  • Black Gives Way to Blue
    Backspacer
    Ben R7
    Hank III
  • Manics - Journal for Plague Lovers
    Grizzly Bear-Veckitmest
    Low Anthem - Oh My God, Charlie Darwin
    Monsters of Folk - Monsters of Folk
    Doves - Kingdom of Rust

    Low Anthem would be my number one from what I've heard, it's quite far ahead of the others on that list for me. I must revisit the Manics one though, really liked it too.

    There are a lot I'm still waiting to get my hands (and ears) on so the list might change when I do (I'm a bit slower on the uptake these days ;) ). Either new releases by acts I like: Wilco, Dinosaur Jr, Dylan, Richard Hawley - or just bands I've heard great things about: Mumford & Sons (got it for xmas, just haven't got around to listening to it yet), The XX, Noah and the Whale, to name but a few.
