Blackstar

The Master's farewell present to us, Bowie at his most haunting.

The National: their 2013 album Trouble Will Find Me has the perfect blend of melody, tense rhythm and suppressed aggression. Look up their recent performance on SNL.
Indian wedding band meets Israeli folk music meets brooding Jonny Greenwood (Radiohead). Hugely uplifting album, the accompanying 50 minute video is a must see.

As we would say in India: "Amajing!". Great horn section, vocals, lyrics. The last song, "Outside of Space and Time" is easily one of the most beautiful songs of the year.

A Moon Shaped Pool

Love love love this album, Radiohead back in form after the miss of King of Limbs. Sounds best on vinyl. Indian Customs held up the shipment for two months and finally cleared this threat to national security early september.
