Don’t know if they really count, being from Charlotte and all, but Campbell the Band’s “Bear With Us.” http://www.facebook.com/#!/CampbellTheBand
New Moons – Marshall Brown
Drunken Country Curse – Kingslyn
I’m sure I missed a ton of stuff. I don’t get out much. And I usually find out about my favorite albums 1 to 25 years after they come out.
Albums I’ve been excited to dive into:
En Shape – Calculator
Valley Maker
Journey to the Moon – Hannah Miller
New Moons — Marshall Brown
Drunken Country Curse — Kingslyn

VALLEY MAKER x1000.
and kingslyn’s was rad.
and can mike mewborne’s new one (the limited abilities of man) count? it’s technically getting released this year…
Cary Ann Hearst – Are You Ready To Die came out this year too. Most of my favorites have already been mentioned above.
Nobody has mentioned Coma Cinema or Toro y Moi though, but I doubt anybody has forgot either of them.
The Dirty White – Vs. Evil Circles
Valley maker
Marshall brown
and yeah mike mew’s new one is insane, what I’ve heard so far.
Coma Cinema put out some amazing songs, not a good album as a whole. Wish they didn’t suck so fucking bad live.
The Restoration, Kingslyn, Valley Maker
VALLEY MAKER x1000. and kingslyn’s was rad. and can mike mewborne’s new one (the limited abilities of man) count? it’s technically getting released this year…
