Yes you should check out the Kayo Dot album-it's immense.

I've only got a handful of albums released this year, and the only ones that really impressed me are Nick Cave's 'Dig Lazarus Dig' (easily the pick of the year for me), Mercury Rev's 'Snowflake Midnight' and the self-titled effort from the Week That Was. Good to see all these nominations though - I'll definitely have to check a few of them out in future
