Monthly Top 5 Albums - May 2012

Sulk Station - Till You Appear (2012)
Patrick Watson - Adventures In Your Own Backyard (2012)
Yann Tiersen - Skyline (2011)
Beirut - The Rip Tide (2011)
Advaita - The Silent Sea (2012)
bonus: S. Carey - Hoyas EP (2012)

i must have listened to hundreds of songs during the final rundown to my exams but if i were to retain full albums, these are the ones that stuck in May. this includes the compulsive buying of The Rip Tide vinyl and hours getting accustomed to the new indie scene in India with Sulk Station and Advaita.
