I end every year by making a list of my favorite albums. Some years there are as many as 30 albums that I couldn't live without, but this year there were really only 10 for me. To be honest, the David Bazan and Fever Ray releases really monopolized a lot of my time. But there are some beautiful songs on all of the following ten, and I think a few of them are growers that I'll enjoy even more next year...
1. David Bazan - Curse Your Branches
2. Fever Ray - Fever Ray
3. The Antlers - Hospice
4. Robert Gomez - Pine Sticks & Phosphorus
5. Wilco - Wilco (The Album)
6. Kings of Convenience - Declaration of Dependence
7. Klum - We Carelessly Turned Amazingly Into Nothing
8. Devendra Banhart - What Will We Be
9. Bill Callahan - Sometimes I Wish We Were An Eagle
10. Andrew Bird - Noble Beast
