Albums of the Year 10:49 - Dec 1 with 5664 views

A decent year, I think. Some contenders...

More of the same from The War on Drugs on 'A Deeper Understanding', but the same is great.

Bonobo's 'Migration' is as good as anything he's done.

Superb melodies and sound on Big Thief's 'Capacity'.

Cigarettes After Sex's eponymous album is a bit same-ish, but lots of quality.

Bad Parents' EP is a little blinder. Can only find a live video which doesn't quite do it justice.

Grandaddy are back in a huge way with 'Last Place'.

Quiet Hollers' 'Amen Breaks' is overflowing with choons.

The Shins carry on the genius on 'Heartworms'

The xx's 'I See You' is a real breakthrough. Grown-up now. Beautiful stuff.

Oh yes, there were these two very different but very wonderful final testaments

and this one is pretty tasteful. Going Going Gone has a particular poignancy
