1. St. Vincent – "Big Time Nothing". Annie Clark brilliantly channels the sound and swagger of Fashion-era Bowie and (duh) Big Time-era Peter Gabriel.

2. DIIV – "Frog in Boiling Water". More woozy, whammy-bar dreaminess from the album of the same name by Brooklyn's DIIV. Strong followup to week 13 top 5 pick "Everyone Out".

3. Amadou & Mariam – "Mogolu". Mali's first couple of music is back with a new tune that's got their familiar swing.

4. Bat for Lashes – "Home". Slowburner whose tenderness is given a dimension of heartache and longing by distortion on the bass and vocals.

5. The Decemberists – Much of the mythohistorical weirdness of the band's early output has fallen away, leaving just their unique sense of arrangement and Meloy's distinctive phrasing to adorn this lovely song.
