5. Wilco-The Whole Love
4. Bill Callahan-Apocalypse
3. Iron & Wine-Kiss Each Other Clean
2. Destroyer-Kaputt

I couldn't help but identify some 2011 observations:

If The Graduate were remade, this would be the new soundtrack: Alexander-Alexander
And this would be the new Mrs. Robinson-Truth

The Bon Iver impersonation award: James Vincent McMorrow-Early in the Morning
