As a little lunchtime distraction, here are my top 13 (don’t know why 13, but seems as good a number as any) records of 2010, in alphabetical order:
Allo Darlin’ : Allo Darlin’
Arcade Fire : The Suburbs
Beach House : Teen Dream
Crystal Castles : Crystal Castles ( II )
Foals : Total Life Forever
Gil Scot-Heron : I’m New Here
Joanna Newsom : Have One On Me
Magnetic Man : Magnetic Man
Phosphorescent : Here’s To Taking It Easy
Roky Erickson & Okkervil River : True Love Cast Out All Evil
Rolo Tomassi : Cosmology
Sleigh Bells : Treats
The National : High Violet
Links are to Spotify, where available. I’ve probably forgotten about a few, and given how many great records came out (and I bought) this year there’s of course some great stuff that I didn’t manage to include. Anyway - enjoy!
PS: As someone pointed out, I did indeed forget at least one album that should be on this list, so now let’s make it 14 with…
Holy Fuck : Latin
