First disappointment of 2013 is definitely the Christopher Owens album. Perhaps my hopes were too high. There are a few decent songs but most do little for me. The biggest thing it has going for it is it seems incredibly sincere.
I'm really digging Yo La Tengo's Fade, it's probably their most concise work to date so it could turn some people off, but I think it really shines. It's produced by Tortoise's John McEntire so the percussion is mostly in the forefront, giving it a heavier sound.
Unknown Mortal Orchestra's II is a wonderful lesson in lo-fi minimalism. I sort of think of it as the foil to Lonerism--where Tame Impala delivered their message with lush, almost orchestral grandeur, Unknown Mortal Orchestra reach roughly the same end through much starker means.
It's interesting, I think the context of Christopher Owens' and Jim James' first solo affairs dictates a lot of how I feel about them. MMJ is still together so I'm like, "Yeah this is really cool and different." With Girls being done, Lysandre felt so bittersweet to me. It just doesn't hit me as hard as any of their work and highlights how much his supporting cast made his music so great.

I haven't had a chance to listen to the entire album yet but while streaming "Swim and Sleep" I couldn't help but think of Tame Impala.
Ruban Nielson is a really talented guitarist. Fuzzed out, finger picked, classical riffs. It's great stuff.

Joe Pernice is one my all-time fave singer-songwriters. Very much looking forward to the Scud Mnt Boys first release since their 1996 masterpiece, Massachusetts and a new Pernice Brothers record. Also he's doing a record with Norman Blake of Teenage Fanclub. Here's them covering INXS' "This Time."
