© DrownedinSound.com | From the Archive - Devastations on album gestation: "It's generally pretty personal"
he always seems to get
overlooked despite his fantastic albums
*last year?
yeah
but it counts as this year if you're from mojo (re: that 6music thing i did yesterday)
Haven't heard that
I liked his cover of 'Let's Dance' though.
yup it's very good
always reminds me of Ed Harcourt (which is an excellent thing)
I'd Say Ed HArcourt's "A beautiful Lie" is one of the most underrated albums of last year
Starts off well
But gets quite dull, quite quickly, especially with the wannabe Nick Drake tracks.
...
Eyes don't have skin.
for me
Miracle Fortress - Five Roses
completely ignored
But it's a 2006 album!
Can I suggest
The Berg Sans Nipple's "Along The Quai" - nobody seems to know about this and it's really great... it hasn't been released in Europe yet though, so I guess that's a decent reason.
I love this
Saw them supporting Do Make Say Think earlier this year. You could stream the album from the Saddle Creek site, don't know if you still can.
I also find it a bit dull.
It's far too 'polite' for my liking. Bit too MOR.
yellow house
is far better. and equally as overlooked, at least in the UK.
did the andrew douglas rothbard album
come out this year? if so, that.
Ozomatli - Don't Mess With The Dragon
My album of the year so far, and nary a mention of it anywhere. The best thing they've recorded.
DJ Scotch Egg - Scotchausen
It didnt even get a review on here :(
His least good album
in my opinion
feist-the reminder
no-one seems to be talking about it at all but i love it. maybe my album of the year.
Its in my top 3
poof
two words:
beth
orton
Joan As Policewoman
Real Life would be mine (I bought it last month). But it came out last year. So I'll go with Feist.
They are both amazing albums
I tried to buy a JAPW t-shirt, but they didn't have any large ones. Dang.
Only one candidate
and it hasn't even had a UK release yet. Jim Fairchild, the guitarist from Grandaddy, has released an album called 'Ten Readings Of A Warning' under the pseudonym of All Smiles. It's brilliant, catchy, and criminally overlooked.
It's okay. Not his best.
But the Daniel Johnston cover is so fun.
And it has a fair bit of acclaim.
Overlooked albums of the year:
David Thomas Broughton - It's In There Somewhere
The Field - From Here We Go Sublime (althoughg critically that's done very well)
A Sunny Day in Glasgow - Scribble Mural Comic Journal
The Veils - Nux Vomica (US release)
Rhys Chatham - A Crimson Grail
THE Field
album is awesome!! Thanks 'thewarn' for that!!
never heard of them until last week and now i can't stop!! reminds me of ambient works 85-92 era aphex twin in places, just without the glitches
This year?
