Ive always wondered why this band has failed to attract much attention or a following. Their last few albums have rocked my cawk.

Gets better every time I listen to it.

that's a really awesoomeee one.

love  The Pains of Being Pure at Heart; TV on the Radio too!

 

I think a lot of has to do with the fact that they had a pretty drastic change in styles along the way.  They used to have a pretty big following in hardcore, but around the time they signed to Matador/released The Chemistry of Common life, they started losing some of the hardcore crowd and gaining some indie fans.  Of course they still dip into both circles, but they're not really universally praised by any one scene anymore.

Dig it to the end; Tonbruket

Do yourself a favour and listen to this its brilliant!

Austra, "Feel it break"

I just got into this album last weekend. Really good. Pennsacola may be my favourite track of the whole year so far.

The Riptide by Beirut.

diggin' Jeff Bridges. I feel asleep to it last night and thats a good thing

i don't know, this ARAABMUSIK album is kinda perfect right now.

been a few months since I visited this thread. would still say Destroyer - Kaputt is holding on strong for one of the tops spots, but I think Nero - Welcome Reality is going to be album of the year unless something incredible comes along in the next couple months. The new M83 is definitely up there too, pretty epic album.
