Sharon Van Etten – Tramp
Sharon Van Etten has quickly become one of my favorite new artists. Her sound has evolved quite a bit since her debut Because I Was In Love, which is lovely but also incredibly mopey. In contrast, Tramp is louder and richer. Normally I’d complain about this but I think it suits Van Etten rather well. Stream the entire album over at

The Twilight Sad – No One Can Ever Know
Since its release in 2009, I’ve come to love The Twilight Sad’s Forget the Night Ahead, but it took a while. It’s a dark, frightening record – I don’t recommend listening to it alone at night. On their latest album, No One Can Ever Know, the band expands its use of synthesizers, resulting in a somewhat less intimidating experience. Listen to it here.

Of Montreal – Paralytic Stalks
I’m not quite sure what to say about Paralytic Stalks. Probably because I’ve only listened to it once (stream the entire album over at
Spinner). However, I don’t think subsequent listens will change my initial opinion: that it’s off-putting and overwhelming. If you’re new to Of Montreal, I recommend starting with Hissing Fauna, which is indie pop at its finest.
