Fleet Foxes - Self-titled Debut

This album isn't out yet, but you need to get it as soon as it does. Will probably go down as the best album of 2008. Local Seattle outfit on Subpop has blown up recently after a nice review of their EP on Pitchfork. Think Crosby, Stills and Nash, 4 part melodies, feel good country camp fire gorgeosities. This is a must have.

Panda Bear - Person Pitch

Like Pitchfork, this was easily my favorite album of last year. Panda Bear is the drummer from Animal Collective and you can definitely see the similarities, but this album is definitely unique as well. As my good friend Miguel described to me; think tribal and dub music produced by Four Tet and sung by Brian Wilson. Ummm...ya!
