I wrote and prepared this the same time as I did my Christmas Mix, but thought I would save it for a Christmas present to you all.
Although I have focused primarily on indie this year, that is not the total of my taste as this list should show. As with the Christmas Mix, each song is linked to the relevant album or single for purchase. The songs aren’t in any particular order of favouritism (in fact I think Hot Chip was my band of the year), just in an order that I think play well as a mix.

01. The Spinto Band – Oh Mandy [Buy]
02. GoodBooks – Walk With Me [Website]
03. Princeton – The Indifference Cult [Buy]
