In what way?

Still a few months left but I guess the majority of releases have been and gone. Hopefully there'll be a thread for overall lists for 2009 (I like lists), but I guess there's no harm in warming up with a list of indie releases. I think it's been a good year for music, so it's difficult to narrow it down. Here goes.

The Antlers - Hospice
Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavillion
Japandroids - Post-Nothing
The Pains of Being Pure at Heart - The Pains of Being Pure at Heart
Titus Andronicus - The Airing of Grievances

I'd probably go with those five for the time being, but they're subject to change. Narrowly missing out were The xx, Nick Cave & Warren Ellis, Fever Ray and Flaming Lips.

I didn't like Hospice or Veckatimest that much, I struggled to even get through Hospice a few times because it just bored me. Grizzly Bear had some good songs on there, but it's definitely not top 5 material. For a year like this, with so many fantastic releases, I just don't see what makes either band stand out so much.

Well to be frank, it was pretty damn boring.

Dinosaur Jr. - Farm
HEALTH - Get Colour
Japandroids - Post-Nothing
HORSE the Band - Desperate Living
