 | Easy Tiger by Ryan Adams
Buy new: £4.44 / Used from: £2.94 His best album since 'Gold'. Very enjoyable indeed.
|
 | Hand Built By Robots by Newton Faulkner
Buy new: £5.98 / Used from: £4.90 Very talented artist who proves that you don't need a rock guitar to produce exciting music.
|
 | Boxer by The National
Buy new: £3.77 / Used from: £19.93 Catchy, powerful, interesting indie, made more intriguing by the unusually dulcet vocals. Cracking stuff.
|
 | Thirst for Romance by Cherry Ghost
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.35 There's something very Wilco about this band, but you should buy Wilco's album too.
|
 | Sky Blue Sky by Wilco
Buy new: £7.60 / Used from: £4.44 Seriously. You should.
|
 | Puddle City Racing Lights by Windmill
Buy new: £9.48 / Used from: £3.89 A surprisingly good album by a band that you're likely to discover by accident.
|
 | We Can Create by Maps
Buy new: £5.39 / Used from: £5.40 Didn't win the Mercury, but he's probably relieved given the reputation it has for killing off unique talents.
|
 | Fur And Gold by Bat For Lashes
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £4.49 Lots of hype, but justified. Slightly Bjork-ish.
|
 | Our Love to Admire by Interpol
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.96 Should have been better, but still better than most.
|
 | Favourite Worst Nightmare by Arctic Monkeys
Buy new: £7.21 / Used from: £4.63 Better than the first. Well-played.
|
 | Our Earthly Pleasures by Maximo Park
Buy new: £4.14 / Used from: £3.20 I loved the first album, and the second album's more of the same.
|
 | Love It When I Feel Like This by The Twang
Buy new: £4.93 / Used from: £2.99 Essential crowdsurfing music. More please.
|
 | Men's Needs Women's Needs Whatever by Cribs
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.99 This is how good indie should sound. More importantly, this is how every Cribs album has sounded, and they just keep improving.
|
 | The Stage Names by Okkervil River
Buy new: £5.24 / Used from: £5.25 Gorgeous indie album. America and Canada are definitely the homes of good lo-fi.
|
 | Under the Blacklight by Rilo Kiley
Buy new: £5.98 / Used from: £4.11 And talking of lo-fi, you have to mention the new album by one of the brightest lo-fi stars, which is absolutely bang on, as always.
|
 | Fort Nightly by White Rabbits
Buy new: £4.27 / Used from: £17.52 'Navy Wives' is fantastic. Probably my fave song of the year, actually. The whole album runs along those lines. Think Modest Mouse being genetically mutated with the New Pornographers.
|
 | Shotter's Nation by Babyshambles
Buy new: £6.75 / Used from: £5.96 Very cool post-punk album with Doherty back to his best.
|
 | White Chalk by PJ Harvey
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £4.98 PJ Harvey's attempt at being Tori Amos. Tori could pick up a few tips.
|
 | Make Another World by Idlewild
Buy new: £4.97 / Used from: £3.50 Thank God they decided to go back to their roots. Stunning, passionate indie tunes.
|
 | Sing the Greys by Frightened Rabbit
Buy new: £5.17 / Used from: £5.83 Pre-order this now. It's incredibly good.
