1. Ghost- Prequelle: Probably their most mainstream accessible album, but it's still great. Strong 80's metal vibes...and a sax solo. Favorite Track: Faith https://youtu.be/hYpTINMyqcE
2. Spiritualized- And Nothing Hurt: A slow, mellow psych record that couldn't sound more like Spiritualized. The production is weird and the songs aren't perfect but i still love it. A fitting final album. Favorite Track: Here It Comes https://youtu.be/nuYKUWM_o60
3. Acid Dad- self titled: Garage-punk with excellent guitar work. One of the better acts I saw during sxsw this year. The album doesn't quite capture the live show but it's a very solid debut effort. Favorite Track: Marine https://youtu.be/Qttx84snC_I
4. Moondoggies- A Love Sleeps Deep: Their best album since their debut. Great Americana rock, the keys and pedal steel on this really shine in comparison to their older material. These guys are very underrated, one of the best shows I saw this year...and about 15 people there. Favorite Track: Cinders https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCA_tKk0p80
5. All Them Witches- ATW: Slow burning blues psych, less exploratory noodling and more riffs than their last album. Favorite Track: Harvest Feast https://youtu.be/kIpl1rHdh4U
6. Buxton- Stay Out Late: Americana, more folk and less rock than the Moondoggies. They have a unique sound and good songwriting. Some of their songs have a haunting quality. Favorite Track: Bood Runs Blue https://youtu.be/-DcLugXnqJw
7. Still Corners- Slow Air: This falls into the "dream pop" category with atmospheric songs and soft vocals. There are more upbeat songs and guitar solos than what I would typically think of for the genre. I find it to be a very enjoyable, relaxing album. Favorite Track: The Message https://youtu.be/p50k_kklM7g
8. Wooden Shjips- V: I'm a sucker for their heavy droning psych sound. If you want to get stoned, sit on the couch and mindlessly listen to an album this is the perfect one. Favorite Track: Golden Flower https://youtu.be/QqlzORBNAcg
9. Donkeys- Sun Damaged Youth: A post apocalyptic concept album about surfers/skaters in California. Lots of surf guitar and organ, and some synth thrown in. Favorite Track: Kool Kids https://youtu.be/Kr6ZGN9lYaE
10. Dead Meadow- The Nothing They Need: They return to the stoner rock riffs that defined them. Their best effort in a while. Favorite Track: Here with the hawk https://youtu.be/Hr24tntCnTY
