Well… Title says it all really??

As obvious as it is, think I’m gonna have to opt for Santogold.

Vampire Weekend, Hercules and Love Affair, Laure Marling, thecocknbullkid, Little Boots and Lykke Li all score VERY high though. And Glasvegas.

Really enjoying Fleet Foxes just now. Also the Bon Iver album, although I think that came out last year Stateside, still qualifies!

The Felice Brothers have blown my mind and opened my eyes and pierced my soul and… (insert your own cliche). They’re amazing! And Glasvegas, at the risk of sounding unoriginal!

I hated Little Boots, and although I enjoyed the Santogold album I think it was a little lacking substance, it had a few standout tracks, but for the most part was throwaway.

Dig, Lazarus, Dig! was good, and Diamanda Galas had another live album out that I’ve yet to check out. Those are probably the highlights of 2008, musically.
