Philadelphia, PA
top ten albums
10Danger Mouse and Sparklehorse: Dark Night of the Soul
Music inspired by photos taken by David Lynch? Much more linear than one would expect.
Standout Track(s): Little Girl
09The Tallest Man on Earth: The Wild Hunt
The Tallest Man on Earth is Swedish? His voice has more in common with hopping a boxcar in Minnesota than ABBA, Ace of Base or a finesse hockey forward.
Standout Track(s): The Wild Hunt
08Beach House: Teen Dream
Light and airy, but interesting enough not to induce rapid eye movements.
Standout Track(s): Walk in the Park
07Broken Social Scene: Forgiveness Rock Record
Not quite sure how all 47 members of the band plus assorted guests can put together high quality rock albums. But they do.
Standout Track(s): All to All
06Sufjan Stevens: All Delighted People / The Age of Adz
A welcomed change to his sound. Although 25+ minutes of ‘Impossible Soul’ without the diversion of an inflated pig proves a bit much.
Standout Track(s): Too Much
05Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti: Before Today
Diverse, eclectic and scattered – exactly what you’d expect from something named ‘Haunted Graffiti.’
Standout Track(s): Bright Lit Blue Skies
04Phosphorescent: Here’s to Taking It Easy
Nothing ground-breaking, just a great collection of folk/alt country tunes.
Standout Track(s): Los Angeles
03Best Coast: Crazy for You
Lyrically – embarrassingly simplistic. Sonically – pure pop bliss. So sunny and breezy my drivers side farmers tan deepens after every play.
Standout Track(s): Our Deal
02Arcade Fire: The Suburbs
Remove two/three songs and see ‘Halcyon Digest’ comment.
Standout Track(s): Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains)
01Deerhunter: Halcyon Digest
Unlike most albums that fade to filler, the further it gets from track one, the better it gets.
Standout Track(s): Helicopter
