Patrick Watson - Wooden Arms
Andrew Bird - Noble Beast
Grizzly Bear - Veckatimest

I tend to get really picky with the style of harder music and strongly dislike metal, such as the new Mastadon album, which I tried to enjoy. Some of the heavier things I've enjoyed this year are:

The Flaming Lips - Embryonic
The Mars Volta - Octahedron

I know those two are particularly "hard" or "heavy", but there in lies my problem. Where do I go?
Check out Devin Townsend's solo material, it's heavy but not that abrasive. Best albums to check out would be Teria, Accelerated Evolution, Infinity and Biomech: Ocean Machine in that order.
