5. The Lost Patrol – Driven (self-released)

Their first release since 2011’s Rocket Surgery and their fourth overall since Mollie Israel joined in 2008 is their best album yet. Not only that, but between this and their recent appearance on Rabid Sessions at Pancake Factory Studios, they are on a roll and making the best music of their career. This is remarkable for a band on their 11th (!) album. If you don’t know them and a mix of shoegaze and spaghetti-western styles (sometimes sounding like early ’90s Wipers or what Giant Sand would’ve sounded like with distortion pedals) with a great female singer sounds good to you, you can listen and buy it here.
