music of 2008

Still reflecting on 2008, here are my top albums released last year. As record reviews are incomprehensible and difficult to write, I've chosen two words to describe each album:

1. The Dodos – Visiter: insistent and compelling
   
2. Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes: melodic and shimmering
   
3. The Microphones - The Glow pt. 2 (reissue): discordant and haunting
   
4. Vampire Weekend - Vampire Weekend: eager and fun
   
5. The National - The Virginia EP: rich and lyrical
   
6. The Accidental - There Were Wolves: soothing and hopeful
   
7. Sigur Rós - með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust: twinkling and incomprehensible
