1037 Fever Ray – Fever Ray

Fever Ray is another one I have not heard of until today. Fever Ray released her debut eponymous album in 2009. Karin Dreijer uses Fever Ray as an alias. She is also one half of The Knife with her brother Olof Dreijer. Both siblings are really weird in my opinion. She wants to be considered […]

#1036 Dirty Projectors – Bitte Orca

It seems to be have been some time since I have written that I have not heard of an artist or band, but today that changes with Dirty Projectors. They are an indie band, which mostly consist of singer-songwriter David Longstreth, who is the only real member. I have never heard of him either. Bitte […]

1035 The xx – xx

The xx debut album xx was released in 2009. I have been a fan since the first time I heard them. Their blend of indie pop and dream pop is perfect. I like Romy Madley Croft‘s vocals and especially when Oliver Sim joins in with her. And to make it even better Jamie Smith aka […]

1034 Grizzly Bear – Veckatimest

American band Grizzly Bear released their third album Veckatimest in 2009. This is an album that I like in the beginning, but I guess I forgot it over the years. I wonder how it will be to hear it again. I miss listening to “Two Weeks“. I used to really like this song. I obviously […]

1033 The Last Shadow Puppets – The Age of the Understatement

The Last Shadow Puppets is a modern day “supergroup” featuring Alex Turner of Arctic Monkeys, Miles Kane of The Rascals, and James Ford of Simian Mobile Disco. Their debut album The Age of the Understatement was released in 2008 to critical acclaim. I came for Turner. But did I stay? Turner vocals are obvious on this production; he has a distinct sound, yet this is different […]

1032 Kings of Leon – >ONLY_BY_THE_NIGHT>

Kings of Leon‘s >ONLY_BY_THE_NIGHT> (i prefer the stylized version) was released in 2008. It was their fourth studio album and the one that exploded them into “overnight” sensations. This is another band that I thought was from Australia because I watched some Australian programmes and it was where I first heard of them. I already […]

1031 Goldfrapp – Seventh Tree

Electronic duo Goldfrapp released their fourth album Seventh Tree in 2008. It was well received by the critics due to Goldfrapp’s new sound. Not many bands can change their signature and remain successful with their longtime fans. The album is filled with ambient sounds and downtempo music, which is a step away from their dance […]

1030 – TV On The Radio – Dear Science

I think 2011 was around the time TV On The Radio came into my knowledge of them as a band. Oddly, I was certain they were Australians, but they are actually Americans. Their third album Dear Science was released in 2008. I recognize the title of the album, but I am not sure if I […]

#1029 Portishead – Third

Portishead release their third album Third in 2008. It was their first album in eleven years and their last one to date. The band took the music into a new direction of incorporating krautrock, surf rock, and doo wop. It was rated by many critics as the best album of 2008. I found it hard […]

1028 Q-Tip – The Renaissance

Q-Tip released his second studio album The Renaissance in 2008. Q-Tip is probably the dumbest rap name ever. Is he saying he is dirty white cotton stick man? I already know I will hate this album because I hate most hip hop, yet I will give it a fair listen. None of the songs really […]
