Condensing an entire year of our favorite albums in one post seemed impossible. It took a lot of time for us to go through all of the albums we listened to this year, but I’m pretty freaking happy with what we came up with. There’s no magic formula here. The following 20 albums are ones that kept playing and playing. They’re our favorites, but might not be yours, so leave your favorite album of the year on our Facebook page. Special thanks to Isabella Bersellini for her incredible artwork.
