			<description><![CDATA[It took them a few years to finally get their début album Sigh No More together, but the final record was more than worth the wait. The earnest 'Cave' and the heart warming 'Winter Winds'  proved Mumford & Sons are more than Noah and The Whale's young pretenders. ]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[7.Japandroids - Post Nothing (Polyvinyl)]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA['Got a foghorn and a drum and a hammer that's rockin'/And a cord and a pedal and a lock, that'll do me for now'. Yep, that's pretty much it. If a band ever took a song literally, it would be Japandroids. Post Nothing is the sound of youth exploding onto vinyl in a way that has not been done since Daydream Nation and it sounds just as vital.

			<description><![CDATA[A couple of years ago this troupe of bouffant toting art school wannabes were wrote off as yet another overrated NME band. Yet, out of nowhere,  the Horrors managed to turn no-wave drivel into kraut rock aural gold, before you had the time to say 'That Faris, what a wan...'. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Having left The Knife and her brother behind, many worried that Karin Dreijer would lack the depth and artistry to match her previous band's work. Yet, within the first few bars of album opener 'If I Had A Heart' all worries were quickly dispelled.  On this haunting solo album Karin proved there are no limits to the boundaries of her creativity.

			<title><![CDATA[4.Grizzly Bear - Veckatimest (Warp) ]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[The third album from the experimental group proved to be their best yet. It was one the most anticipated at the beginning of 2009 and duly lived up to the hype, which is why some considerable months on it manages to make it to near the top of our list. Every song was  laboured over and meticulously worked until it oozed perfection. Form the joyous multi-vocal harmonies to the intricate instrumentation each moment on this record is something to behold.]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[3.Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavilion (Domino)]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[The Baltimore outfit have been steadily pushing the boundaries of their music for the last decade. Having started off  with minimal acoustic explorations their transformation to Merriweather Post Pavilion has been astonishing and dividing. The album saw the band begin to channel that experimentation into more accessible songs, resulting in full blown shimmering pop songs that alienated a few but blew many more away with their sheer magnificence. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Their vocals might sound like an excruciating exercise in self flagellation, but Wild Beasts are the most forward thinking and creative band who still still adopt 'traditional' instruments. On Two Dancers they once again proved you can still craft songs in innovative and imaginative ways using just your own raw talent. 'All The King's Men' and 'Hooting And Howling' are the most boldly original pop-songs of the year and provided just a glimpse of this truly magnificent album.]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[1. Fuck Buttons - Tarot Sport (ATP)]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[Tarot Sport is a testament to and continuation of Fuck Buttons' endeavours through sound, guided by laptops, drum machines and synthesisers. Throughout, shimmering synthesisers swirl like a cascade of stars, while droning organs tear through the tracks , all dragged along by pounding military beats, leading to a dark euphoric state. Tarot Sport is a work of epic proportions, matched only in its brilliance by its originality, which is why it makes it to the top of our list. ]]></description>
