1. The Horrors – Primary Colors It took a few listens before I fell in love with this album, but once I got past the initial shock of not hearing much of the previous “zombie garage” sound, I was hooked. The sound is very reminiscent of vintage darkwave, but with a modern twist. |

2. Conor Oberst – Outer South I was surprised to see a new Conor Oberst (and The Mystic Valley Band) album get released so close to his previous release, but Outer South turned out to be just as good, and in some tracks, even better. I must have driven people crazy with how much I played this album. |

3. The Whitest Boy Alive – Rules It took WBA almost three years to come out with a follow-up to their first album, Dreams, and it shows with the more mature and developed sound of their second album, Rules. This album is filled with all kinds of infectious loops and lyrics that it’s hard to listen to it just once. |
 |
4. Silversun Pickups – Swoon I was late to find this band, but ever since I purchased this album, I have purchased everything they’ve done. I love their melodic sound and lyrics. Their music is perfect for a long drive or while working into the late hours of the night. |

5. Mexican Institute of Sound – Soy Sauce I really love it when bands from south of the border break into the American music scene. M.I.S. got me dancing since the first time I heard them get airplay on KCRW. I was also lucky enough to catch them perform live, and I must say that they know how to work the crowd. Everyone was dancing! |
The Rest
A lot of these albums made an impact on me, but didn’t get as much play as the five above.
