10. Toro Y Moi - Underneath the Pine
9. Washed Out - Within Without
8. Craft Spells - Idle Labor
7. Kurt Vile - Smoke Ring for My Halo
6. Yuck - Yuck
5. Kevin Devine - Between The Concrete And Clouds
4. Drake - Take Care
3. The War on Drugs - Slave Ambient
2. Destroyer - Kaputt
1. Real Estate - Days
