- A.C. Newman - Get Guilty: reminds me a lot of The New Pornographers stuff, but that is a good thing to me.
- Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavillion: soooo good. I totally agree with the high rating Pitchfork gave this. Sure maybe that's because it's poppy and approachable - moreso than their old albums, but I still love it.
- Antony & the Johnsons - The Crying Light: Similar vein as the last EP with orchestral backgrounds. I like it, but I think Antony is just one of those love/hate sorts of things. You either like his music or you don't.
- Beirut - 2 EPs: great stuff, including a single I had heard from an issue of Believer
- Bishop Allen - Grrr...: Nothing stands out so far, but it's enjoyable.
- Bon Iver - Blood Bank EP: really good, as usual
- Chairlift - Does You Inspire You: I loved Bruises from the iPod commercial. The rest of the album is mediocre. Good. Enjoyable. But nothing that blows me away.
- Dark Was The Night: I just wrote a post about it, so I think you know where I stand
- Junior Boys - Begone Dull Care: Not quite as good on first listen as their last album, but still good. And could definitely improve on further listens, as albums often do.
- Matt & Kim - Grand: eh....I'll probably delete it. It's not bad. Just boring.
- Now Now Little Children - Cars: Reminds me of Land of Talk. Nice female vocals.
Things I will listen to soon and update on:
- Guilt By Association - Volume 2
- Kanye West - 808s and Heartbreak
