Fair enough. Forgot about the National.

Mostly because they’re so forgettable.

Forgot to vote in July, so I’d like to ‘spend’ my outstanding points on bumping Everything Everything up above Grizzly Bear, thanks.

I thought The War On Drugs would walk it as first place in August, The thread on their new album has over 100 replies and many posting on there seem to regard it very highly, even AOTY worthy. Maybe many of the those that posted there didn’t vote here. Glad a relatively small artist like EMA, who’s been around a while but can’t sell out the huge venues like those others on that list, is in second place.

Surprised Orc didn’t make it

#51

More people need to listen to Mermaidens

#52

Not heard of them. What sort of music is it? Link their best song on here if you can.

#53

Coming out late in the month probably didn’t help TWOD score.

#54

Perhaps, but EMA, Liars, Brand New and QOTSA came out on the last Friday of the month; the same day as TWOD.

I thought the Grizzly Bear album was unremarkable.

Thought Everything Everything would walk this, even though I’ve not heard it. Proper DiS band

#57

I voted Grizzly Bear for #3 but I don’t disagree with you, it seems to be missing something compared to Shields. I like the way the second half of Shields feels like it’s building just to get to “Half Gate”, which to me is far and away the best song they’ve ever done. Nothing seems to come close to it on the new one.

They’re a Flying Nun band. Kinda rockier, edgier Warpaint…?

Dunno, that’s probably a lazy, borderline sexist description, just picking up on the female vocals. Probably not even all that rockier or edgier, either. At any rate, here’s Satsuma:

speaking of Warpaint:
