The best albums so far this year come from a mix of newcomers, old timers and bands that have rapidly risen to indie prominence in the past few years.
One of the newcomers listed below, Ethers, hasn’t released its album yet. Look for that one in August.
Here’s the list in alphabetical order by artist:
Courtney Barnett – Tell Me How You Really Feel
Car Seat Headrest – Twin Fantasy
Hop Along – Bark Your Head Off Dog
Superchunk – What a Time to Be Alive
All the Young Punks
