My good friend Godfre recently reminded me that, although I contributed to several publication’s year end polls, I never posted my own favourites here. You can check out Godfre’s picks here.
This list is more what I listened to a lot rather than who made the greatest artistic statement and so such. Also, I had to commute a lot this year, which I personally believe led to the up swing in hardcore and metal on this year’s list…
10. Gallows – Grey Britain (Warner Bros.)
9. Said the Whale – Islands Disappear (Hidden Pony)
8. The Lytics – The Lytics (Independent)
7.Baroness – Blue Record (Relapse)
6. Japandroids – Post Nothing (Unfamiliar)
5. Animal Collective – Merriweather Postpavillion (Domino Records)
4. Dirty Projectors – Bitte Orca (Domino)
3. Converge – Axe to Fall (Epitaph)
2. Pink Mountaintops – Outside Love (Jagjaguwar)
1. Pains of Being Pure at Heart – S/T (Slumberland)
