Soko - "I Thought I was an Alien"
One of my favorite albums this year has Soko's I Thought I was an Alien. Simple bedroom pop arrangements create the perfect setting for French musician / actress Stephanie Sokolinski's confessional lyrics. Her delivery is so straight forward at times it can be shocking in a zen like way. The title track (above) is perhaps the most upbeat, optimistic song on the album but nearly every song is as simply and well crafted as this one. If you like, be sure to check out the touching (albeit nsfw) video for "We Might Be Dead Tomorrow"here.
