1.)I cant get enough of David Byrne and St. Vincents Love This Giant- its quirky and reminiscent of Talking heads, but also showcases Annie Clark's experimental sensibilities and horn driven sounds
2.) Tom Waits-Bad As Me, definitely breaks some new ground on this one, which for Mr Waits, seems so effortless. How he keeps fresh after 40 years is beyond me, but its partly due to the fact that he is always evolving and another artist who isn't afraid to experiment with his sound. He was industrial before it was cool
3.) Mumford & Sons-Sigh No More, its epic folk rock, deep and soulful lyrics and just moves me in a way most folk just doesn't. Besides Marcus Mumford has a great vocal quality that captivates and stirs. HE spills his souls as does the band and that is hard to ignore, but also gets you moving with strong, tribal like back beats
