My top 5 of 2014 so far:
5) Container - Adhesive : (Industrial Techno) I'm not usually into this stuff but its so damn good. Can't resist shaking myself around like crazy everytime I put it on.
4) Yvette Young - Acoustics: (Acoustic math rock) This girl can play guitar like nothing I've ever heard. Her voice is a bit too 'disney princess' but the songs are so good I don't even care anymore.
3) Fire! Orchestra! - Enter!: (Jazzy Experimental rock?) Interesting stuff on this I like the jazziness.
2) Ichiko Aoba - 0% ((avant) folk, field recordings): Japanese live album of another acoustic guitarist. Listen if only for 'IMPERIAL SMOKE TOWN' you won't regret it.
1) Langdon Alger - Following the lizard queen (anti folk/folk punk/weird folk): An acoustic EP written from the perspective of an unknown simpsons character who becomes obsessed with Lisa Simpson, going to extreme lengths to stalk her. Can't recommend highly enough I think its only like a quid on bandcamp.
