Fave Weird/Leftfield/Alternative LPs of the Year

[Lancashire Fusileer]

LPs that are sometimes a bit weird but very accessible & lotsa fun. Seeing some people want new interesting soundz.

I'll start the ball rolling (with spammy reviews attached if you can be arsed, otherwise ignore & google the artists)

The ones I play tons are
Wild Beasts! (but we all know of them)
British Sea Power - Man of Aran (weird because Sea Power are always a bit weird)

Nice. Links to the bands' music/ websites on each review would be a nice addition.

Great website by the way. http://www.inmusic.nl/

What about the wonderful Yellow6?

[Lancashire Fusileer]

As I said, I only started the ball rolling on this thread, otherwise it's gonna look like a total spam-fest from me. So telll us about them, pal. I see they're big mates with Beligium's tremendous Fear Falls Burning, which is always a good thing
