Sunken Foal -
Fallen Arches
Such a beautifully organic electronic and acoustic album. The man behind
Sunken Foal is part of the duo known as
Ambulance, whose 2003 album
Curse of Vale Do Lobo has been one of my favorite discoveries this year. I'll let the label speak for it:

Dublin act Sunken Foal consists of one Duncan Murphy and occasional friends and collaborators when they record or play live. Fallen Arches is their amazing debut album of intensely evocative guitar-based electronic music, with piano, strings and occasional vocals which build up and then collapse under the weight of digital rhythms that twist and turn at every juncture. Sounding not unlike an Irish Fennesz playing mandolin, these twelve organic-sounding compositions have a definite 'plucked' feel with the ever-present detuning adding a slight unsettling mood which feels right at home on Planet Mu.
