1/ Future Islands - 'Seasons (Waiting On You) [Electro/Synth Pop]
My personal favourite, especially after the now semi-legendary performance on Letterman.
Watch: http://youtu.be/1Ee4bfu_t3c
(Original Video: http://youtu.be/-5Ae-LhMIG0 )
Heavily influenced by 80s UK synth groups (they're on 4AD Records!?) and a soulful, but theatrical vocal (A-Ha!?)
2/ The War On Drugs - 'Red Eyes' [Indie Rock]
http://youtu.be/1LmX5c7HoUw
First single from the critically acclaimed (slow-burner) album.
Galloping road anthem, reminiscent of Tom Petty - great guitar.

More to follow - other choices welcome

3/ Seaford Mods - 'Tied Up In Nottz' [Post-Punk, UK Hip-Hop]
(Warning: Pretty EXPLICIT)
http://youtu.be/CFFWF1DnZKM
Shades of John Cooper-Clarke/ Early Fall, this duo from Grantham let rip about the current dreary state of East Midlands towns.
A pleasing, confrontational (and funny) rant.

Todd Terje - Inspector Morse
Great album, reminiscent of Air, Daft Punk, Royksopp.
This video is also the funniest thing I have seen for ages and will surely appeal to any ex-rave forumites who still think they have got it in the dancefloor stakes

(Without being too pedantic....)
Glorious though it is 'Inspector Norse' (with an 'N') is from the Olympic Summer of 2012.
It does feature on this year's album ('It's Album Time') along with some of his older tunes. Nevertheless.....
7/ Todd Terje - 'DeLorean Dynamite' [Electronic, Space Disco]
http://youtu.be/f9tDuNfUi4o
2014 7-minute epic with a driving Miami-Vice bassline, along with space-age flourishes
from the severely talented Norweigan DJ/Producer.

10/ Antlers - 'Parade' [Indie Folk Rock]
http://youtu.be/7IA1Qucq20Y
Gorgeous track of this years album 'Familiars'.
Touches on those moments of joy and euphoria when everything seems right with the world.

20/ Jenny Lewis - 'Just One Of The Guys' [Indie/Country Rock]
http://youtu.be/Irvcf6dCk-k
Produced by Beck, who himself had a decent album this year.
Catchy, yet interesting, song about getting older and your biological clock ticking.
Some famous actresses on the video.

A friend of mine is in the video for Happy by Pharrell, which I think is quite something, given that at school he would have been 'kid least likely to' be on any pop related stuff.
