Top Albums 2015

Here are my favorite albums from the past year (here’s last year’s list):

Neon Indian – Vegas Intl. Night School

Sounds like summer. Makes me wanna go to a block party. And I don’t even like parties most of the time.

Tame Impala – Currents

Every few weeks, I keep finding another song to love.

Tunde Olaniran – Transgressor

There’s so much going on. So much to like. And I always feel a surge of pride when it comes to excellent Michigan musicians.

Sleater-Kinney – No Cities To Love

Sometimes I really want to listen to Sleater-Kinney and sometimes I really don’t… but ultimately I think they are one of the great unorthodox rock bands.

Screaming Females – Rose Mountain

A cleaner, well-produced sound only makes Paternoster’s wailing (via voice and guitar) hit harder.

Dan Deacon – Gliss Riffer

Bottled optimistic energy.
