Four Tet – There Is Love In You
Ghostly samples and delicate melodies make this album as beautiful as it is dancey.

Laura Marling – I Speak Becuase I Can
Marling’s neu-folk songwriting talents have never felt quite as boundless, fresh or poignant.

Mark Ronson and the Business Intl – Record Collection
After Valerie and before Uptown Funk, Ronson delivered his first attempt at all new material – and the results are largely brilliant.

Key song: Somebody To Love Me (ft. Boy George)

While their contemporaries and collaborators James Blake and Jamie xx may get all the plaudits, Mount Kimbie are arguably the greatest exponents of the “post dub-step” movement.

MGMT – Congratulations
There was no second coming of Electric Feel, but there was a brilliant assortment of experimental pop music.

Key song: Flash Delirium

Pantha du Prince – Black Noise

Key song: Dancing on My Own

Sia – We Are Born
Before she caught the international eye and began covering her face, Sia released her most complete album.

Key song: You’ve Changed

Sleigh Bells – Treats
They set up stage with a wall of amplifiers, and then dazzle with some old-school pop melodies somewhere amid the cacophony.

Key song: Rill Rill

Sufjan Stevens – Age of Adz
Stevens at his most edgy and experimental – it doesn’t all work, but when it comes together its magic.

Key song: Age of Adz

Tame Impala – Innerspeaker
The debut album from Kevin Parker’s psych-rock project introduced the world to Australia’s most singular talent of the decade.

Key song: Solitude is Bliss

Vampire Weekend – Contra
The preppy darlings of the American alt-rock indie scene were struggling to find their voice; but even then remain fascinating.

Key song: White Sky
