18: Calvin Johnson - A Wonderful Beast
The album title says it all.
17: Horror Section - ST
Three chord punk rock about 80's horror movies, need I say more?!
16: Lebanon Hanover - Let Them Be Alien
I have a crush on this band and forever will. So dark, so brooding. so rad.
15: Anna Calvi - Hunter
POWERFUL!
14: Kidd - You And I
Are these unearthed Beatles songs? They might as well be.
13: Young Scum - ST
I'm so happy people still make music this blissful.
12: Free Cake For Every Creature - The Bluest Star
I like to imagine this is a secret home recorded album someone special gave me.
11: Basement Revolver - Heavy Eyes
A hidden treasure of dream soaked rawk.
10: I’m With Her - See You Around
The talent this album holds is immense.
9: Smoking Popes - Into The Agony
True blue through and through.
8: Thoroughbreds Soundtrack
So wild and bizarre. I just can't stop listening to this.
7: Black Panther Soundtrack
Listening to this album makes me feel cooler than I really am.
6: Pale Waves - My Mind Makes Noises
Almost every song on this album is sickly sweet in the best ways. One song is kinda dumb. But so much is wonderful.
5: Chromeo - Head Over Heals
Long live Chromeo. Everything these guys put out is gold. This album is no exception. Also my favorite concert I went to this year.
4: The Beths - Future Me Hates Me
I'm a sucker for really well done power pop, and this album rivals the best power pop out there. Perfect 3 part harmonies, Catchy as pho hooks, Screaming solos, Weezer should be extremely jealous of the awesomeness this album basks in.
3: 2nd Grade - Wish You Were Here Tour
I've been waiting on an official release of this album for a while. One of my all time favorite bedroom records. The first song kills me every time. All the pop sweetness you could ever want.
2: Wild Pink - Yolk in the Fur
The best album to drive down a lonely winter road to. Absolutely beautiful all the way through with strong song structures and mesmerizing writing.
