"Fleet Foxes, Fleet Foxes: This band got a lot of attention this year, and
rightfully so. Crazy that this is their first album, they already have such a
distinguishable sound. 'Beach Boys meets Bob Dylan' is the catchiest
comparison I can make with this band — really interesting lyrics, but also
fantastic vocal arrangements and harmonies. 'White Winter Hymnal' is
probably my favorite track. I recommend 'Ragged Wood' and 'Quiet
Houses,' but really the whole album, though.
» Dr. Dog, Fate: I was just turned onto this band recently. I don't know
what you'd call them — a little rock and roll, a little pop, a little folk —
their own thing, really. And from this album I'd recommend 'The Breeze,'
'The Old Days' and 'Army of Ancients.' One thing I love about this band is
the vocal harmonies, and the singer's voice — you just want to believe
what he's singing.
» Noah and the Whale, Peaceful: 'The World Lays Me Down,' 'Give a Little
Love,' '5 Years Time,' and 'Shape of My Heart' are probably my favorite
songs on this album, although the whole thing has a really unique sound.
Great fun pop melodies; it's nice to hear a band not be afraid to be catchy.
» The Fireman, Electric Arguments: Paul McCartney has put out a few
albums as The Fireman, but this is the first with vocals. The first song
floors me ... It's heavy and so impressive [that] he can still sing as well as
he does at his age. The second song, 'Two Magpies,' is one of my
favorites from the album also ... such a juxtaposition from the first track
to this. The production on the album is really deep as well, a lot of really
fascinating sounds.
» Phantom Planet, Raise the Dead: We toured with this band earlier this
year, and I didn't know much about them before that. I got this album a
few weeks before the tour started and was blown away. By far their best
album, and very underrated — people need to hear this. 'Quarantine' is
excellent, and 'I Don't Mind' might be my favorite song of this year."
