So let's assume I love music, and talking about music. Then let's assume I want to keep tabs on my fave albums this year. So the first three months down, here is the short list thus far:
Plastic Beach - Gorillaz
I know I panned it to start off with, but it's a slow burner and a work of genius.
One Life Stand - Hot Chip
Such a tender album... Yet you can dance to it, there's something genius at work here.
The Family Jewels - Marina and the Diamonds
The newest addition to the quirky songwriter's winning circle proves she has the chops.
The Trials of Others - Midlake
A beautiful record and one to listen to at sunset...
Realism - The Magnetic Fields
Stephen Merrit proves his disdain of the mainstream by layering a beautiful pop record with every other instrument than synthesizers.
Transference - Spoon
So these guys have their formula so down pat that you cannot actually fault them.
Contra - Vampire Weekend
Surprisingly good second album from the whitest boys in America.
Odd Blood - Yeasayer
Odd by name and nature, but I get these guys easier than I get Animal Collective, think MGMT plagiarizing Tears for Fears...
