The Besnard Lakes retain the top position as I'm not tiring of their album one bit, in fact, it's becoming part of my DNA. Dead Meadow's Three Kings is almost the perfect compliment, with it's hypnotically alluring psychedelics. Broken Bells CD is rapidly gaining on those two, as the James Mercer/Danger Mouse collaboration is an amazing amalgam of styles, beautifully put together. The new releases of Walking Sleep and Torches In Trees are also in continuous rotation, and newcomers, Pepper Rabbit, really impressed me at The Echo last week, so I picked up their CD, Shakes and Clicks, and it's a winner.
