Top Albums of 2009: Part I
Daft pun:
Really? I thought the latest Junior Boys was pretty uninspired. Then again I've never been a big fan of theirs.
Retrospectre:
I'm enjoying the new Bat For Lashes.

A series of ambient guitar pieces mixed, matched, paired and complemented with field recordings taken in and around an old ammunition depot. Seaworthy is like a less distorted version of Eluvium (sort of) in that he uses primarily a guitar and some simple looping techniques to produce complex and wonderful songs.

Have you heard his first album? If so, how does it compare?

The earliest album of his I've heard is 'Map in Hand.' I've never heard 'It's Humbling When Two Saints Meet' or 'Backwoods Architecture' so I can't comment on those. As far as '1897' vs.' 'Map in Hand,' however, I'd definitely go for the former. There's more of an emphasis of electronics in the new one, along with field recordings and more clear guitar work. It's a bit more minimal overall and more melancholy. As beautiful as 'Map in Hand' was, this new one is more interesting and dynamic.
Professor Snuggles:
Guys that Phoenix Album really is fucking incredible. Like, probably the best record I've heard this year, and definitely the most instantly amazing. So many perfect tracks, such good pop music.
Look, here's a mediafire link to it. Listen to this dang album, y'all, if you haven't already. Then go buy their albums, and see them live, and support them so they keep making awesome records like this.

Haha, whoops, 'Map In Hand' was his first album as far as I knew. ;) Thanks for the comments - I picked up 'Map In Hand' basically because I'm a huge fanboy for the label it was on and was a bit disappointed. I'll definitely look into the new one, though.
