Neon Indian – VEGA INTL. Night School
Our decade’s equivalent of: 2006’s FutureSex/LoveSounds by Justin Timberlake

Standout track: Annie
Get it on iTunes
Kelela – Cut 4 Me (Deluxe)
Our decade’s equivalent of: 2005’s Arular by M.I.A.

Lyrics that lodge in your mind: “Swallow my pride, I fill another application out”
Standout track: Rewind, from this year’s Hallucinogen EP
Clarence Clarity – The No Now
Our decade’s equivalent of: 1997’s Come to Daddy by Aphex Twin
