Nice list. I think my favorite of the year actually ended up being the Murlocs' Manic Candid Episode which I don't think I've seen on any other list. Great soulful country-inflected garage-psych. The Tourist Activities' EP was another release that snuck up on me at the end of the year, kind of jangly Smiths-influenced female-fronted mope-indie with a bit of surf-rock in the guitar tone at times.
