Og således nåede vi til del tre og dermed de sidste fem bud på fantastiske udgivelser fra året der gik. Og nu skal vi nok love ikke at bringe flere lister over 2007!
Love is All, Josephine Olausson:
I'm just going to mention my favourite two records of 2007:
1. Deerhoof - Friend Opportunity
2. Liars – Liars
Mimas, Snævar Njáll Albertsson:
1. Do Make Say Think: 'You, You're a History in Rust'.
Constellations bedste bud på verdens bedste band! Pladen er gennemført! Den har alt (også vokaler i denne omgang). Fremadstormende, episk rock drevet af to trommeslagere, som har hørt godt efter i jazz-timerne, meget rå guitarer, en blæsergruppe og en legesyg bas! Pladen er smil provokerende og mere livsglad end deres forrige plader, og det klæder gruppen virkelig godt! Himmelsk musik!
2. Battles - "Mirrored"
Jeg har aldrig hørt musik tænkt på den måde. Det er det mest originale musik, jeg har hørt rigtig længe, leveret med et utopisk overskud.
3. Deerhoof - "Friend Opportunity"
Ikke engang deres fedeste plade, men uhørt fantastisk! Køb den, hør den og køb så Apple O, Runners Four og alle de andre!
4. Deerhunter - "Cryptograms"
Ligesom filmen Deerhunter var gruppens plade Cryptograms lidt svær at komme igennem første gang, jeg hørte den. Men det er ufatteligt, hvor meget den gror på en (her mener jeg pladen, men filmen har samme effekt). Meget original musik fra et charmerende band, med en smuk udstråling, både live og på plade.
Alexander Nitze (Stifter af Fabriken)
1. Digitalism - Idealism
2. The Good, The Bad & the Queen - The Good The Bad & The Queen
3. Bat for Lashes - Fur and Gold
4. Burial – Untrue
Parts & Labor, B.J. Warshaw:
Favorite stuff (no particular order):
1. Of Montreal - "Hissing Fauna Are You The Destroyer"
I haven't had an album on such incessant repeat in the tour van since 50 Cent's "Get Rich Or Die Trying".
2. Best Fwends - "Alphabetically Arranged"
Have loved these guys since I first saw them bounce around my friends storefront apartment house show in like 2003 or 04. The funnest of the funcore.
3. Gowns - "Red State"
I'm biased, because this came out on my label, Cardboard Records. But I defy anyone to find a more obliteratingly cinematic record from this year.
3. The Mae Shi - "HLLLYH"
Fellas totally stepped it up with a new lineup, four-part harmonies, biblical pop conceits, and a somewhat confounding ~20 min house jam centerpiece.
4. Panda Bear - "Person Pitch"
I actually rarely make it through the whole thing, but those first couple of songs blew me away.
5. Boredoms - "Super Roots 9"
Not their best, and I'm not sold on the choir, but they're still the best psyche/dance/future band on the fucking planet.
6. Battles - "Mirrored"
Again, biased because they're bros, but kudos to them for making good on the promise of making some very human music out of some very rigid technology and structures.
7. Big A Little A - "gAame"
Long-awaited, beautifully packaged, killer videos, finally a full length from one of my favorite Brooklyn party bands.
8. Marnie Stern - "In Advance Of The Broken Arm"
I can give or take Zach's drumming. What I love about this record is how Marnie develops precious and personal melodies amidst all the shredding.
9. Pterodactyl - s/t
I don't know which song I like better, the coming-down-the-mountain "Polio" or the trotting-through-the-wilderness "Esses", but with them as bookends these dudes, good friends and labelmates, put out the most exciting punk record I heard all year.
Yeasayer:
1. Dirty Projectors- Rise Above
2. Dragons of Zynth- Coronation Theives
3. Celebration- The Modern Tribe
4. Jay Z- American Gangster
5. Animal Collective- Strawberry Jam
6. Spank Rock - Bangers and Cash
7. M.I.A.- Kala
8. Ghostface Killah- The Big Doe Rehab
9. Panda Bear- Person Pitch
10. Björk- Volta
The end!
