Album of the year?

at first i thought animal collective's new one was really good

but then i heard grizzly bears newest (awsome live show at the pabst from this tour too) and i've read on some other places that they say this album is

but that was before i heard the new megafaun - holy shit

all tiny creatures - also awesome

but now i've downloaded the new single from volcano choir, sounds amazing, this might be the album of the year

There's been a ton of good stuff this year, my original list was like 34 albums long... But I picked this stuff because I'm a hipster.

KONKLAVER

must be first to post Album of the Year thread and so does it in august

definitely dark side of the moon. it's revolutionary, if not a bit wanky.

thanks leafs - how could I forget Bibio!? Great album

i dunno how you guys listen to so much new stuff...

 

i listen to records for hours each day and i've probably only heard 3 or 4 albums that have actually come out this year. generally. i really like the new sunn, bibio and black moth super rainbow records - but they're all by people i'm already familiar with anyway and i'll check out whatever they do.

 

between listening to music from the whole history of recorded music and listening to records i've already got, i'm not sure how some of you get the time. i mean, 34 best albums? that's about one for every week!

 

You can always find a way, and I have to listen to new stuff practically every day, so I go through a lot of stuff.

I highly recommend Wild Beasts' latest offering, 'Two Dancers'.

 

cant think of any
