Kvelertak - KvelertakNorwegian hardcore with a wonderfully melodic aspect. The fact the lyrics are in their native language matters not a jot.
Arcade Fire - Neon Bible
Intensely passionate and anthemic indie.
Opeth - Damnation
A gorgeously understated album from the prog metal giants. Just beautiful music.
Archie Bronson Outfit - Derdang Derdang
Raw and visceral with primal beats. Fantastic stuff.
The White Stripes - White Blood Cells
Raw, although on occasions subtle and heartfelt blues from Jack and Meg, with additional folk and country influence. The album which really drew me into the weird and wonderful White Stripes world.
First Aid Kit - The Big Black and the Blue
Melodic heart wrenching folk, with wonderful female harmonies.
Brakes - Give Blood
A brilliantly diverse album, ranging from punk to country to disco and back, inclusive equal amounts anger and humour. Tom White says more in a matter of seconds, than Noel Gallagher during a whole album.
Bo Ningen - Bo Ningen
An album which took a little corner of ITunes Ping by storm. Crazy Japanese psychedelic noise, which again, the native language doesn't affect in the slightest.
Pulled Apart by Horses - Pulled Apart by Horses
More melodic hardcore, this time from Leeds, with an injection of Yorkshire humour.
Blanche - If We Can't Trust The Doctors
Gothic country from the most eccentric of Detroit bands, with Jack White's mate, Jack Lawrence (Raconteurs) on bass. Deeply dark and sinister.
