So for the latter parts of 2016, I feel like I listened to a lot of acclaimed albums I had never heard all the way through before from previous years, and damn I can't believe I haven't listened to some of this stuff before (or at least spent more time with it). Here are the highlights and albums I'll be coming back to for a long time:

The Shins - Port Of Morrow (really their whole discography, but this album is my favorite)
Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes
Tame Impala - Currents
My Morning Jacket - At Dawn
My Morning Jacket - The Waterfall
Wilco - Being There
Passion Pit - Gossamer
Local Natives - Gorilla Manor
Phosphorescent - Muchacho

Grizzly Bear is the next band on my list to dive into.

Another thing I noticed is that the lead singer of Fleet Foxes (Robin Pecknold) has a lot of vocal similarities to Jim James. Both bands (FF and MMJ) really use the reverb-soaked style really well)

room on fire, the strokes. julian casablancas is just an amazing vocalist

All very good albums

Be patient with grizzly bear, I mean I guess it could be a love at first listen type of situation but their songs have a lot to chew on… It took me a solid month before I appreciated veckatimest. As far as indie bands go they are pretty top class production wise

And this tweet sums up that notion very well:

For me, there isn't a single skippable song and it's just the most consistent the whole way through. I also happen to like the more collaborative sound.

Perfect album for brightening your day too.

Both are due out with new albums very soon.

Tedeschi Trucks Band- Revelator

Really digging this group, they tinge a little too country on some songs but nearly everything in their catalog has a great vibe

thanks for putting pinegrove on here. Never heard of them but im digging this cardinal album. This guy's voice is a little raw but its kind of got its own charm to it. Like a kid just sitting in his room playing.

Theres definitely some throw away songs but overall it's not too bad. Ab-Souls new record blows it away.

Best album by anyone in the past 5 years. Absolutely fantastic. Can't wait for Chris Thile and Brad Mehldau's album to drop.

for me, Radiohead - AMSP (for the 100th time)
