Favorite Albums of 2010
In no particular order:
Mice Parade What It Means To Be Left-Handed
Like if Múm were born and bred in New York City instead of Iceland.
James Blake The Bells Sketch EP / CMYK EP / Klavierwerke EP
Exorcizing the ghosts in Burial’s urban elegies.
Beach House Teen Dream
Victoria Legrand. (lol)
Joanna Newsom Have One On Me
Less nine-minute opuses, more real songs—without the trimmings.
Oneohtrix Point Never Returnal
Space cadet music for scything through interstellar space.
Flying Lotus Cosmogramma
In this case, flying too close to the sun paid off.
Deerhunter Halcyon Digest
Good pop songs that live up to all that hype.
High Places High Places Vs. Mankind
Neopagan chants for technological gods and ghosts.
Autechre Oversteps
ZZZQRQKJJRKAAK!!
Wild Nothing Gemini
I like this for the same reason I like The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart.
