9. Silver Jews - Lookout Mountain, Lookout Sea (june 17)
I like every song so it's still here.
8. Cloud Cult - Feel Good Ghosts (Tea-Partying Through Tornadoes) (april 8)
This album is starting to die on me, but i guess it depends on my mood.
7. Maybeshewill - Not For Want Of Trying (May 12)
Probably the best instrumentally driven album of the year.
6. Tamas Wells - Two Years In April (May)
He has good melodies and it's weird how he's not even known in America.
5. Have A Nice Life - Deathconsciousness (March?)
My first listen to the album was like being on some spiritual journey.
4. The Cast Before The Break - As Your Shoulders Turn On You (March)
The lyrics still resonate in my mind for hours.
3. Sigur Rós - Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust (June 24)
After the exciment died down, the album isn't a 10/10, but it's still good music.
2. Frightened Rabbit - The Midnight Organ Fight (April 15)
Every song rules.
1. Girl Talk - Feed The Animals (June 19)
Mashup perfection.
Looking Forward to:
1. Michelle Branch - Everything Comes and Goes (soon?)
2. Okkervil River - The Stand Ins (September 9)
3. Jack's Mannequin - The Glass Passenger (september?)
4. Moneen - tba (late 2008?)
5. Meg and Dia - Here, Here, Here (september?)
