All Dogs- Kicking Every Day (Salinas)- Maryn Jones had a really good year imho Cloakroom- Further Out (Run for Cover)- Member of Grown Ups makes cool shoegaze-y stuff. Dogs on Acid- Dogs on Acid (Jade Tree)- Members of Algernon Cadwallader and Glocca Morra make cool indie-rock stuff. Hop Along- Painted Shut (Saddle Creek)- I underestimated this artist until this year and was kinda blown away. Laura Stevenson- Cocksure (Don Giovanni)- Amazing artist deviating a bit from her previous folky stuff but coming out with an album that I wish I had written. Saintseneca- Such Things (Anti-)- I’ve been obsessed with every Saintseneca release since I heard God’s Bones on an Indie-Rock Playlist in 2008. Really cool to see how their songwriting and recording production has evolved over the years. The Story So Far- The Story So Far (Pure Noise)- By far the best band making this genre of music. Sufjan Stevens- Carrie and Lowell (Asthmatic Kitty)- I can get behind this Sufjan album. Waxahatchee- Ivy Tripp (Wichita)- Really stoked by how many great albums were written by female songwriters this year. Westkust- Last Forever (Run for Cover)- Members of Makthaverskan making really cool music out of Sweden. Honourable Mention: Sheer Mag- II (7”)- This band shreds hard. Excited to see if they come out with a full length in 2016. Radiator Hospital- Torch Song (2014)- This came out in September, 2014 but I didn’t listen to it until this year and I kinda got obsessed.
