Not necessarily in any particular order, although I do try, here are my favourite albums of the last 12(ish) months. Needless to say, there's no Kings Of Leon... Oh well.
Feel free to agree/disagree/comment.
1. Grinderman - Grinderman 2
Everything dirty rock should be. No holds barred for Nick Cave, and this album truely is a relevation.
Check out - Worm Tamer
2. Arcade Fire - The Suburbs
They keep getting better and better. A perfectly crafted album that should warm the coldest of hearts.
Check out - Month Of May
3. Best Coast - Crazy For You
West coast stoner pop at it's finest. Granted I've never heard it at it's worst but still...
Check out - Feeling Of Love
4. Vampire Weekend - Contra
Lawsuits aside, this album picks up where 'Vampire Weekend' left off, and continues the party. Good times!
Check out - Cousins
5. LCD Soundsystem - This Is Happening
If this is the last thing James Murphy releases under the guise of LCD Soundsystem, then what a high to go out on.
Check out - Drunk Girls
6. Kele - The Boxer
Keeping alive the techno groove that Bloc Party strode into with 'Flux', Kele Okereke brings the beat with his solo offering.
Check out - On The Lam
7. Bombay Bicycle Club - Flaws
An all acoustic album that revels in the pop/folk genre.
Check out - Ivy & Gold
8. Frightened Rabbit - The Winter Of Mixed Drinks
Maybe not as powerful as earlier offerings, Frightened Rabbit's fourth album is however good enough to make my list.
Check out - Swim Until You Can't See Land
9. Admiral Fallow - Boots Met My Face
My discovery of 2010. Wonderful Scottish band, who make jolly good music. Buy it and listen.
Check out - Old Balloons
10. Belle & Sebastian - Write About Love
Twee indie kings return with an album to tug the heartstrings and brighten your day.
Check out - Write About Love
Enjoy!
