what's new

so here's my (late) list of favorite music from 2010.

my general feeling was that lots of awesome new sonic grounds were covered, but somehow it all seems kinda distant to me. like the new thing with music (that i was listening to) was all about "distortion". The word distortion kept on popping into my thoughts this year, like a theme or something. guitar/synth distortion sounding fuzzy and wonky yet somehow catchy? wtvr! vague description! here goes:

Crystal Castles- Not In Love (ft. Robert Smith)

Foals- This Orient

Two Door Cinema Club- This Is The Life

The XX- Night Time

Bat For Lashes- Glass

Stellarium- Tomorrow’s Monday

Flight Facilities- Crave You (ft. Giselle)

Toro Y Moi- Blessa

Holly Miranda- Waves

Kings Of Leon- Revelry

Memoryhouse- Lately

Best Coast- When I’m With You

Mew- Reprise

Radiohead- Worrywort

Lonely Galaxy- Have A Heart

Pure Ecstasy- Alexandria
