1.Phoenix - Wolfgang Amadeus
"Essentially, the record finds Phoenix doing what they do supremely well – danceable indie-pop with touches of shoegaze guitar and ambient electro."
see "1901" and "Lasso"
2.The xx - xx
As it is, with all their knobs set to downbeat, there's something restrained and knowing here that will trouble some newcomers.
see "Crystalized" and "Islands"
3.The Big Pink - A Brief History of Love
"A Brief History of Love is a dazzlingly good debut, carefully mixing guitars and electronics in densely layered and carefully textured songs."
see "Velvet"
