Best of 2013 (So far)


Recommended Posts

So we're almost halfway through the year and I'm curious what everyone has been digging thus far. For me off the top of my head:

 

Comadre - S/T

Twenty One Pilots - Vessel

Young Statues - Age Isn't Ours

HRVRD - From the Bird's Cage

Alcoa - Bone & Marrow

 

I know I'm forgetting some.

so many good albums so far but here's a few standouts that'll make it on my end of year list...

 

Banquets - Self Titled

Daylight - Jar

Rotting Out - The Wrong Way

Incendiary - Cost Of Living

Terror - Live By The Code (a lot better than I expected it to be!)

Off With Their Heads - Home

 

Probably forgot some too

the new Intronaut, Appleseed Cast, and Cult of Luna albums are the only things i've heard this year and are very cool. New Kylesa sounds like it will be good. Oh, and the new Paint it Black 7" was awesome.

I can already tell you the best of 2013: Merchandise - Totale Nite

I promise I will not be changing my mind on that one.

 

Also:

Church Whip - Psychedelic Nightmare

Culo - My Life Sucks and I Could Care Less (suck it grammar police)

Gay Kiss - Fault

Thee Oh Sees - Floating Coffin/Moon SIck

Gun Outfit - Hard Coming Down

Milk Music - Cruise Your Illusion

Night Birds - Maimed For the Masses

 

Plus the new Big Eyes and Night Birds. I am sure there are more on the way too.

John Grant's 'Pale Green Ghosts' is the early favorite. But after only a few days with it, the new Primal Scream is giving it a run for its money.

'Wolf's Law' by the Joy Formidable to round out the top 3.

Looking forward to new ones from the Boxer Rebellion (next week, one listen to the preview stream suggests it's gonna be a good one), Pet Shop Boys, These New Puritans, and the first time I've been excited for a Sigur Ros album in over a decade.

2013 has been very kind so far and should continue to be so from the looks of it.

Eluvium - Nightmare Ending

Grouper - The Man Who Died In His Boat

Mogwai - Les Revenants

Still need to listen to Deerhunter and i'm sure the new Boards of Canada will be amazing. I was disappointed by MBV but the first half was pretty good.
