    Crap, I forgot about Painted Shield 3.

    Guess that’ll have to go on the Honourable Mentions pile, along with John Butler, Iron & Wine, and all the other Neil Young releases this year.

    Might not get to ten new albums but these are a few I really enjoyed in no particular order

    Pearl Jam - Dark Matter
    Fanning Dempsey - The Deluge
    Jack White - No Name
    The War on Drugs - Live Drugs Again
    Jebediah - Oiks

    to a lesser extent and need to revisit:
    Painted Shield 3
    Kings of Leon - Can We Please Have Fun 
    The Black Keys - Ohio Players

    Edit: on looking at some peoples list I decided to jump into the most recent Vampire Weekend record and I must say I really like it. Adding that to my list. These threads never fail to deliver.

    Red Clay Strays: Made by these moments

    Charley Crockett: $10 cowboy

    Karen Jonas: The Rise and fall of America kitsch
