Yotimi Tracks 2010
I know the Track lists aren't as popular as the Album ones but oh well. At least listen to a couple you don't know and tell me how much they suck. |
| 1 | Perfume Genius
Mr. Peterson
One of my favorite songs of all time is "Hope There's Someone" by Antony and the Johnsons. This song gives off almost the exact same (almost too intimite) vibe. One of the saddest songs I've ever heard, it tells the tale of Mike Hadreas' affair with his high school teacher - and then the teacher's ultimate suicide - through a simple but perfect piano melody and heart-wrenching vocals. Watching him perform this live is almost too uncomfortable to sit through. |
| 2 | Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti
Can't Hear My Eyes
I usually dismiss catchiness for something more artistic or complex, but I'll make an exception here. From the intro and verses' vintage sound to the amazing chorus there's not a dull moment. Add in the sax and the perfect bass compliments during the solo/interludes. Pure Genius. |
| 3 | The Tallest Man on Earth
King of Spain
I don't think I need to explain this one. |
| 4 | Lone
Ultramarine
Not very known around these parts of the interweb, but this electronic artist knows how to capture a perfect sound. A little light on the songwriting, but still this is the best electronic production I've heard all year. Listen loud with good speakers. |
| 5 | The Knife
Colouring of Pigeons
The opera stuff was pretty cool on the album. I mean I wasn't blown away like some people. But when those pounding drums led into this track, that was when I was like "oh yeah. Here's The Knife". Such a huge song. |
| 6 | The National
Conversation 16
"Bloodbuzz, OH" was my favorite almost all year. Then someone was like "Nah man, Conversation 16!" And I was like "Yeah you're right." Plus the whole eat your brains thing. |
| 7 | Future Islands
Walking Through That Door
Tom Waits goes new wave. Love the vocals. Love the Synths. Love everything about it. |
| 8 | Titus Andronicus
A More Perfect
Because it's a really good song with kick-ass guitars. "The Battle of Hampton Roads" is great too, don't get me wrong. But this track's intensity is just what I need when I'm looking for an in-your-face full throttle punk anthem. |
| 9 | Beach House
Silver Soul
Victoria Legrand's vocals are Sublime. |
| 10 | Liars
No Barrier Fun
Sisterworld kind of sounds like a How-to guide on becoming a serial killer. And this track is the sound of that killer walking through the alley at night looking for someone to strangle. |
| 11 | Emeralds
Genetic |
| 12 | Tame Impala
Alter Ego |
| 13 | Baths
Aminals |
| 14 | The Tallest Man on Earth

Such a good melody on an album filled with brilliant vocal melodies. |
| 15 | Caribou
Kaili |
| 16 | Max Richter
Infra 5 |
| 17 | Danger Mouse & Sparklehorse
Revenge (Ft. The Flaming Lips)
It's the song on the album with Wayne Coyne, that's why it's good. |
| 18 | Warpaint
Undertow
Those backing vocals are actually what stand out for me on this. |
| 19 | Sleigh Bells
Infinity Guitars
The last minute of this song destroys almost everything this year. |
| 20 | Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti
