Hey, look. It’s my 10 favorite albums of 2013!
9Shaking 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
8OutRun
Kavinsky
OutRun captures the synth magic of the best 80’s film and TV soundtracks. It’s glorious.
Watch Protovision
7True North
Bad Religion
Bad Religion returns yet again. Fast, smart, punk with 3-part harmonies. Done.
Watch True North
5Nanobots
They Might Be Giants
Clever and catchy as ever, Nanobots is creativity in musical form.
Watch Black Ops
4…Like Clockwork
Queens of the Stone Age
A solid rock album from start to finish. My favorite Queens album, by far.
3Run The Jewels
Run The Jewels
El-P and Killer Mike make the best hip-hop album of the year.
2Random Access Memories
Daft Punk
The robots return to remind us that funk and disco music are still awesome.
Watch Lose Yourself to Dance
1AM
Arctic Monkeys
This album is huge. Alex Turner’s lyrics and singing is in top form and the beats and riffs are as dynamic as ever. Best rock album, and my favorite album of the year.
