I'm starting this thread without knowing anything good for 2013 but I'm gonna go ahead and make recommendations of 2012 albums to start it off.
None of that "smilin' laidback hat dude banjo suspenders tory" music allowed! (Unless they're really good I guess)
Some stuff I really like last year:
Those Poor Bastards - Behold The Abysshttp://open.spotify.com/album/68jpqHTUVppyxsUlmaqfcb
Andrew Bird - Break It Yourselfhttp://open.spotify.com/album/53lx7eVMQOx7jtXRYxMrUI
Lambchop - Mr. Mhttp://open.spotify.com/album/5jIMNS1NP5sFkagCXvFiak

Mentioned on the dark country thread, but Copenhagen's Marie Fisker is doing this as well as any native. The awfully titled So, Hoes, and Heroes was among my favorites of 2012.
