Top 10 Albums of 2013

Hey, look. It’s my 10 favorite albums of 2013!

10

Endless Fantasy

Anamanaguchi

Pure instrumental 8-bit dance pop rock bliss.

Watch 「MEOW」

Shaking The Habitual

The Knife

This unapologetically experimental album pushes the boundaries of electronic music with powerful beats and ambiances that are as dark and frightening as they are catchy.

Watch A Tooth For An Eye

OutRun

Kavinsky

OutRun captures the synth magic of the best 80’s film and TV soundtracks. It’s glorious.

Watch Protovision

7

True North

Bad Religion

Bad Religion returns yet again. Fast, smart, punk with 3-part harmonies. Done.

Best of 2011: Music

It’s my 10 favorite albums of 2011!

10

Cure for the Common

Cure for the Common

Bozeman’s own Cure for the Common released their debut album this year, and it seriously rocks. This unique funk-jazz-rock-hip-hop blend packs some killer grooves and fresh flows.

9

Audio, Video, Disco

Justice

A departure from their previous work, Audio, Video, Disco finds Justice mixing their signature dance sounds with cheesy 70s rock music. An odd move for sure, but the results are pretty interesting.

8

One for Sorrow

Insomnium

Insomnuim beats out releases from Amon Amarth and Turisas to be only metal album on my list this year. One for Sorrow lives up to it’s name with a powerful sound of strong melancholy and an underlying beauty that shines through in the melodic guitars and clean vocals.

7

Turtleneck & Chain

The Lonely Island

Turtleneck? Check. With another on deck. Case I spill something on it. Like some light beer? Yes.

They Might Be Giants

They Might Be Giants took a break from children’s music (which was also quite good) to put out their 15th studio album. The Johns’ may be getting old, but their unmistakable style is still as sharp as ever.
