One of the songs that I have played the most this past year has been the alluring Change of Heart by Sweden's own El Perro del Mar. Her 2009 release Love is Not Pop deserves more listeners. Also, you need to hear this recent Rakamonie remix crafted by Robyn, breathing new electronic life into an already perfect pop record.
Jack Tatum made this wonderful dream pop version of the Kate Bush masterpiece under his shoegazing moniker Wild Nothing. I would not dare to suggest that it trumps the original, but as far as covers go, this is excellent.
Beach House made the world a better place a few weeks ago, when they blessed longing fans with a free copy of the first single from Teen Dream. The album will be out in January. I would recommend getting the WAV.

Miike Snow continues to commission videos and remixes for their self-titled debut. Vince Haycock directed the video for Black & Blue, and my pick from the lot of remixes is this one by dubstep ambassador Caspa.
Kid Cudi made a great album. This track was produced by Ratatat and features vocals from MGMT. Watch their performance on Letterman. I think it's the next single. Man on the Moon: The End of Day is in stores.
