Summer Is Boring Me -- 1/2 Way Mark.
2009, bitch. |
| 1 |  | Dirty Projectors
Bitte Orca
So, this is srsly the coolest album ever, this year. |
| 2 |  | Animal Collective
Merriweather Post Pavilion
OMGOMGOMGOMG HHHYYYPPPEE!! Fuck you, it rules. |
| 3 |  | Grizzly Bear
Veckatimest
Meticulous craftsmanship and the sheer amount of talent pays off in full. How does one follow a break-out record? By trouncing it in every way possible. Cleaner, sweeter melodies, more powerful songwriting -- every note has it's place, they don't meander as they did so much on 'Yellow House' & 'Horn Of Plenty'. Just concise, gorgeous chamber pop. |
| 4 |  | St. Vincent
Actor
Laughing with a mouth of blood from a little spill I took... |
| 5 | | Yeah Yeah Yeahs
It's Blitz!
This shit is awesome. |
| 6 |  | The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart
The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart
I dunno, iz so good. |
| 7 |  | Camera Obscura
My Maudlin Career
Finally, they create full lush music, as opposed to just blatantly (amazingly) ripping Belle & Sebastian's early twee pop. |
| 8 |  | Bat For Lashes
Two Suns
And with two suns spinning, At two different speeds. |
| 9 | | The Juan Maclean
The Future Will Come
boss electro from(most of) the folks who brought you LCD Soundsystem. |
| 10 |  | Asobi Seksu
Hush
Love so much that I can't survive. |
| 11 |  | Various Artists
Dark Was The Night
Yeah, still in heavy rotation. I usually hate comps. |
| 12 |  | Wilco
Wilco (The Album)
Camels are cool, right? |
| 13 |  | Japandroids
Post-Nothing
I like fuzz! :D |
| 14 |  | Phoenix
Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix
Our daily compromising is written in your signed armistice. |
| 15 |  | Eels
Hombre Lobo
Mmm a fresh pile of E. |
| 16 |  | Metric
Fantasies
may be their best actually. |
| 17 |  | Micachu
Jewellery
Curly Teeth |
| 18 | | Handsome Furs
Face Control
The better Wolf Parade side project release a sophomore effort that stomps their debut. That's legal tender. |
| 19 |  | Passion Pit
Manners
this is killer. |
| 20 | | White Rabbits
It's Frightening
They're on auto pilot, with Britt Daniels behind the boards. It's still pretty good, but they've lost their sense of urgency. |
| 21 |  | A Camp
Colonia
Nina ditches the Cardigans and her and Hubby try to create some grass roots, baroque pop(wtf?) and do a pretty good job. |
| 22 |  | De La Soul
Are You In?
Yes, yes I am. |
| 23 |  | Isis
Wavering Radiant
I just got this, but it's so good. |
| 24 |  | Method Man and Redman
Blackout! 2
So you've totally heard this all before, but these dudes haven't lost a step really. This album is boss. Get it. |
