Kacey Musgraves, Surfer Blood, Vampire Weekend.

Kanye, Strokes, Trombone Shorty, The Shouting Matches and Valerie June mentioned above were great too.

I considered mentioning this one, but for me it's more that I LOVE about 3-4 tracks on that album and others I find very forgetable.

Self-Titled>>>Modern Vampires of the City>>>>>>>>>>>>>Contra

I get that. The back end of the album, outside of Ya Hey, doesn't reach the heights of the first half. I just love the theme of the album and it works all the way through for me, despite a couple of misses.

Definitely agree that Contra is their weakest, though I Think Ur a Contra is one of my favorites. I probably put Modern Vampires ahead of their debut just because of how much more of an "album" it is. But both are great and I likely flip that depending on my mood.

Also enjoyed 2013's latest by 90s/early 00s stalwart Travis, but not as much my fading away old favs The Stereophonics.
