Updated!
I also added the new Sigur Ros and Niki & the Dove to my list. Anyone interested in a beautifully smart dance pop album should definitely look into Niki & the Dove! It's like "All Hour Cymbals" era Yeasayer with elements of Fever Ray sprinkled in. I'm totally in love with it.

Damn, that's a pretty serious recommendation. I'll have to check that out.

I'm sure at least someone will say I was way off with my comparison, but that's just what I hear when I listen to it. I suppose Bat for Lashes might be another good comparison.
Here's another track off the album:

Yeah thought I was going to hate it. But 10 or so listens in, I have to add Jack White - Blunderbuss. It's not a prefect album, but I love 85% of it, and that's good enough for me.

Literally all I have so far, although it'll expand soon enough: 1. The Fifty Year Storm The The New Law 2. Strange Land Yellow Ostrich 3. Reign of Terror Sleigh Bells Still to come: Japandroids, Passion Pit, Dan Deacon, Jack White, whatever I find at Sasquatch End of the month update: 1. King Con Alex Winston 2. The Fifty Year Storm The The New Law 3. Strange Land Yellow Ostrich 4. Blunderbuss Jack White 5. Reign of Terror Sleigh Bells Will get on the Japandroids leak soon enough, maybe. Same albums as above apply plus Avalanches ( ?) and Santigold. I saw Passion Pit a few weeks ago and they played some new stuff, it has potential.

I love that album from The New Law as well. They are looking to tour this summer along the west coast and I am pretty sure they are coming to Bellingham in September. I really want to see what their live show is like

I seriously hope some of you guys look into that Niki & the Dove album. I've listened to it probably 20 times and think it might be my favorite of the year so far. It's just such a fun, beautiful, and intelligently crafted dance-pop album. DO IT!

This is the best thread on the boards. Although I'm not finished catching up. That's a preliminary guess.

I'm really happy that this thread ended up taking off. Aside from being a great place to recommend new albums, we won't find ourselves scrambling to find our favorites of 2012 come December.

Probably time I update mine a bit, this is undoubtedly missing stuff:
Mt Eerie - Clear Moon Japandroids - Celebration Rock Lotus Plaza - Spooky Action at a Distance Willis Earl Beal - Acousmatic Sorcery Spiritualized - Sweet Heart Sweet Light Chromatics - Kill For Love Lil B - God's Father Horse Feathers - Cynic's New Year
and I'm gonna give that Niki and the Dove album Pea likes so much a spin later tonight.

Sweet! I'll check it out tonight.
UPDATE: Not too bad. Sounds a lot like Wye Oak. It definitely has some nice elements, but I'm not sure if it's really fully clicking upon first listen. I'll give it a few spins!
