4th Place - Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago
5th Place - Fleet Foxes - Self-Titled
If you guys read my blog more than once a month by accidentally clicking the bookmark you made 2 years ago, you would know I’ve been hyping both these albums.

Fleet Foxes are a Brian Wilson influenced band that trade songs about California Girls for hymns about woodland creatures, while Justin Vernon’s Bon Iver was devised, written and recorded in a cabin over a Wisconsin Winter after a band breakup.
Bon Iver - Flume and Skinny Love
Fleet Foxes - Tiger Mountain Peasant Song and White Winter Hymnal
