I don't get the Lankum thing. I'm not a fan of the Sean-nós.

From that list, I'd go with The Murder Capital album, which is pretty good. They were excellent in CA a couple of months back.

Tra Pháidín - An 242, Girlfriend - To Be Quiet and Elaine Malone - Pyrrhic, would be my favorite Irish albums from last year
