Advent is almost upon us and in the past I've put together compilation CDs and MP3s of my favourite tracks of the year. This year I thought I'd do it as a blog piece!
War On Drugs 'I Was There' from the album 'Slave Ambient'.
My first PJ Harvey album purchase this year and what a corker. Here's the last track on side one.
More psych synth rock from Moon Duo
This album was originally recorded in/near Castleford! However, the band ditched most of the material and re-recorded it in London. I think this might be one of the original Castleford sessions as it sounds more raw than the version on the album. Anyways, this is Veronica Falls and the opening track from their debut album.
Still Corners are from London and specialise in dreamy indie pop. This is, for me, the stand out track from their 2011 debut album (technically I think the song dates from 2010 but who cares?!).
Endless Summer by stillcorners
The first album to have a beer made for it this year before Elbow and The Rifles jumped on the bandwagon. We got there first! The album's brilliant - sharp, angular, witty and many other adjectives.
Piglet - Sarandon by Odd Box Records
Wooden Shjips are a band best appreciated after 2 or 3 pints (as a legal substitute for Class A or B drugs). Great live shows and The Brudenell Social Club is a perfect venue to see them.
Wooden Shjips: "Home" by alteredzones
Caught the following act as support to Veronica Falls and Dum Dum Girls recently. They're excellent!
Novella - The Things You Do by DirtyBingo
..and the best for last. My album of the year (All That We See and Seem by The New Lines) and this is the best song I've heard in a long while.
