In The Shadows Of Monuments
by Vile Electrodes
Probably the best synth band in the UK at the moment. Great songs and great synth work. How it should be done in the 21st century.

Penguin Party
by Sarah Schonert
The album I wish I could have made (despite me not being a singer). It's inventive, witty and beautifully composed and produced.
