This was a great year in terms of new music. Some other albums I really liked this year were Smother- Wild Beasts, The Big Roar-The Joy Formidable, Dreams Come True-CANT, Gloss Drop-Battles, Dye it Blond-Smith Westerns, Circuital-My Morning Jacket, Belong-The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, and Nine Types of Light-TV on the Radio.

As for me, I am a life-long Vermonter and currently a student at St. Michael’s College, studying music and journalism (maybe philosophy too). I just wanted to extend a big thank you to Pure Pop for being the best damn record store I could ask for. You guys make buying music the experience it should be.
