Albums of 2013: Part Two

So this is it. This is the antithesis of what we should be doing as a music site. That's probably the worst way to start any post ever, but when we're less than 10 days away from February and only just finishing our records of the year from the year prior; we have to put our hands up and say it.

We're going to do better for you some time, we promise. There's change coming, we'll inform you all about it soon.

In the mean time, here's the biggest and best rundown we can muster whilst we're on hiatus.

39. Connan Mockasin - Caramel

38. Matthew E White - Big Inner

37. Deafheaven - Sunbather

36. The Men - New Moon


35. Sigur Ros - Kveikur
"In recent years, viking funerals in which the deceased is sent out to sea on a burning pyre have somewhat decreased in popularity. However, if a standard cremation simply isn't your thing, Sigur Ros' latest release 'Kveikur' will serve as the perfect soundtrack." Lewis Shaw ()


34. Kavinsky - Outrun
I (Braden) maintain that if Daft Punk had made a concept album with the amount of power Kavisnky pushes in Outrun and then whacked their collaborators in there, we'd all be heralding it as one of the albums of the decade; but it wasn't to be. Luckily, Kavinsky made this record anyway.


33. The Haxan Cloak - Excavation


32. Janele Monae - The Electric Lady


31. The Pastels - Slow Summits


30. Deerhunter - Monomania


29. Volcano Choir - Repave
