Sort of my top 10 list for the year but I think top 10 lists are silly. Who can really say what the 10 best albums, songs whatever were the best? In the age of internet music there is no way to listen to everything that's out there so these are just the releases that I listened to the most or really connected with. Also it's in no particular order.

Crippled Black Phoenix- The Resurrectionist/Night Raiders double lp

Ume- Sunshower

Mr Gnome- Heave Yer Skeleton

Gifts from Enola- From Fathoms

Metric- Fantasies

Analena- Inconstantinopolis

Neko Case- Middle Cyclone

Dangermouse and Sparklehorse- Dark Night of the Soul

If These Trees Could Talk- Above the Earth, Below the Sky

Mono- Hymn to the Immortal Wind

honorable mention to Collapse Under the Empire- Find a Place to be Safe, I've only listened to it a few times since I just got it but it's really good.
