I didn't collect a lot of new music this year, but two albums made me stand up and take notice.
Bon Iver: i,i
He just continues to impress me with his ingenuity while having traditional sound structures. Always a pleasure to listen to.
He even comes close to rocking out on one song.
Angel Olsen: All Mirrors
She's evolving from the quiet folk sound to a grander scale. This album is a major step forward for her.
