I've just about decided what were my favourite albums of last year. Well these are what they are as I write - and probably in the order they are presented but I know as soon as I send this message they'll change but that's what's good about music. (I've included a track to listen to as an introduction if you have not heard the album)
Lazaretto JACK WHITE (Just One Drink)
Hendra BEN WATT (Hendra)
If You Knew Her ZARA McFARLANE (Woman Of The Olive Groves)
Indian Ocean FRAZEY FORD (You’re Not Free)
I Love You But I Must Drive off This Cliff Now GOT A GIRL (I’ll Never Hold You Back)
If You Knew Her ZARA McFARLANE (Woman Of The Olive Groves)
Morning Phase BECK (Say Goodbye)
St Vincent ST VINCENT (I Prefer Your Love)
Saudade THIEVERY CORPORATION (No More Disguise)
Futurology MANIC STREET PREACHERS (Sex, Power, Love and Money)
Soused SCOTT WALKER / SUNN O))) (Fetish)
Popular Problems LEONARD COHEN (Did I Ever Love You)
Artificial Sweeteners FUJIYA & MIYAGI (Acid to My Alkaline)
My Silver Lining FIRST AID KIT (Stay Gold)
…And Star Power FOXYGEN (How Can You Really)
Someday World ENO / HIDE (Daddy’s Car)
How was yours for you?
PS just a thought it would be interesting when everyone and anyone does these end of year polls how their choices survive 5 or 10 years later. Like I'm sure by 2020 if asked to pick my top albums made in 2014 would more than half of those above be on the list? I know that could be because my tastes might have changed but I also reckon some tunes are of their time whereas some grow on you.
