This is always an exciting and painful time for me. To go through the collection of music I've collected, admired, created to, and have been obsessed with. To have to shift through all of the lovelies and select my favorites. Difficult. I've made a mix this year that you can download below. My favorite ten albums of the year in no particular order are:
James Blake - CMYK - More
Bonobo - Black sands - More
Efterklang - Magic Chairs - More
Arpline - Travel Book - More
Versis - iLLCANDESCENT - More
Local Natives - Gorilla Manor - More
The Black Keys - Brothers - More
Baths - Cerulean - More
Teebs - Ardour - More
Flying Lotus - Cosmogramma - More
