I've listened to The XX's new album "Coexist" ~10 times front to back already and it's getting me back in the album-view mentality. What's a good (recent) EP that's solid from the first song to the last?
Purity Ring - Shrines
Meant *LP*
Beach House's Teen Dreams
The new Fiona Apple is off the hook, not surprisingly. allmusic.com
Also really love the Alabama Shakes debut. allmusic.com
Alright- I've got two.
First is Lana Del Rey's Born to Die

Started out as a guilty pleasure but now it's just a pleasure.
If you're "too cool" for that, there's Beat Connection's new album The Palace Garden
youtube.com
Very very solid album- I've been listening to it on repeat for the past few days.
Josh Miller added Alley Lyles.
I can vouch for Beat Connection
Geoff Stearns added Ellen Grafton.
Kishi Bashi's 151A is my current "put it on repeat" album.
Josh Miller added Jason L Bauman.
Dessa-Castor the Twin (She's a rapper, but this is not a rap album) youtu.be
She's part of a collective called Doomtree. Their stuff is all really good, but this album stands out for me.
