Belle & Sebastian--Girls in Peacetime Want to Dance
Chastity Belt--Time to Go Home
Dick Diver--Melbourne, Florida
DRINKS--Hermits on Holiday
Echo Lake--Era
Expert Alterations--You Can't Always Be Liked
EZTV--Calling Out
Father John Misty--I Love You, Honeybear
The Fireworks--Switch Me On
Floating Points--Elaenia
Richard Hawley--Hollow Meadows
H. Hawkline--In the Pink Condition
Huntsville--Pond
Joanna Gruesome--Peanut Butter
The Mantles--All Odds End

Some heavy hitters this year (for me) that didn't make the grade, though aren't bad albums: Robert Forster, Yo La Tengo, Beach House, The Chills

Here's a playlist of some 2015 reissues

We have a lot of overlap. I'm gonna have to check out some of those records that I haven't heard yet.
Very cool list.

If you haven't heard them yet I think the Mantles and EZTV would be up your alley.

Checking out The Mantles right now. Thanks!

EDIT:
Just from the get-go it sounds a lot like The Clean. A very good thing! Are these guys a Kiwi band?

I really dug The Mantles! Thanks!

And now, EZTV. Sounds good so far.

Mantles are from Oakland or SF. Definitely influenced by Flying Nun bands!

The Floating Points album is cool, but it gets a little too Four Tet-ish for me at the end.

I liked the last No Joy album a whole lot, but so far this one hasn't left much of an impression.
