60. Explosions In The Sky – Disintegration Anxiety ( The Wilderness )  I had the ultimate honor of finally seeing Explosion In The Sky live and it was one of the best shows and hands down the best performance I ever witnessed. It especially helped me understand the progression of the band from their greatest albums to their newer work on Take Care, Take Care or The Wilderness . As post-rock had to come to reach a dead end in its formula of the early 2000, it was hard to imagine most bands moving on, expanding their sound and making good on staying relevant without falling into a cycle of repetition. "Disintegration Anxiety" shows EITS going deeper into a narrative and more imaginative kind of songwriting, playing on the themes of nature’s grandeur and ever-changing flow, furthering the bands own sonic palette.

40. Majical Cloudz – Are You Alone? ( Are You Alone? ) This song is just pure bliss. It´s descriptive power, it´s intricate message of human sadness and the interpersonal longing for understanding and being understood. What Majical Cloudz have crafted here is more then just a simple song, it´s a glittering questioning of what feeling sad and forlorn means and views this through the lens of an onlooker, a close friend seeing the pain of his loved one. In its sweet melodies and hazy atmosphere, the words will hit you the hardest. Are You Alone might be one of the best example of crafting a song with as few elements as possible and of writing a deep song with the simpelst words there are without becoming cheesy or redundant. 39. Humeysha – Burma Between You And Me ( Humeysha ) This is one artists, you´ll just have to check out this year! The approach of mixing, in the widest sense, Indian music with western "rock" music has been around for quite sometime....
