Favorite Albums of 2009
There were a lot of really good releases this year and there is still a whole bunch of stuff I need to really sit down and listen to, but these are the records I have gone back to the most throughout the year.
10. Atlas Sound - Logos
Bradford Cox spends most of the record in his usual lonely bedroom-pop haze, but when he ventures outside on songs like "Walkabout" it's tremendous fun.
9. Dodos - Time To Die
I really loved Visitor the Dodos' last effort. This one is slightly weaker at times and quite a bit shorter, but a nice companion nonetheless.
8. Mi Ami - Watersports
This band is kind of reformation of an old favorite band of mine Black Eyes, a spaz(jazz)core from D.C. This has all the ruckus of Black Eyes but it tends to bliss out more often and trades in BE's chattering saxophone romps for some all out drum assaults.
7. Pissed Jeans - King Of Jeans
These guys jam so hard they make you bang your head to songs about not bothering to go out on the weekend , hearing a new noise in you car's engine, falling in love with celebrities on the silver screen, scrapbooking
6. YACHT - See Mystery Lights
A little krautrock and dance never hurt anybody.
5. Phoenix - Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix
"Lisztomania" and "1901"...nuff said.
4. Girls - Album
The first song "Lust For Life" is a clever pilfering of the Iggy Pop song of the same title flip-flopping Iggy's "wild child" party attitude into a much scarier Francois Truffaunt kind of Wild Child. The lead singer of this band grew up within the Children of God cult suffering some terrible traumas and psychological abuse. And although the album is definitely strange a messed up at times it's pretty incredible how often I find myself in a lot of the songs. And beyond the whole crazy tangle of a story behind the band, the music is downright beautiful.
3. Neon Indian - Psychic Chasms
There's been quite a bit of 90s revivalist albums (chillwave, glo-fi, whatever you wanna call it) that have resonated with me - Neon Indian, Japandroids, Washed Out for example. I don't know if it's just the underlying nostalgia of the synths that get me or the lazy summery sound, but it's just gripping.
2. Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavilion
I don't know how they keep doing it, but every new album keeps topping there last. They even came out with an EP a few weeks ago and gosh darnit it may even be more refined. These guys guys have a sound hold on the game.
1. Dirty Projectors - Bitte Orca
Go buy this record! It's the best in my opinion!
