Wye Oak - Civilian (hmm, this maybe came out 2011 but whatever)
Jack White - Blunderbuss
Lana Del Rey - Born To Die
Radiohead - The King of Limbs (yeah it came out last year but I'm really late on this stuff. Bought it this year, listened to it loads, loved it.)
My two faves:
First Aid Kit - The Lion's Roar
Grizzly Bear - Shields
Maybe Shields just edges it. Love this record. So many amazingly constructed songs. I like the way they seem to evolve as you listen. And First Aid Kit I've been a huge fan of since seeing them live and meeting them back in Feb. Their voices combine so beautifully. I'm sure they will go on to even great recognition.
Many albums I've not listened to yet that I really want to hear: Bat For Lashes, Cat Power, Crystal Castles, Beach House... Will find the time eventually. Love seeing everyone else's lists - it gives inspiration!
