spoon - transference
Completely agree on spoon. However, definitely not their best album ever. But still a good listen. Esp enjoyed "Nobody gets me but you" and "Got Nuffin". If anyone out there wants to start getting into them, I suggest listening to earlier albums first.
Great Thread, BTW.
With that said, other albums I enjoyed:
She & Him - Volume II
Mavis Staples - You are not alone
(Thank you, Mr. Jeff T****y for introducing her to a new generation by producing this awesome mix of blues and soul...)
Jack Johnson - To The Sea
Sufjan Stevens - The Age of Adz
Arcade Fire - The Suburbs and Arcade Fire - Contra (both were in this same year, right??)
Ray LaMontagne - God Willin and the Creek Don\'t Rise
Josh Ritter - So Runs the World Away
Am I the only person in the world that thought the MGMT album was subpar in comparison to Oracular Spectaculor?? I was highly disappointed....
