 | Bitte Orca by Dirty Projectors
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $5.16 Disjointed, deconstructed pop songs rebuilt out of replacement parts. Somehow groovy, disturbing, catchy & challenging all at the same time.
|
 | Hold Time by M. Ward
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $6.99 That singular, cracked-mahogany voice takes you on a very vintage rock trip that manages to sidestep retro-nostalgia and land squarely in stately beauty territory.
|
 | Wilco (The Album) by Wilco
Buy new: $11.41 / Used from: $4.15 A little more fun, a little less angst-- for better or worse this is another great Wilco album full of sweet tunes and scintillating guitars.
|
 | Actor by St. Vincent
Buy new: $11.44 / Used from: $8.05 I love the odd birds that display their many-colored feathers proudly. Personal songs crafted in a unique style. If you like Kate Bush, Joanna Newsom, Cat Power, Bjork... get this.
|
 | Veckatimest by Grizzly Bear
Buy new: $13.09 / Used from: $5.35 Wow. Sheer beauty for people that like their pop atmospheric & slow burning-- songs that take you off the beaten path. Brian Wilson remakes Talk Talk's Laughing Stock?

|
 | Life of the World to Come (Dig) by Mountain Goats

Buy new: $13.45 / Used from: $7.29 A whirling dervish of modern psychedelic pop with some moments of true musical transcendence.
|
 | Sometimes I Wish We Were An Eagle by Bill Callahan
Buy new: $11.98 / Used from: $9.40 Bill settles further into his secret elder (maybe middle-aged) statesman of Americana mode. Songs built like an Amish barn.

|
 | Wooden Arms by Patrick Watson
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $4.77 Dreamy, swirling, strange folk-pop with a delicate & powerful voice on top. Fans of Tim Buckley & Tom Waits take note.
|
 | Ruminant Band by Fruit Bats
Buy new: $12.70 / Used from: $4.98 My vote for most underrated young band. Great songs. Classic, yet modern. Wilco and Shins fans should be all over them.
|
 | The Atlantic Ocean by Richard Swift

|
