Featured Albums Of The Year 2009
The Horrors
Primary Colours
A review of the second Horrors album has not been written without the words My, Bloody and Valentine, but they also do a good job of channelling the spirits of Bauhaus, Neu!, Can and the girl groups of Phil Spector. Hypnotic synths and guitars, motorik drums and Faris toning down on the 6th form poetry have bailed these out of any previous crimes to garage rock and hairspray.
Animal Collective
Merriweather Post Pavilion
Merriweather Post Pavilion was so popular upon its release, even your nan will have heard about it. Go on, ask her. One of the most forward-thinking groups around, Animal Collective reached past the indie underground and bothered the mainstream folk with this beautifully crafted selection. One of the best albums of the last ten years, never mind just this one.
The xx
xx
The XX were a music bloggers delight this year; bedroom taste-makers across the globe couldn’t keep their fingers from typing up more praise for their debut album. Sultry boy/girl lead vocals, wrapped in sparse, moody atmospherics and tight beats that give it the subtlest of R&B groove, this is a record sure to be in the upper echelons of everyone’s 2009 retrospectives and certainly a contender for next years Mercury music prize.
Wild Beasts
Two Dancers
A second album of startling originality and intelligence that blew the critics away and put the Wild Beast’s flamboyant and theatrical indie on the map. The baroque-esque camp is served slightly muted this time around, with the rich, fruity lyrics getting more treatment from bassist Tom Fleming’s deeper voice, as well as more reined in, rigid structures that house a tidy groove. This is exquisite, depraved and for anyone looking for an adventure.
