when KoL moved away from being cult and in to the big league. Great songs.

The main album is very good indeed. The Christmas album is a bonus - particularly for Cruel Moon

Fantastic mini-album. All six songs are top-class.
Everything's The RushEverything's The Rush by Delays

Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaustMeð suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust by Sigur Ros
Buy new: £7.38 / Used from: £3.61
Probably Sigur Ros's most instant album. As always, sonically beautiful. Ara Batur is amazing.
Fleet FoxesFleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £4.79
Gorgeous harmonies. A lovely classic 70's feel to this collection of well-crafted songs.
We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things.We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things. by Jason Mraz
Buy new: £4.68 / Used from: £5.80
One of those 'bottled sunshine' albums. I'm Yours and Beautiful Mess are superb songs.
RedRed by Guillemots
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £1.39
A strong follow-up to Through the Windowpane.
Happiness Is The RoadHappiness Is The Road by Marillion
Buy new: £10.88 / Used from: £8.02
Nowhere NEAR as perfect as Marbles (their best album), but this grows on you over time.
Here We StandHere We Stand by The Fratellis
Buy new: £2.98 / Used from: £1.09
Fratellis are what they are - fun pop-rock. Not as good as their debut, but still a worthy effort.
