Yep, another year of calling them albums. Maybe there’s a new word and I don’t spend enough time on Twitter to know what it is.
My list has a decidedly alt folk thread running through it, which is fine, I love that music, but I think it’s time for the next big thing in loud indie rock, a la Wolfmother.
By the way, if you want to buy any of these in good old CD form or MP3 download, I’d be delighted if you’d use my Amazon.com affiliate link
