The year is a third over...so it's time to present my Top 3 albums of the year (so far.)
1) Hot Chip "Made In The Dark"
This is wonderfully dancey, quirky & melodic album. Shades of Depeche Mode, Talking Heads & disco.
Favorite line: from "Hold On:" "I'm only going to heaven if it taste like caramel."
2) Atlas Sound "Let The Blind Lead Those Who Can See But Cannot Feel"
Trippy, experimental rock from Bradford Cox, singer from Dearhunter. After about 5 songs in, it becomes this ambient sound in the room. Never tries to hard to grab your attention, so it's perfect to have on when working.
Band from Oakland area that is kind of folk, kind of hip-hop, kind of pop, kind of (insert genre)…with clever and funny lyrics. Yet not for the faint of heart. The Mountain Goats meet Beck.
