SMD has to dream in sound. This sounds like a dream to me.
37. Tennis – Origins
I don’t know what it is about her voice. I guess if I was a teen in the doo wop era I dig her.

Even though he continues to piss of all the other EDM artist. Guy still has great music!

Another great one from Four Tet. This album is still on constant play for me
29. Thee Oh Sees – Lupine Dominus
That good old punk rock never dies. Thee Oh Sees will make sure of it.
28. Purity Ring – Obedear
I first saw this guys live in a small art studio two years ago. Glad they have a full album out and great stuff on it. This is my fav by far
27. Wild Nothing – This Chain Won’t Break
Saw these guys live and they killed it. If you not familiar with them check this song out

Another dream pop master here. Teen Daze is only getting better and better
24. Sky Ferreira – Everything is Embarrassing
You know I just can’t ignore her anymore.. Great song

20. The Shins – Simple Song
These guys still have it and with such a good pop song this deliverers on all bases.
19. Daphni – Yes I know
Ever wonder what Caribou would sound on the dance floor? Well here you go this is some awesome stuff..
18. Rhye – The Fall
This brand new artist is sure to make some waves in 2013. Keep an eye on this one guys.
17. Hot Chip - Flutes
Hot Chip can do no wrong in my eyes. Flutes is such a great song.
16. Beach House - Myth
Even though this album was not as good as their pervious they still served up some great songs. With Myth its typical Beach House at its finest
15. Bat For Lashes – Laura
There is something about Natasha Khan when she sings. So haunting yet brings you in. With Laura I was immediately hooked and felt the emotions the song brings.
14. M.I.A – Bad Girls
Can’t go wrong with our bad girl M.I.A. Also helps that the video to this song is so awesome. I wanna ride cars like she does in the video.
13. Scissor Sissters – Let’s Have a Kiki
Now come on, How many times have you heard this song? I lost count of how many times I’ve seen queens break out into the dance and in the process of knocking my drink out of my hand. As annoying as it was it had everyone dancing and txting your friends “Let’s have a KiKi” I guess this is what happens when you’r on Glee. Goyte ruined it for everyone.
12. Crystal Castles – Affection
Just as weird as these two, this song has to be the best off their third self-titled album.
11. Röyksopp (Ft Susanne Sundfø)- Running to the Sea
I almost did not include this in the list and ranking it so high, since it was just released about two weeks ago. Have a listen and I dare you try to tell me it’s a bad song. I am glad to have these guys back and this was a great start.
10. Xiu Xiu – Hi
You just have to love a guy who is really into his work. Xiu Xiu may not be a sound for everyone but he still manages to produce some great stuff.
9. Lindstrom – Vos –Sako-Rv
Another dance track here to make your head bop. Turn this baby up on blast and get ready to bust those awesome moves.
8. First Aid Kit – Wolf
With a year full of indie folk bands, these two sisters managed to create some very awesome tunes. With the haunting lyrics and voices it makes one good combo for the two.
7. The Men – Open Your Heart
Who said indie rock was gone? The Men came out of nowhere and to my surprise I really dug them. This song is only one of the awesome songs on this album.
6. Dragonette – Let it Go
All I gotta say is Coachella! She killed it live and what a fun band and fun song. I know I won’t stop listening to this song over and over.
5. Grimes – Genesis
Even though I have a love/hate relationship with Grimes, She still has some great songs and the album is good as well. This was the top track for me.
4. Little Boots – Headphones
Come on how many of us would do this? When that bad song comes on and you just wanna dance to your own beat. Great pop song
3. Chromatics – Kill For Love
Dream Pop is all I need to say about them. With a year in where so many acts came out with this style of music. Chromatics lead the bunch in my mind
2. Todd Terje – Inspector Norse
Now this makes me wanna DANCE!! Bringing Italian Disco back in its finest form. Todd has scored yet one more song for the dance floor and for those rainy dancing in the house days. It will get stuck in your head believe me! Doot doot doot doo doo
1. Perfume Genius – Hood
Even though this clocks in at 2 minutes, going to have to say it’s a dam good 2 minutes. So haunting but yet manages to keep you listening. This was his year for me. Great song. The Video for this song is just as great!
