Right now I gotta say, sorry Matthew Good, you're not number 1 for me.

 

That position goes to a duo I stumbled upon by hearing a song they did for the Hunger Games soundtrack and was really grabbed by their recently released self-titled album. They have a nice, sort of unique sound and their voices (man and woman) blend beautifully, as does the music. They are different from my usual musical choice, they are a folk/country/rock blend. But mostly folk. Their new album is very emotional in spots.

 

So my album of the year right now is The Civil Wars - The Civil Wars.

I highly recommend you check them out, I think there's some here who would enjoy them.

 

Here's a song from their debut:

 

 

From the new album:

 

 

 

 

Other top albums are Palms - Palms and Matthew Good - Arrows of Desire.

I've bought quite a bit of music this year, but not much that was released this year:

 

Arrows of Desire

Pure Heroine by Lorde

Kveikur by Sigur Ros

Siberia Acoustic by Lights

Heartthrob by Tegan and Sara

 

I would have to say Kveikur is my favorite from this year, with Arrows a close second, then Pure Heroine, Heartthrob and Siberiacoustic.
