Best music week 10
5 Mar 2008, 14:18
1. Hästpojken - Caligula
Can´t stop listening to this CD of short catchy punk/indiepop songs. Eklandagatan and Utan personlig insats are the favorites songs at the moment.
2. Tyler Ramsey -
Amazing Red House Painters-like song from the great album A Long Dream About Swimming Across the Sea.
3. Days - Downhill
7 Inch + CD EP of the most lovely melodic indiepop ala The Smiths, Orchids.. From Gothenburg Sweden.
4. Mixtapes & Cellmates and Yeasayer
Fantastic concert at Debaser i Malmö.
5. Mountain Goats - Heretic Pride
Their best since the 1996 album Nothing for Juice. Compared to the last couple of albums Heretic Pride is a little more intense. My favorite tracks on the album are Michael Myers Resplendent and Heretic Pride.
6. Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago
A proper release of the 2007 self-released album. Like an acoustic Band of Horses or a more melodic Hayden. Simply gorgeous. Review here.
7. One Night Only -
As good a song as any indie-anthem can be.
8. Pony Up! - What's Free Is Yours
I tried listening to Pony Up!, but the only song that stuck with me is this one. But it is enough for it is a super-cute pop song. Love it!
9. Morrissey - Vauxhall and I
I bought his latest greatest hits but I rather listen to his best CD ever. Every song on this album is a winner.
10. Sons & Daughters - This Gift
Another indiepop-anthem I can´t get enough of.
11. Tindersticks - Boobar
Best song from the new very consistent album.
12. Miss Kittin - Pollution Of The Mind
Catchy electroclash song from her new album.
13. Young Republic - Girl from the Northern States
Great Belle & Sebastian style indiepop-song from an otherwise dull album.
14. Hayden - In Field & Town
Good new album from the Canadian one man band.
15. Laura Marling -
Best song from a good album by the young and talented British girl.
16. Club 8 - Jesus, walk with me (jimahl remix)
Jimahl has made a fantastic mix of a Club 8 song. You can get it for free here:download it Read more here.
17. Scary Mansion -
She sounds exactly like Myra Lee era Cat Power. And that is good in my book. This song is great.
18. The Shondes - The Red Sea
Almost unknown with a self-released album. Better than anything Sleater-Kinney has ever done.
19. Drive-By Truckers -
From their too long 2008 album I picked out this little gem of a song.
20. Soda Fountain Rag - It's Rag Time!
Good twee-pop album from this Norwegian girl with an up-coming gig in Copenhagen.
