LCD Soundsystem – This Is Happening
James Murphy’s best and hopefully not last set of original songs.

Surfer Blood – Astro Coast
A young band with a big future. Got this early in the year and still play it incessantly.
Peter Gabriel – Scratch My Back
Gabriel’s voice is in fine form and many of the songs from this set of covers transcend the originals.

Fistful Of Mercy – As I Call You Down
With Ben Harper, Joseph Arthur and Dhani Harrison making up the core of this group, can the sum total be stronger than its parts? Yes.

Band Of Horses – Infinite Arms
Inviting songs and a wonderful reminder of that set from Splendour In The Grass.

Arcade Fire – The Suburbs
It took me a lot of listens to get on board with this set of songs but now they have become close friends.

Mogwai – Special Moves
A wonderful journey through their back catalogue. This is how all live albums should be and it’s even louder with your eyes closed.

The Posies – Blood/Candy
Really for fans only and wildly inconsistent but its grand moments are grand indeed.
Honourable mentions:
The National – High Violet
Beach House – Teen Dream
Sufjan Stevens - The Age of Adz
Gorillaz - Plastic Beach

Read more >> Jack White – Blunderbuss With a work ethic and musical output rivalled by few if any, Jack White sets aside all of those numerous other projects to create a set of songs under his own name. Read more >> The Decemberists - We All Raise Our Voices to the Air (Live Songs 04.11-08.11) Facing more obstacles than most in translating their studio confectionary into a meaty live sound, The Decemberists have attempted just such a thing with We All Raise Our Voices to the Air. Read more >> White Rabbits – Milk Famous Using their sophomore album, It's Frightening as a template, White Rabbits take a stab at progression. Read more >> Van Halen – A Different Kind of Truth Do some popular music statements come out of a time warp or do they create their own? Read more >> Slivovitz – Bani Ahead When you have superlative players’ on board, things can easily digress into instrumental insurrection, on Bani Ahead, Slivovitz side step this problem by being almost completely consumed by the groove. Read more >> Big Deal – Lights Out All band notoriety aside, is there any subject matter that creates more column inches than love? Read more >> My Best Fiend – In Ghostlike Fading Like the Werner Herzog film the band is named after, My Best Fiend delivers an album deep in duality. Read more >> |
