I am a former Pure Pop employee and have been putting together my favorite albums every year since my wonderful tenure at the ol’ Pop.
In addition, I really enjoyed:
Xiu Xiu – Always
Dum Dum Girls – End of Daze EP
Burial – Kindred EP
Holy Other – Held
Aluna George – You Know You Like It EP (For anyone that loved that Katy B album last year)
Grimes – Visions
Ty Segall – Twins
Swans – The Seer
Crystal Castles – III
