Top 2008
I’ll do this even though shorter this time. These are Not in order, of any kind.
Capsule - Blue
Just brilliant. HC, melodies, energy, intensity, atmosphere.
Black Boned Angel & Nadja - Christ Send Light
So good. Makes me somehow happy and willing to give everything away because realisizing I have nothing and I’ll never have. This feels good.
Nadja - Bungled and Botched
After hearing Desire in uneasiness I as slightly worried, It didn’t really work for me, but after this my worries were blown away. Name song is such a massive construction of quality.
Nadja - Touched (vinyl)
Nadja - Radiance of shadows (vinyl)
Nadja - Truth Becomes Death (vinyl)
It’s just that releasing these on vinyl is such a right thing to do.
Tokyo Police Club - Elephant Shell
I wrote about more of this earlier
Nice to have them back.
Virus - Black Flux
Nothing sounds like this? Does it? it’s so clear continuation for Carheart, it’s great. Where the hell else you can hear such a waves in the music? And who else can make a line “peacocks used to walk these lawns” so threatning filled with loss.
Motorpsycho - little lucid moments
Two first song are tremendously brilliant rock.
Spoon - Gagagagaga (2007)
07 release but I found it on 08. Made my summer so much better with “Finer Feelings” and “Don’t You Evah”
September Malevolence - after this darkness, there is next
Such a huge step from the debut. Melancholic and moody. Beautiful as hell.
Audrey - The fierce and the longing
Beginning of summer, Good. “Way your sking fits so well”
Ihsahn - angL
I’ve been having troubles with falling out from metal scene so totally, so hard to find anythign worth while and there’s so much that I don’t know where to start. This was a pleasant “find”.
Andrey Kiritchenko - Misterrious
Already Andrey’s previous one for Spekk was brilliant. THis continues in the same vein. I like it.
Bon Iver - For Emma, forever ago
Damn this grew on me. In all of the sadness or melancholy it’s just makes me feel happy that there is someone(s) who can and make music this good.
