Mt. Eerie - Wind's Poem

Not sure what the last one is yet, I'm torn between Timber Timbre, A Sunny Day in Glasgow, and Dalek. And Amesoeurs is up there. Those are in no particular order, except that those are my top 4 and one of those others would be number 5. I've really enjoyed this year in music, personally I thought there was a ton of fantastic music. What're yours? You can't make the post and not list them!!!

EDIT: Dear god, I forgot Earthly Delights. That's also tied for number 5.

Can you help me out with a link to the Railcars miniLP?

I downloaded it yesterday.

Thanks roemilca, I have to leave and I'm lazy and don't feel like uploading anything else. Let me know if anyone else wants Embryonic or either railcars though, they're already up.

A lot of you guys seem to be listing grizzly bear. I didn't like it on my first listen but maybe I'll give it another play just to make sure.

In no order,
Manners-Passion Pit
Grand-Matt & Kim
Visiter-The Dodos
Where The Wild Things Are-Karen O & The Kids
Hospice-The Antlers

And tbh, I thought Veckatimest really, really sucked.
