We start though, with the ten runners-up, listed from 14 to 23: Duper Sessions — Sondre Lerche & the Faces Down, Rabbit Fur Coat — Jenny Lewis with the Watson Twins, How We Operate — Gomez, At War With the Mystics — The Flaming Lips, The Garden — Zero 7, Everything All the Time — Band of Horses, We the Vehicles — Maritime, Time Without Consequence — Alexi Murdoch, Half the Time — Pablo, Putting the Days to Bed — The Long Winters
