Best Alternative Country Album Not Trying Too Hard to Sound Like Alternative Country

goes to Phorsphorescent for the album Muchacho.

Best Album from a Band I Discovered on Some Delighted People

goes to Lucius for the album Wildewoman.

This band is incredibly infectious. Someone posted a their NPR Tiny Desk Concert a couple months ago and I fell in love. They lived up to their first EP by releasing a totally awesome, poppy full length album. Check out the title track below.
