2014 was a goddamn fantastic year for music. Rather than go into great detail as to why I chose these particular releases., I'm just going to give a one sentence description max for each band/album. Mostly I’ll just let the music speak for itself. Without further adieu, here are my top picks for 2014!

1. The Contortionist – Language
