recommend albums of 2010 (thus far)
Yet to hear/have my attention directed towards any release this year that I can get even remotely excited about.
So, along the lines of last years "2009 recommended", how about we start compiling and "^thissing" recommended albums.
The rules:
1. one album per post.
2. ^This the ones you recommend.
3. check to make sure your recommendation hasn't already been posted, before you post it yourself.
Personally, I'd prefer it if folks were sparing with their recommendations. But I ain't gonna police your ^thisses or nothing.

Yellow Swans "Going Places"
This is the LAST Album from Yellow Swans, recorded in 2007-08 and it is a 5 track noise album with repeating themes and good continuity and flow- a softer, more subdued Yellow Swans..."Limited Space" is awesome!
The bonus cd that comes with the limited edition vinyl is a reworking of the music on the album- NICE!

Richard Skelton "Landings"
A album very beautiful orchestral string music however it is laden with a preponderance of sorrow- a bit draining- like Samuel Barber's "Adagio For Strings" or Alan Hovhaness' "Mysterious Mountain". Not a once a week listen.

Robedoor "Raiders"
"Raiders" is amazingly the 66th release from Robedoor in less than five years- most of which are full length. It puts me in mind of loose and immediate sound of LOOP and These Immortal Souls. It's echoey, bombastic, slovenly, repetitious and completely wonderful.

Dag for Dag - Boo
I'd have gone for Beach House but many got there first. Dag for Dag's "Boo" is a very good straight forward indie-pop album. Worth a check out both on album and live too.

A definite grower. -
This thread should have come with descriptions!
Just a short sentence or two on what the album sounds like..
-
Manchester Orchestra- Mean Everything to Nothing
Probably their finest album yet! Highly listenable over and over and over....
-
Yeah, after the first ten or so posts
I realised that this wasn't actually going to help me find something I might think was worth listening to... thread fail.
-
No, not at all
I think that thread is great. I realise how many new album I have not listened to yet. I will be checking one or two more from that list.

Glad to turn people on to her.
Check out this thread from a while back,
http://drownedinsound.com/community/boards/music/4248309
Some very kind soul recorded her Oto set.
Also, MIE, she's done a couple of excellent albums with Loren Connors, who I saw you were listening to on the last.fm thread, so be sure to try those. -
its useful
to saddos like me who can guess the genre by who has posted it.
probably best if people wrote a quick sentence for relatively unknown stuff. even putting what genre it is would be helpful -
Local Natives - Gorilla Manor
Got this today and holy shit is it fantastic.
-
tindersticks - falling down a mountain
86 posts and I'm the first to mention this? It may not be the finest tindersticks album but c'mon it's a tindersticks album.
-
oh lovely, i shall check that out.
thanks for the prod. yeah I've been listening to loren connors double disc retrospective of his airs on spotify. seriously beautiful stuff, and i've got his new LP with Gray on order, so I'll definitely get some more listens into this.

I've only had one listen of this on Spotify
but it sounded absolutely lovely. I have their first two albums, which were okay, but this sounds like the album I was hoping for them. For some reason it is crazily cheap online- I bought it for £5.48 from amazon, and it seems to be £6 in other places. Very strange for a new release!

Tunng only came onto my radar
beacause of the song they did with (the wonderful) Soy Un Caballo. This is my first try of their music and I must say that I like. 'Hustle' is a great song.

especially the first track Crstl Mlts

Strange indeed
and also a bit annoying as I paid 8 quid for it, but I pre-ordered it and it came two days before the release date so I can't really complain. If you haven't heard Good Arrows you should really have a listen, it's amazing, better than the first two IMO, this new one is also ace, Tunng are wonderful.

I really like this album
my favourite of the year so far
-
VARIOUS / FINDERS KEEPERS - Pomegranates
Persian Pop, Funk and Psych of the 60's and 70's
http://www.boomkat.com/item.cfm?id=259231
"...some of the most obscure, eye-popping electronic pop/funk/psyche recordings made in Iran in the 1960's and 70's before the revolution and the overthrow of the Shah. Finders Keepers once again manage to educate and amaze with a prime selection of mindblowing obscurities - the production on so many of the tracks here just beggar belief. The music reflects Iran at a time when it was undergoing massive change, partly due to the influx of Petrodollars and the pervasive influence of modernity which created a tension between mystical Eastern traditions and the freedom of socioeconomic development. These pieces are borne of multiple traditions indigenous and exogenous, sonically paralleling the psyche phenomena of USA and Britain, while retaining its own distinct Persian personality in songs rich in sonic innovation as well as wilful and ecstatic vibes."

I'll give it another listen.
There's a lot of this stuff out there, mostly on Eps though.
Mike Slott's Lucky 9teen is a favourite of mine.
Ras G's Destination There Ep or Brother from Anotha Planet Lp
Dorian Concept's When Planets Explode Lp, The Gaslamp Killer's My Troubled Mind Ep and obviously Flying Lotus' L.A., 1983 and Reset Ep are all pretty essential.and from this year, Om Unit's Lightgrids, Illum Sphere's Long Live the Plan and Slugabed's Ultra Heat Treated Eps are great

Having listened to the album now
I can't believe they went with "Splitting the Atom" as the lead single. Along with the opener, it's one of the weakest tracks on the album.
Remixes are fucking great too!

nominating albums that aren't out yet is really cool
just shows how far ahead of the rest of us you are.
Don't doubt this will be one of the best of the year though. How could it not be?

Jack Rose- Luck In The Valley
The great guitarist's final album showcases how talented and what a range of styles Jack Rose had mastered when he tragically died. If you're a fan this is a must and for all others who enjoy music by John Fahey, Leo Kottke, Sir Richard Bishop, Robbie Basho, Steffen Basho-Junghans etc, this is a great addition to the Takoma, raga, pastoral, americana solo guitar lineage.
-
got this today
it's absolutely brilliant
-
So far the best I've heard are
a) Slaraffenland's album "We're On Your Side"
b) Oh No Ono - "Eggs" (so good)
c) Yeti Lane's album - I think it's self titled. -
Jaga Jazzist - One-Armed Bandit
not quite as good as the other 9-track Norwegian jazz-prog behemoth in this thread (safely this'd) but still a darn good effort

Could 'Viskra' be an early contender for my favourite song of the year?
Reckon it is going to take something very special to beat it.
-
It's free at the minute by the way: http://thecastofcheers.bandcamp.com

Is Slaraffenland
being released in the UK this year? I got it last year, and definitely second its greatness!
-
It is great
although I may slightly side with Milo as my favourite Fredrik song/contender for the year. Both great though.
-
The Kissaway Trail- Sleep Mountain
other than seeing them live once last year, I hadn't ever paid attention to these guys before, but this album sounds great/one that I think I'm going to love the more I listen to it.

So fucking stoked for this I'm nominating it after hearing barely a quarter of it on pre-release streams and live telly appearances.

Free the Robots - CTRL ALT DELETE
everything on this list makes me think of straw fields and dreamy-rainbow glare-filled vignettes right out of a silent Calvin Klein commercial, as a soundtrack for a tween coming of age Focus Feature. and i don't even know a lot of these names, I'm just guessing based on how many white people are on here.
so this post is for headnodic beats.
With this release (and I admit that i hadn't listened to previous FTR), FTR cements itself among the up-and-coming in instrumental breakbeat/hip hop influenced/UK bleep accented hypnotics. If you like Nosaj Thing, Prefuse73, Hudson Mohawke, or even late JDilla, then you'd be interested in this.
However, with all praise deserved, this is NOT the strongest of the year, shows room for improvement in terms of diversity on an LP, and leaves me desiring much more.
That being said, "Mental Universe" IS one of the strongest tracks of the year, and possibly two years, for me.
-
Groove Armada - Black Light
Now THIS is one of the strongest albums of the year, for me.
Far from their house music roots, Groove Armada lay down one of the most impressive musical surprises since last year's Dangermouse & Sparklehorse project.
So many influences are tied into a big sound; I really do mean that they attempt the transcendental, with strong songwriting, vocals, and musical structure, all around an electronic backdrop. This music is for communal uproar on a stage.
well. I think so anyway. Surprised me thoroughly.
CharlieMortdecai this'd this -

i was just about to check this out

Same here
Why not any of the Topley-Bird tracks?
At least 4 tracks on here made me replay and save for playlisting. production value is high, as we'd expect..haven't see/heard any remixes! will look.
-
James Pants - Seven Seals
Honestly. Quite a surprise, considering I knew him for 'Cosmic Rapp.' 'Thin Moon' is excellent. And the whole Garage influence is really something. Very Dangermouse-like work in this regard.

Food - Quiet Inlet [ECM]
The duo of Ian Bellamy (saxophone) and Thomas Stronen (genius on the percussion and electronics) collaborate with Fennesz and some other people for the first release on ECM. Mix of the traditional (often in Bellamy) and the pretty far-out (in Stronen and Fennesz) but just really gorgeous and coherent as a full-length.
Here's the BBC review with soundclips. -

I think I might go to the one in Manchester too. That event in Bristol sounds great too, if only...

Noisia - Split the Atom
augh! on repeat since I found it. seriously destroys any other beats album out there. just.. a really mature electronic album in the tradition of pure jungle drum & bass, but going way beyond it.
enveloping sound, a very steady surprise with every track. Thursday, Alpha Centauri, Dystopia, Diplodocus, Sunhammer ft Amon Tobin..
though the opener has an annoying electro bit just as a leadup. hah.

Guilty Simpson - OJ Simpson
Some hard raps over Madlib's production, Guilty sounds like he loosened up a little, seems more comfortable. Plays out like the Madvillian album in that its loaded with vocal snips, interludes, comedy, and randomness. Granted this is not as good as Madvillain, and not nearly as weeded out, but its most def in the top 3 hip-hop releases this year, so far.

I knew this producer was good but the album really took me by suprise with its brilliance. Melodic, deep, organic and fun garage infused dubstep music. Lots of live instruments and atmospheric business as well as large basslines.

i didn't mean it entirely literally - i don't really care
but there are about 3 eps I would reccomend from just this last week, and since the majority of people aren't that bothered, it seems unfair to foist them all in here
+ an lp is completely different from an ep in terms of how they're structed, how they're listened to, how they're bought, how they're quantified at the end of the year - they aim to do completely different things.
+ the thread is called 'Recommend Albums of 2010 (Thus Far)'but as I say, I don't really care and was 90% joking with a 10% of anally wanted to be tidy, and officious.

girls in the eighties — Teenage Royalty
kinda nu-gaze. I'd describe it as The Radio Dept. meets The Big Pink at times The Radio Dept. meets Deerhunter at other times (they do a cover of Strange Lights), but not only would that be inadequate and unjust, the first description at least would probably put a whole lot of people off it.
Can't figure out if this is actually '09. Seen it described as an '09 release, but the earliest menion of it I can find is in Jan '10. Plus the band themselves don't blog about it as being released until March '10. So, I'm a-gonna make an executive decision and call it an oh-ten release.
And it's quality, in any case.

Standard Fare - The Noyelle Beat
Just a fun, fun album from start to finish it has (i think) revived my love of Indie, brilliant. It was either this or Worriedaboutsatan 'Heart Monitor EP' which was just beautiful.

Laurie Anderson-Homeland
Incl. guest spots from K.Hebden, A.Hegarty, J.Zorn and L.Reed and will BLOW YOUR MIND.

The Black Keys - Brothers
Consistent band they are. Better than Attack and Release and a fine all around solid rock album. Paced well and has some nice grooves to accompany the grit.
-
huge progressive step forwards..
.. I've seen them play live 3 times in the last 12 months, and while Chi is greatly missed (get well!) they're tighter, stronger, focused & more intense than ever before - when they were almost a joke for not being able to keep in time. Diamond Eyes combines their finest light & dark moments into one passionate album. So my fave record of the year so far - and everything I'd hoped for.

Doesn't pretend to be anything it isn't, just balls out good fun

hey retards
You're all predictable, ugly ass Brits. Your music is pure shit these days. What happened to the days of stealing from African-American blues? What you pump out now sounds like eating your own vomit instead of hasty theft. Suppose I can't decide which is worse.
No one in America cares about ANY British bands out NOW. Why? Because you're last in line. Untalented, marginal, boring. Your teeth are collectively fucked. You smell of piss and tea. I wish the ocean would cover you completely. The only thing you had going was the Beatles, but Brian Wilson always came out on top.BTW, I relish negativity. It makes me feel good. So keep it cumming, fags.
shucks this'd this -
There's a reason Americans are regarded poorly over these shores.
And that's because of cuntish blowhards like yourself. Cheers.
-
Hmm.
Judging a whole nation based on one kids (whos probably just having a good time trolling) random rant on a music forum is suspect.

Rose Elinor Dougall - Without Why
a surprisingly beautiful debut from the former pipettes vocalist. I can seriously see this sneaking onto some AOTY lists.
pichaelmarker this'd this -
America can suck my dick
fuck you,u yank piece of shit, only someone from a country as obnoxious as the USA could honestly think cousin-fucking hillbilly Brian Wilson is a better songwriter than John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Even Ringo Starr beats the shit out of Wilson's songwriting abilities. This is pretty much the Beach Boys' reaction to Wilson whenever he wrote a new song; "What's that Brian you've come up with a new song? Well, yes that is surprising, a conventional pop structure with unnecessary harmonies and a complete disregard for melody. You've done it again Brian, and to think 50 years from now some unemployed, stoner, fuck-knuckle of retard will compare your tedious work to the inspirational work of the Beatles."
Besides, British music is just automatically better then American because our music is so crafted. Look at Radiohead, they release an album every 3 to 4 years and blow everything American out of the water. Then all u yanks lick your wounds and try to write something similar, failing epicly, and then you all agree that in actual fact it is better then Radiohead and go to bed and dry hump your guns or your flags or the 3rd world's asshole.
Have you listened to yourself, no good British bands? every heard of the Horrors, the XX, Wild Beasts, the Big Pink, Fuck Buttons, Bat for Lashes, Bloc Party, The Kills, Los Campesinos, Elbow, Late of the Pier, Foals, the Maccabees, Biffy Clyro (for a while atleast).
I mean let's face it ALL American bands owe a huge deal to British music and equally British music owes a lot to American music, the whole point is that influence is everywhere and about celebrating our similarities and differences so the whole debate is null and void anyway.
Peace out bitch, I hope I didn't distract you from funding right-wing guerrila militias or completely fucking up the world economy.noise_annoys this'd this -

I love American music
it's dominated my music collection by probably 5 records to 1 over the last few years... a similar ratio to their population over ours perhaps, it makes sense.
but it's ignorant to say the U.K. doesn't produce any great music anymore and if no one in America cares about artists and bands such as
Laura Marling, Four Tet, The XX, Radiohead, Orphan Boy, Burial, Bat For Lashes then its their loss...
i personally don't believe that that's true, give them some credit most Americans aren't that stupid just negative people who thrive of reaction maybe they have something missing from their lives... grace, taste, humility and dignity for sure
-
Yes, an excellent record
Though not quite as good as Friend & Foe IMO
-
Mines is great..
but F&F and IATFBM are both just a little bit better.

Taken together, the four releases confirm that at its best, when Jorma was soaring, Jack rumbling and the three voices joining in ecstatic melisma, no other band could ascend to the heights attained by the Airplane. Hand-picked by a team of devotees and featuring rare photos inside handsome digi-packs, these concerts distill and express the dream and promise of the Haight-Ashbury scene.

by the man who bought us Indignant Senility. exchanges the droney classical of that record for some kind of weird inversion of hip-hop (some might say hip-hop pastiche and get annoyed, and they might have a point, idk) which taps into the current fixation with dj screw and stuff like that. it's fun basically.

Best and Worst of 2010

Mark Fell - Multistability [Raster-Noton]
pretty cool glitch record from one half of snd. wins points for being partially recording in Grimsby (i think)
boomkat talk some shit about it being funky (odd how unlike p4k who feel the need to make dance music into idm, boomkat seem to want to turn what is essentially home-listening electronica into genres of underground dance music it has utterly nothing to do with. noticed it with a couple of things as well) ANYWAY...good record. complex digital glitch, with an innate sense of rhythm and funk.
