Mid-Year Album Picks from Galdor
"Foals - Holy Fire
3rd album from the band, shows a strong old fashion guitar base band. Awesome tunes with sounds going back and forth from pop to hard rock will make you jump to your feet and dance away.
Daft Punk - Random Access Memory
After waiting for just too long for this release while promotion over flooded the media, everything pointed for this band to disappoint but, after hearing the whole album for the first time it made me think this two guys really pull it off nicely. Sometimes so different from the other albums but in all, not so far from the distinctive sound we're used to.
Johnny Marr - The Messanger
Not much more to say about this album but FREAKING AWESOME.
From The Smiths, working with Bernard Summers (New Order) in Electronic to Modest Mouse and now as Solo, Marr still has too much to offer. A must have in any music library.
Other albums that i had to leave out but are worth mentioning are:
- Bonobo - The North Borders
- Beady Eyes - BE
- Eels - Wonderful, Glorious
- Depeche Mode - Delta Machine
- City Society - City Society
- Guards - In Guards We Trust
- The KVB - Immaterial Visions
- Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Push the Sky Away
- The Neighbourhood - I Love You
and many others… so much to hear, so little time…"

Mid-Year Album Picks from Lucy
"Savages - I am Here
Ok, so this is derivative, and very Siouxsie, but it's done so stylishly, so darn well that it keeps knocking my little black socks off. Faultless really.
Lebanon Hanover - Why Not Just Be Solo
Slight cheat as this was released in 2012 but I seem to recall late 2012. I don't care anyhow as it's a marvel of introspective, angsty, nihilism. 'Sadness is Rebellion' as their strapline goes and LH are rebelling against everything with thundering bass, staccato drums and discordant guitars guaranteed to raise the hairs on your neck. I adore it :)
Editors - The Weight of Your Love
Hmm, edges in here due to the first three tracks being absolutely storming. The jury's out on the remainder but the Bunnymen-esque start really is that good that I'll forgive the remaining tracks pretty much anything."

Moby Tenenbaum's Mid-Year Album Picks
"• “Floating Coffin,” by Thee Oh Sees. No band pulls together psychedelia, noise, garage, and punk into one neat ball—and has so much fun doing it.
• “Heza,” by Generationals. The third album by two guys from New Orleans and their friends. Shimmering, catchy, mostly upbeat tunes that draw from a variety of sources—Britpop and Motown among them—and are filtered through a contemporary indie-rock lens. (I also saw them perform live in a small club a couple months ago in front of an adoring crowd and can attest that they’re the real deal.)
• “Head in the Dirt,” by Hanni El Khatib. Young California dude whose rock ‘n’ roll soul is as pure as the driven snow and tinged mostly by garage and blues. His first album, “Will the Guns Come Out,” was one of the year’s best in 2011 and his newest one is better yet. He’ll remind you of the Black Keys’ Dan Auerbach, who produced this album."
