Fleet Foxes - Crack Up: Although I liked their previous two efforts, this one has struck me more. Seems like a more concise body of work and introduces more experimental song structures into their folk rock sound.
Father John Misty - Pure Comedy: Don't love it as much as ILYB, due to it's lack of variety, but it's still an impressive collection of highly critical, cynical but downright funny/insightful songs from FJM.
King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard - Flying Microtonal Banana: I enjoyed the inclusion of Microtonal tuning into teir sound, even it did seem like a really obvious for a band as weird as this. The follow up 'MOTU' is a much more challenging listen though and the excessive Text to speech narrative is bordering on grating.
Alexandra Savior - Belladonna of Sadness: Essentially the baroque pop stylings that Lana Del Rey has always flirted with but here it's taken one step further. None of the songs are outstanding but none are awful either and the album has a nice flow too. Fans of The Last Shadow Puppets should take note as it's produced/co-written by Alex Turner himself.
Pond - The Weather: Upon my first listen I thought this was their best album yet, but successive listens have made me realise their isn't as many classics as their previous two albums, and that actually a few of the songs are a bit undercooked for me. Seems to following a trend in modern psych rock too, to go all 80s synthpop on your latest album.

Don't know Alexandra Savior but have to agree with the other choices. All top albums.
