Ratatat - Falcon Jab
This song is a complete reference to the world of videogames. Sorry, people who hate them.
El Ten Eleven - Jumping Frenchman Of Maine
Proof that dance music isn't destined to live solely in the laptop.
Bon Iver - Re: Stacks
Acoustic bliss.
Fleet Foxes - Oliver James
Seeing this performed live inspired me to be a better guitarist.
Jenny Lewis - Acid Tongue
Minimalist, choral folk that is so comforting.
Passion Pit - Sleepyhead
My favorite dance song of the year.
Final Fantasy - Horsetail Feathers
"I'm smarter then a chair."? I guess it isn't his lyric, but Pallet's musical humor is wonderful.
Brenden Canning - Churches Under The Stairs
The amount of meticulous imperfection that went into this shines in this track; and yes, I think that we are momentary.
Department of Eagles - No One Does It Like You
The only pop song off In Ear Park and the one that I still can't get out of my head.
Sigur Rós - Gobbledigook
Desperately entrancing, and fun; this song bounces between chords and delayed "lala"s as if it were falling confetti.
