i recently got a few albums
Janelle MonĂ¡e - The Archandroid
apart from all the praise both here and at other site specializing in music (ie this is the number 5 rated album for 2010 on RYM)....the cover is just kind of intriguing....this album is an amazing mixture of pop, experimental and sci-fi....i love it....and now i need to hear the previous ep
Sightings - Through The Panama

James suggested this to me.....really good spastic noise rock..sort of a less structured Liars.....at times its ear piercing goodness....at other times it's almost tribalistic with jarring shanks of noise.....quite good
Wooden Wand - Death Seat

well this is the band opening for Swans in March....and i've never actually heard his albums by himself....this is really good mixture of gothic country (i guess) folk, singer-songwriter type stuff....fits very well within the "Young God" catalogue
