Heard it through the Snapesvine

As of August 21 2012, I truly state that my favourite albums of this year so far (not limited to ones that have actually come out yet) are:

1. Grizzly Bear - Shields (hear “Yet Again”)
2. Menomena - Moms (“Heavy is as Heavy Does”)
3. Field Music - Plumb (“I Keep Thinking About a New Thing”)
4. Sharon Van Etten - Tramp (“In Line”)
5. Mount Eerie - Ocean Roar (“Ocean Roar”)

So there we go.
