Anything you've been really impressed with so far?

Mentioned in another thread, I love the new Marriages Salome record. That's probably my favorite so far. Really like the singer and guitarist Emma Ruth Rundle's solo Some Heavy Ocean from last year, and the Marriages debut EP Kitsune from 2012 too.

And the Marika Hackman debut this year, kind of a folk music buddy of the great Laura Marling who also has a really nice record out this year, I just like listening to it a lot, We Slept At Last. It's not gonna be in many best of the year lists, but I really like it.

And the latest from Jim O'Rourke is pretty special, he doesn't often put out these pop vocal records, and so his new Simple Songs is a real treat for fans.

Sleater-Kinney, Maribou State, Jenny Hval, Mount Eerie, Natalie Prass, Steven Wilson, those are some others I like, what are some on your list? Upcoming new ones from PJ Harvey and Julia Holter that I'm really looking forward to.
