These are a few albums I have picked up over the last year that I think are well worth a listen. All of them are in the Alternative vein.
Album: Arcade Fire - The Suburbs
The whole album is good but their main singles "
The Suburbs" and
"Ready To Start" are the highlights.
Album: Tokyo Police Club - Champ
Good album. Their lead single "
Wait Up (Boots of Danger)" is the best song on the album.
Album: Ra Ra Riot - The Orchard
Best song by far is their single "
Boy" but the rest of the album is unique and interesting.
Album: OK Go - Of The Blue Color of the Sky
A bit of a departure from their previous albums but still quite good. Their first single "
This Too Shall Pass" is quite good as is the rest of the album.
That's all I have for now for "new" music. Though a lot of stuff might be new to you.
