I think this has been one of the worst years for new music. I liked High Violet by The National and Lisbon by the Walkmen. Sufjan Stevens album was pretty good, but nothing was great. If this year was shit next year has to be better. Here is something to look forward to. Its from Iron and Wine's new album called Kiss Each Other Clean (1/25). The Song is Walking Far From Home. The only thing that sucks about songs coming out so far in advance from their album is that I completely wear them out and I am well on my way to wearing this one out. It is great.
