Best of 2009

Category: Bunnies

The Dutchess & The Duke, Sunset/Sunrise

Stephen Steinbrink, Ugly Unknowns

Cole, Gifts

The Pastels & Tenniscoats, Two Sunsets

Lullatone, Songs That Spin in Circles This is my favorite album of the year. Shawn and Yoshimi made the record to be played for their newborn baby, so the songs are designed to be looped. Also the cover has an interactive color wheel on it which you can play with.

Category: Space

Mount Eerie, Wind's Poem Even though I haven't been listening to this a while lot, Phil's performance of the album with the full band sealed the deal for me.

Bobby Birdman, New Moods

Atlas Sound, Logos Here's a performance of "Walkabout" with Trish Keenan (of Broadcast).

Kurt Vile, Childish Prodigy

Javelin, Jamz n Jemz Bonus: Some mp3s at Javelin's website
