While it lacks some of the gritty distortion of the previous two albums, I appreciate the new direction and risk of trying something new. I'm really digging the track Mickey Mouse as of late. It has just enough of Wavve's signature lo-fi sound, but with a drum machine and lyrics you can actually understand (for the most part).
Can't post the track, but you can hear it here.

Next up, the experimental Brooklynites, Yeasayer.
Yeasayer is another band that had a huge year, primarily due to the universally adored Ambling Alp and O.N.E., as well as creepy, yet emotional, video for Madder Red. Now don't get me wrong, I too am a fan of those tracks, but I wanted to show some love to another favorite of mine, that tends to be overlooked. Without further ado, the track the band describes as a "four-and-a-half-minute-long mixtape love ballad", I Remember.
Can't post the track, but you hear it here.
