We Are Monster is the second one, Rest is first and really good too




my list

Blank Dogs- On Two Sides
Blu and Exile- Below the Heavens
Isolee- Rest
School of Seven Bells- Alpinisms
Titus Andronicus- The Airing of Greivances






did realize until trying to compile this list that most of the artists I listen to either release mainly singles or have several albums out and their first doesn't really qualify as 'recent' anymore.
