Best albums of the year….so far

Yay, another boring “best of” list

10. Ammoncontact - With Voices (review posted below)
9. Barbara Morgenstern - The Grass is Always Greener
8. Burial - Burial
7. Mono - You Are There
6. Phelan Sheppard - Harp’s Old Master
5. Junior Boys - This is Goodbye
4. Grizzly Bear - Yellow House
3. Ryan Teague - Coins and Crosses
2. Xela - The Dead Sea (review posted below)
1. Joanna Newsom - Ys
(All of these except, maybe, the top 5 will change.)
