Alt-J – An Awesome Wave
initely one of my favourites
this year. I love the fact that every track is so individual and
different with their unique sound. Every song is intriguing and
ranges from the melodic acoustic interludes to sharp clever
and well constructed songs.
Band of Horses
Mirage Rock
Their last two albums
were brilliant and
whilst
Mirage Rock
represents a slight
change in style being
more down tempo, it
is still worth listening
to if you’re a fan.Plenty
of great song-writing
on display here and
whilst some of the
maverick approach
may have been diluted,
there’s still much to
Jessie Ware
-
Devotion
This is a beautiful debut album from Jessie
ying it. She has
a gorgeous voice with well-written songs
and great production which creates a
winning combo. It’s slick, effortless, easy
music, and the songs are understated and
easy on the ear. 
Toy-Toy
We end with another debut album and
this band’s sound has been described
as a combination of psychedelic rock,
 
, and 
.
They create soundscapes that swoon with
guitar and synthesised strings and this is a
captivating album from start to finish.
Yeasayer -
Fragrant
World
Fragrant World
is an album
filled with creativity and
excitement.This remarkable
energy inhabiting the
record comes out in every
song making this album
complete. This is probably
one of the most interesting
musical journeys from this
year!
