Everyone likes making lists. Below is a list of my favourite albums of 2013. This year was a really good one for music. A few new artists, or at least new bands and a bunch from my favourites. I actually got a chance to see 7 of my top ten this year, including King Krule who plays tonight. When I get a new album I tend to obsess over it, listening to it endlessly. All the albums on my top 10 were those kind of albums. In particular Bosnian Rainbows, Lorde and Marnie Stern really feel into the obsessive category. Lorde is someone I never thought would have resonated with me so much. I easily dismissed her upon hearing her hit single Royals everywhere on the radio. I gave her album a listen on rdio and gradually, okay quickly became a fan. Now in no particular order;
Bosnian Rainbows – S/T
Marnie Stern – The Chronicles of Marnie Stern
Chelsea Light Moving – S/T
Deftones – Koi No Yokan
Crystal Antlers – Nothing is Real
King Krule – 6 Feet Beneath the Moon
Mudhoney – Vanishing Point
Vista Chino – Peace
Arcade Fire – Reflektor
Zaz – Recto Verso
Pearl Jam – Lightning Bolt
Polvo – Siberia
