It’s that time of the year again: Cold winter days, Christmas lights and… year end lists. I’ve closed my musical book for the year, anything that’s released from now on won’t make it on my best of list on such a short notice anyway. So it’s time to round it up and make up the score. I think it’s become pretty obvious that I’ve had a musical year dominated by
indie-pop,
electronica and
post-rock. 2007 was also the year I discovered the joys of concerts: Stars, The Decemberists (twice), Battles, The Frames, The Album Leaf and
all of this in one year. You certainly won’t hear me complaining!
There’s a little treat waiting all the way at the bottom: A mixtape with some of the the highlights from these albums.
Without further ado, here’s my top 20 albums of 2007:
