Essentially my summer in melodramatic musical form. There may be some who can guess the subject of this post, and if you're correct, good for you! Anyway, The next installment may be more cheerful.
Should I give a little info about the tracks? Well, since I'm waiting for it to upload, I'll say a small bit:
I chose each song for content, not just good sounds or something new and interesting. That said, there are some new and interesting songs on this list. #1 Sufjan Stevens: The second track of his latest work, The BQE, is quite the departure from the Americana-Folk he's known for. That track is a very good appetizer for the rest of the album, representing it nicely. #2 Dirty Projectors: Off one of the best albums of the year. At the end of the year, I'm going to have to remember to make a top-song-from-each-top-album list. #8 Slow Club: Another best of 2009, this is about as upbeat as they get, but the album ebbs and flows very well, with some fantastic slow songs as well. #9 Ödland: A French band, this album is basically the musical output of the art-collective the 4(?) of them have formed. One is primarily a photographer, one a filmmaker, and so on. I don't remember off the top of my head what they all do, but it's all SO good. #13 Yes Please: A girl (or more) from Olympia, who has moved on to other projects, leaving Yes Please in the dust for us to long after from the center of our hearts.
Link's in the title.
