200nine

another year off great music and here are my top gems of the year. with very brief blurb on each one. click on the album covers if you want to hear them for yourself.

Dm Stith - Heavy Ghost. the demos showed more promise but it still makes my list. Haunting songs suited to night time.

Nils Frahm - The Bells. sparse contemporary classical music for the winter

 The XX - Eponymous. the trendiest english band around but they actually have created a well crafted and produced album

Dead Man's Bones - Eponymous.  its like a children's gospel choir with arcade fire that sing about zombies

Grizzly bear - Veckatimest. essentially a weird band making a pop album that managed to challenge jay-z and beyonce in the charts.

A Sunny Day In Glasgow - Ashes Grammer. distorted harmonies and layers of sounds. my fav of the bunch!

Former Ghosts - Fleurs

 

modern day this mortal coil!

The Antlers - Hospice

  

has to be a sad album on the list

Pink Mountaintops - Outside Love.
the lady from the band has her own album under the pseudonym lighting dust also highly recommend!

Twilight Sad - Forget The Night Ahead. King Creosote, we where promised jet-packs and the phantom band made all good albums this year but this one me over on the scottish side.

Bill Callahan - Sometimes I Wish We Were an Eagle

all my thoughts are prey to some beast




Fuck Buttons - Tarot Sport says its 'experimental' but its not anything new   
 

Birdy Nam Nam - Manual for Successful Rioting. good dance music








jj - jj n° 2. good everything


       

Bombay Bicycle Club - I had the blues but I shook them loose. another good pop album and scottish to!

Gui Boratto - Take My Breath Away. dance music for spring!

                                                                Vitalic - Flashmob. discoitalia!

Black Meteoric Star - Eponymous. Jogging Music!

Oldies out this year

Love - Love Lost finally official realise of everybody's gotta to live

The Feelies - Crazy Rhythms finally got remastered

Abner Jay - crazy old forgotten blues singer
