1. Middle Cyclone - Neko Case
Best Track: "This Tornado Love You"

It's somewhat surprising that Neko Case took so long to make a loosely organized concept album about the wonderful and terrible power of nature. After all, no one else in her typically restrained alt-country milieu sings with the gale-force intensity that Case can't help but summon. Here, on the sometime New Pornographer's sixth solo effort, she describes herself variously as an animal, a tornado, and a man-eater, but she's not all danger and threat. Behind the heat, there's real soul. [taken from Spin.com]


2. The Crying Light - Antony and the Johnsons
Best Track: "Aeon"


3. Two Suns - Bat for Lashes
Best Track: "Daniel"

Few mortals could duet with avant-pop icon Scott Walker and match his operatic emotionalism, quaver for quaver. But London-born Natasha Khan (a.k.a. Bat for Lashes) does just that on "The Big Sleep," Two Suns' closing track -- and it's riveting. So is the rest of her second album, as warm atmospherics combine with ambling beats and a devastatingly sensual voice that just washes you away. Consider her a slow-burn siren for our overheated times. [taken from Spin.com]

4. Merriweather Post Pavilion - Animal Collective
Best Track: "Summertime Clothes" / "My Girls"


5. Veckatimest - Grizzly Bear
Best Track: "Two Weeks"

Transposing Brian Wilson's heart-of-darkness take on California dreamin' to Brooklyn's grittier environs, Grizzly Bear's third full-length is a coldly beautiful gem. Singer-guitarist Ed Droste and crew render every sonic detail in the deepest earth tones of gothic prog-folk Americana, seamlessly meshing hooks, harmonies, and delicately ambient orchestration. Veckatimest plays as one long suite, like an evocative soundtrack to a monochromatic documentary about a serial killer who walks among us, smiling. [taken from Spin.com]


6. xx - The xx
Best Track: "Crystalized"

Not a note or nuanced detail is wasted in this minimalist-pop classic, a must-listen on headphones, preferably with all the lights turned off at 3 a.m. Spidery guitars, a drum machine and a spritz of keyboards frame the sensual, coolly understated vocal interplay of Romy Madley Croft and Oliver Sim. [taken from The Chicago Tribune]

7. The Pains of Being Pure at Heart - The Pains of Being Pure at Heart
Best Track: "Young Adult Friction"

The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart takes all the signifiers of twee-pop—treble fuzz, vocal harmonies, worrying about girls—and transmutes them into something much more substantial and approachable. When singer-guitarist Kip Berman commits to a solo, he tears it up. When his heart finds a match, he titles a song “This Love Is Fucking Right!” And when he and his bandmates record an album, they pack it full of bombast and verve. [taken from A.V. Club]

8. Lungs - Florence and The Machine
Best Track: "Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up)"

Plucky ingénues come and go: some with heavenly voices, some with natural magnetism and stage presence, some with a cache of catchy hooks. But all those elements in one package? That's why Florence Welch feels like such a jackpot. Much of her debut has a decidedly slick veneer, making '80s New Romanticism feel like a fresh clarion call; meanwhile, the inimitable come-on "Kiss With a Fist" hits with the primal immediacy of its title's promise. [taken from Spin.com]

9. Fever Ray - Fever Ray
Best Track: "When I Grow Up"

Not only did the new solo project by Karin Dreijer Andersson prove to be a complete departure from the Knife’s past work, but compared to the more insistent, accessible sounds of Deep Cuts and Silent Shout Fever Ray was darker, enigmatic, subtle, and in the end, just plain better. With each minimal track stripped right down to its core, the arrangements subtly channeling the early ‘80s tones of the Cure and Kate Bush as well as modern dark ambient music, Dreijer Andersson puts her vocals at the forefront. The songs are often filtered and pitchshifted to the point where the album feels schizophrenic, from the innocent “When I Grow Up”, to the aching desolation of “Keep the Streets Empty for Me”, to the unsettling combination of dread and unadulterated lust on “If I Had a Heart”. Alternately chilly and warm, wistful and foreboding, expansive and claustrophobic, Fever Ray‘s peculiarity and bleak magnificence holds us in its thrall. [taken from PopMatters.com]

10. It's Blitz - Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Best Track: "Zero"

Maybe the beloved-guitar-band-ditches-the-guitar hype was oversold, or the shift to spazzy dance rock from spazzy garage rock was simply in keeping with the band's restless character. But It's Blitz! did what a third album should: push a successful formula in a thrillingly risky direction. "Heads Will Roll" and "Zero" were ready for the floor, but "Skeleton" and "Hysteric" had enough "Maps" in their DNA to remind us that Karen O and the kids are all heart. [taken from Spin.com]

5. Karen O and the Kids - Where the Wild Things Are Motion Picture Soundtrack: Original Songs By Karen O And The Kids

actually it's only december 15th, but i'm pretty sure there aren't any notable releases coming up in the next few weeks, so i'll just put this shit out now.


Ten: Dirty Projectors - Bitte Orca

While my love this album has waned, I still can recognize how great of an achievement it is, and in the day that I loved it, it was mad love. Cannibal Resource is a perfect summery song.

Nine:The Twilight Sad - Forget The Night Ahead

Maybe you're the sort of person who laughs at accents in songs. If you are, avoid this. An excellent sophomore effort by this band out of Glasgow.

Eight: toe - FOR LONG TOMORROW

Wow! WHAT A FANTASTIC ALBUM THAT MAKES ME CALM ON BAD DAYS. The drumming on this is fantastic, as is the finger picked guitar. really nice! first album i've ever heard by toe.


Seven:Grizzly Bear - Veckatimest

Absolutely brilliant album and very consistent all the way through. isn't as good as yellow house, but i don't think many expected it to be. oh and Southern Point is a fantastic album opener.

Six:Wilco - Wilco (The Album)

After the sort of disappointment that was Sky Blue Sky (except for the fact that Walken, Hate It Here, and Impossible Germany are all fantastic songs), Wilco has come back with a great album that takes a bit of every previous Wilco album and slaps it into a great ALBUM WITH A CAMEL ON THE ALBUM COVER. HOLY FUCK, THAT IS PROBABLY THE ALBUM COVER OF THE YEAR.

It's no Yankee Hotel Foxtrot or Summerteeth , but dammit I'll take it. And anyone who say's that You And I isn't the sweetest or most adorable they've ever heard, is a liar.

FIVE. WE'RE HALF WAY DONE: Morrissey - Years of Refusal

Oh Moz, where do we begin. I guess the first thing to say is that this is filled with a ton of cock rock guitar, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Does it pale in comparison to early Morrissey albums? YES.

Is it not as good as You Are The Quarry? YES.

However, it's still really damn good, and filled with self depreciation and disgust for our modern world.

Four: The Thermals - Now We Can See

Pop-punk, and actually really good. I Called Out Your Name is the best song easily. Easy to throw on whenever and just listen to. Not quite as punk-y as The Body, The Blood, The Machine

Three: Caspian - Tertia

Fantastic Post-Rock. I hope these guys get a ton of recognition on some end of the year lists.

Two: The Decemberists - The Hazards of Love

Oh cool what a surprise, Jon has the latest D's album as one of his top 5 of the year. JUSTIFY IT PLEASE?

Alright. Basically, if you look at previous Decemberists albums, it was pretty apparent they had to put out a full fledged rock-opera. It could've gone either way really, and in the end it was pretty shocking to see Colin and co., not fuck this one up. It somehow blends folk and metal together into a nifty hour long package. Oh, also having a few fantastic guest vocalists doesn't hurt much. It was incredible to see the band perform the album in its entirety.

NUMBER ONE OF THE YEAR OMG: The Antlers - Hospice

The first time I ever listened to The Antlers was on a mix tape somebody had made for me. The song Kettering was featured on it, and I was immediately intrigued because of it's gloominess. I was then linked to their album Hospice and holy fuck it blew me away

and it still does every time I listen. I'm not sure if in 50 years it'll be regarded as a classic album, but it damn well deserves it.

The 10 best songs of the year, however:


10: The Decemberists - The Wanting Comes In Waves/Repaid

9: Grizzly Bear - Fine for Now

8: Caspian - Sycamore

7: Wilco - Bull Black Nova

6: Tortoise - High Class Slim Came Floatin' In

5: Animal Collective - Brother Sport

4: Morrissey - Something Is Squeezing My Skull

3:The Antlers - Epilogue

2:Dirty Projectors - Cannibal Resource

1: The Twilight Sad - I Became A Prostitute

Conclusion: Merriweather Post Pavillion wasn't as good as I thought initially.

TOP TEN ALBUMS OF 2009
as reviewed by Pete Bogenschutz


Ah, the end of a decade... It seems as if many musical artists wait to release their magnum opus during the last year of a decade. The most recent example is The Soft Bulletin in 1999, which became my favorite album of the 90’s. Will my number one from this year become my number one of the decade? Well, it’s too early to tell who gets that crown, as passage of time best determines how an album holds up (despite what Pitchfork might think). I’ll try to refrain from saying the typical cliches I usually do in these intros... Such as “it’s hard to pick just ten albums”, or “it was the best year ever”, and what not. But it’s hard not to say these things, especially this year when several bands did in fact seemingly release their “magnum opus”.


10) Travels With Myself and Another - Future of the Left

I can’t help to listen to Travels With Myself and Another and NOT think it’s the Doolittle of our generation. Of course, minus the female vocal interplay. But the rest of the elements are there, a tightly constructed rock-your-brains out disc chock full of witty-yet-smart lyrics. Not only that, but it’s similarly structured to Doolittle; the first half of the album instantly pulls you in with it’s anthems and hooks while the second half, equally as good, is somewhat of a grower. Each one of these songs is like a mini-epic in it’s own right and selecting individual highlights is difficult because of the high stature of this album. “Arming Eritrea”, the massive opener, however, probably will be remembered as Future of the Left’s crowning achievement. Hell, even the song titles are humorous and entertaining (“You Need Satan More Than He Needs You” and “Stand By Your Manatee”, for example). The Pixies have been talking about reuniting and releasing another anticipated album for quite sometime. Even if we never get that, at least we have something as good as Travels With Myself and Another to tide us over.

9) Popular Songs - Yo La Tengo

Taking full risk of sounding cheesy, Yo La Tengo have always had a special place in my heart. Their music is equal parts noisy/experimental and heartfelt. It’s the later point that really draws me in and makes their albums some of the most reminiscently warm music I own. I simply cannot listen to 2006’s I am Not Afraid of You and not be vividly reminded of my life and feelings three years ago when I was compulsively listening to that disc. You could say their albums are like your very own personal time capsules. Popular Songs is no different, an album packed full of irresistibly effecting moments. “Avalon Or Someone Similar”, “I’m on My Way”, and “All My Secrets” do more than just tug at my heartstrings and feel wholeheartedly nostalgic. On the other hand, the more playful moments of the album are pulled off just as effortlessly. “Nothing to Hide” and “If It’s True” are vintage feel-good Yo La Tengo, with some added tricks in the bag. Say what you will about the lengthy trio of songs that conclude the album, as they are equally spectacular (for those that have the patients to explore them), especially “The Fireside”. Yo La Tengo continues to prove they are the perfect band to grow old with.

8) The Blood - Reykjavik!

Admittedly, I really didn’t know what I was getting myself into with this one. Advertised under the category of “Icelandic Pop” in a certain online music store, I was expecting light and airy pop akin to Sigur Ros. The snowcapped mountains on the cover didn’t do anything to deter this notion either (okay, perhaps the graves should have tipped me off). Needless to say, the first listen for me was somewhat of a shock. Reykjavik! makes unnerving, uncompromising, and LOUD indie rock that can only be described as a cross between death metal and dance pop. From the intense build that opens the first track, to the knock your socks off finale, the album is solid and non-stop. Not a second wasted and not one chance to catch you breath. Especially excellent is the ironically named “Kate Bush”, the Modest Mouse-ian (before they sold out) “Aeji Plis”, and the accessible “Campo Veijo 2004”. The entire album, however, is a spiraling achievement that warps your senses. Although it may be a bit too much for some, The Blood is well worth seeking out for those looking for dash of grit and originality in their indie rock.

7) Tarot Sport - Fuck Buttons

Instrumental rock and I have a pretty rocky relationship. As musically diverse as I’d like to think I am, this is one genre that has yet to do much for me (yes, I’m shallow, I need lyrics!). Until, of course, stumbling across this massive gem of an album. Now you could say that I’m on sort of a honeymoon with instrumental rock; experiencing probably the best there is, but I’m sure once I try other bands from this genre I’m sure to be disappointed. However, labeling work of art such as this with a simple title of “instrumental rock” probably makes several Fuck Buttons fans cringe. There are many songs on here which border on the “life-changing” label. “Surf Solar” and “Olympians”, for example, are so delicious they are like sex for the ears. In fact, probably the best musical moment of the year for me is the final minutes of “Olympians” and those breathtaking handclaps. Talk about chills-central! Immense in scope, mind-blowing in execution, and accessible as hell; Tarot Sport is not only is one of the best discs of such a fruitful year but it raises the bar for anything that succeeds it. Natalie Portman’s life would be changed.

6) Dragonslayer - Sunset Rubdown

Dragonslayer, Sunset Rubdown’s third full-length album, is downright shocking. Not because of it’s defiant experimentation or it’s epic sprawl. But because it’s simply accessible and immensely enjoyable (yes, this is a Sunset Rubdown album). Two years ago I got really excited when Random Spirit Lover was released, thinking it was the epitome of modern indie art rock. Truth to tell, that album didn’t age quite so well (more specifically, it’s laborious as hell to listen to). Dragaonslayer, I can say with confidence, will not suffer from that problem. It keeps all the elements that made Random Spirit Lover such an intriguing listen yet brings it to another level. This feels like such an emotionally charged album, unlike the obtuse and overtly abstract Random Spirit Lover. “Silver Moons” and “You Go on Ahead” manage to evoke palatable feelings while “Apollo and the Buffalo” is so freakin‘ catchy you might not be able to stop bobbing your head (again, YES, this is a Sunset Rubdown album). But if you crave the epic-ness of this band, then look no further to marvelous finale to this album: “Dragon’s Lair”. Like the title of the disc suggest, this is one MONSTER of an album.

5) Bitte Orca - Dirty Projectors

The Dirty Projectors’ back catalogue is wonderfully weird and adventurous. However, nothing in that peculiar jungle is nearly as fun and wonderous to listen to as Bitte Orca, one of the most addicting listens this year. If you need any convincing, just listen to the incredible three-peat of songs mid-album; the near R&B stylings of “Stillness is the Move”, the wonderfully executed ballad “Two Doves”, and the epic “Useful Chamber”. This trio of songs is so densely glorious that it would be easy for the rest of album to pale in comparison. However, Dirty Projectors have bookended these tracks masterfully. The opener “Cannibal Resources” is notable for it’s witty lyrics and subtly catchy melody while “Remade Horizon” nearly serves as two songs in one with it’s schizophrenic tempo changes. The male/female vocal interplay helps to keep this forty minute album feeling more like it’s twenty minutes (a great compliment indeed). Also worth noting is the intriguing album artwork, which is probably the best of the year and serves as a great tribute to the high point of this band’s career.

4) The Eternal - Sonic Youth

Sonic Youth have been in an undeniable groove lately. This decade has ushered in some of their most accessible and critically acclaimed music following their (in my opinion) decade long slump since the landmark Daydream Nation. Not only did they keep their streak alive, but The Eternal is Sonic Youth’s best album this decade! A grower for sure, this disk rocks hard; “Sacred Trickster” and “What We Know” are downright swaggering and do more than harken back to the band’s heyday. Even more impressive is Kim Gordon’s insanely exceptional contribution to this album. The aforementioned “Sacred Trickster”, “Calming of the Snake”, “Malibu Gas Station”, and the epic closer “Massage the History” are all probably some of her best contributions to the band’s prolific catalogue. I really thought Sonic Youth would lay an egg with this album, given their tendency to put out great albums in groups of three. Yet The Eternal breaks that bad luck streak and keeps us diehard fans excited to see what else this legendary band has up their sleeves.

3) Actor - St. Vincent

To be honest, I really didn’t think Annie Clark could trump her magical debut effort Marry Me. This probably explains why I hated Actor the entire first month I owned it, but once the expectations diminished and I started to listen to this record without any preconceived notions.... Well, HOLY SHIT! Not only is this album better than Marry Me but it is also a strong contender for best album by a female solo artist for this entire decade. While Actor may not have as many individual standouts as Marry Me, it holds together as one artistic body of work beautifully. The important thing to mention is that this album is an incredible grower and one that is insanely addicting once it gets a hold of you. Jam packed with more than just a dozen memorable moments (the guitar swells from “The Strangers”, the delicately sweet melody on “The Neighbors”, “Black Rainbows” Walt Disney-esq coda, or the deceptively sweet sing-a-long stylings from “Laughing With a Mouthful of Blood”), Actor is a masterpiece that should be remembered generations from now as a defining moment in indie rock. The album is so good that I completely forgive Clark for her contributions to the Twilight soundtrack. If Actor isn’t top ten material for the decade, well, it’s hard to say what is.

2) Merriweather Post Pavilion - Animal Collective

Hype can be a bitch. Released in January, this record garnered so much acclaim it could make one sick of this disc before even hearing it. Critics were already tossing around phrases such as “album of the year” or even “album of the decade”. However, after a listen it was evident that neither of those statements were tossed around frivolously. Merriweather Post Pavilion sees Animal Collective at the top of their already excellent form with an album more sonically airtight than anyone could have imagined. The album’s first half is instantly accessible; opening with the spiraling ambient pop of “In the Flowers” and the irresistible “My Girls” (the feel good song of the year). The second half of the album is more low key, but no less dense and rewarding. “Bluish” is probably Animal Collective’s best ballad, dethroning the amazing “Banshee Beat” from Feels for this title, while the closer “Brother Sport” hits the album out of the park. Merriweather Post Pavilion is an immensely satisfying and dizzying album that pays out rewards ten-fold because of its endless replay value. Throughout most of 2009, I just couldn’t imagine placing this album anything lower than my number one pick of the year. But, as you can see, it fell somewhat short from taking top marks. Read on my friend...

1) Embryonic - The Flaming Lips

Ladies and gentlemen, here we have it: The surprise of the decade. Just when I was ready to give up on the band that shoved me down that slippery slope to indie elitism some eight or nine years ago, they go and turn out possibly the best album of their career (whoa, did I just say that?). I love the Lips‘ catalogue from the 90’s, it’s some of the most refreshingly creative and mind-fucking-jarring music I know. Hell, their 1999 magnum opus The Soft Bulletin is my favorite album from the 90’s. But truth to tell, I lost a lot of interest with the Lips lately (well, the past nine years of their music to be exact). Sure, the much lauded Yoshimi gave the Lips a wider audience... But really, Yoshimi bored me to tears. Then there was At War With the Mystics which was an unfocused conglomeration of decent (just decent) songs. It was to the point that I wasn’t even looking forward to the release of Embryonic. Was I ever glad I was wrong!
The music on this disc is perfectly mirrored by the bizarre album artwork; it doesn’t really make sense, it’s somewhat unsettling, but at the same time you can’t stop listening to it. This music feels like it’s erupting suddenly from a dense wormhole and just like Merriweather Post Pavilion, the album is so brilliantly cohesive it’s as if each track is delicately cut from the same pristine homogeneous cloth. But with that said, this album never feels stale and the long 70 minute running time feels like it goes by in a breeze. Absent from this album are any “Do You Realize” moments that made this band so huge. The closest track, “She Can Be a Frog”, will even likely detract the fair-weather fans looking for another life-affirming moment. What this album does contain is genuine Flaming Lips tracks, as it finally finds the band being true to themselves for the first time in ten years.
Patients rewards those who are willing to put the effort into this album. While it may not seem like it at first, there are hooks abound in this disc. Take for instance the opening one-two-punch of “Convinced of the Hex” or “The Sparrow Looks Up”, which are some of the very best straight out rock songs of the year. The Lips even turn out a couple of the best ballad’s of their career here; “Evil”, “Powerless”, and the somewhat experimental “The Impulse” are all weirdly beautiful and effecting on this decidedly dark album. Even the more far-out moments of Embryonic work wonders, such as the mathematically heavy “Gemini Syringes” and the multiple instrumental interludes throughout. Best of all, however, is the cataclysmic finale of “Watching the Planets” which ends this defining album on a jaw dropping note.
As already stated in the foreword of this list, their 1999 masterpiece The Soft Bulletin is my hands down favorite album from that decade. To think that another Flaming Lips album could end this decade with top marks... Well, if you had told me that a few months ago I would have laughed in your face.

Indie-rock dominated my MP3 player this year (Animal Collective, Phoenix, xx, The Horrors). "Fame Monster" Lady GaGa's catchy, Madonna-inspired pop beats made a suprisingly #1 fan out of me. Festivals like Coachella, Lollapalooza and Bonnaroo brought forward some of my all-time childhood favorite bands to rock my world from the likes of Echo & The Bunnymen, Jane's Addiction, My Bloody Valentine, and Depeche Mode. And, thankfully, next year is shaping up to be just as equally exciting with new music from indie-rock(and dance) titans Yeasayer, Hot Chip, Spoon, MGMT, Battles, These New Puritans, LCD Soundsystem and the Klaxons (need i say more?). But, for now, I'd like to highlight some of the best albums to date. Every track on this list is an essential must have for any DJ or fan of good music.
