Thanks, guys...I hope everyone finds an album or two they didn't think of listening to.

This may be me selling out, but Spotify is the best 10 bucks I spend every month. I'm constantly amazed at the library of music they have. There are some key hold outs (notable Pink Floyd...when I get into a Pink Floyd mood and I can't listen to them, people better stay out of my way) but for the most part they don't disappoint.

And I really liked the Frank Ocean album, but alas, it did not make my top 25.

Did you like any other Swans albums? If you did, you are sure to enjoy the Seer...it really is everything good about the last 20 years boiled into one album.

Really looking forward to the rest of this, duga.
I find a lot of people feel that way about the Beach House album, but there is just something very hypnotic and appealing about their music to me. And I do highly recommend that Tamaryn album along with their debut the Waves. Syncopation and counterpoint are key to keeping a shoegaze album interesting, and Rex really knows what he is doing.
