Years Best

A few of my favorites, highlighting the artists that I turned to the most. The first is Ben Sollee and his album Learning to Bend. His voice and brilliance on the cello are the perfect match. Every song is good.




Secondly is the Walkmen. Their music brings lots of sound, lots of different, unique sound.



Thirdly, M. Ward. His lyrics have an unfinished quality that makes you believe he threw down on paper exactly what he was feeling in the moment.

Finally, what I predict will continue to be one of the most listened in the new year: Rural Alberta Advantage. A very healthy dose of angst. Never had the angst-ish personality before to get into this as much as I have, but I think I'm long overdue to pick up an edge, and this album definitely helps with that. (No YouTube for them, have to check them on MySpace if you want a listen.)
