A quickly culled list of my favorite albums so far this year.
• Black Keys - Brothers
• Broken Bells - Broken Bells
• Broken Social Scene - Forgiveness Rock Record
• Frightened Rabbit - The Winter of Mixed Drinks
• Hold Steady - Heaven is Whenever
• Janelle Monáe - The ArchAndroid
• Mimicking Birds - Mimicking Birds
