I feel like I've only listened to about 7 records this year or something, but Godspeed, Swans, Hot Chip, and the Mountain Goats would all be on my list. Oh, and that Lambchop album, if that came out this year.

I just got a copy of Swans today, liked but kind of forgot about Mountain Goats and haven't heard the other two. I was thinking that I have no clue what the big records are this year. Grimes? Frank Ocean?
