[Russic]

I'm participating in #monm for the first time this year (Rdio RULES). Enjoying it quite a bit. So far:

Dustin Kensrue - Please Come Home (slightly bluesy, City and Colour kind of sound. I really liked it)

The Black Keys - Attack and Release (Haven't heard anything by them prior to their latest. Quite impressed with this one, surprisingly mellow at times)

Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds - Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds (As a fan of old Oasis when all the songs sounded the same, this is a great album. If Liam's "Beady Eye" isn't your cup of tea, this is much more "Oasis-y")

Hedley - Storms (Music snobs attack! Not quite my cup of tea, but as far as pop music goes it isn't that bad. A couple of pretty rough tracks but the cheesy emo ballads are catchy).

Honourable mention goes to M83 - Hurry Up, We're Dreaming. While not a part of my #monm, I've been listening to it a lot lately. If the 80's were done right it would sound like this.
