Best Albums of 2009

Yes, so this happened much later than I originally expected. I should say that though the list is numbered, it doesn't necessarily reflect how I really prioritize each album. All these albums were picked because I actually listened to them this year, not because they were hyped up or because they're musically superior.

  3. The Antlers - Hospice
  4. Dirty Projectors - Bitte Orca

  7. Various Artists - Dark was the Night
  8. Atlas Sound - Logos
  9. Yo La Tengo - Popular Songs
  10. Fever Ray - Fever Ray
  11. jj - jj n° 2
  12. Karen O and the Kids - Where the Wild Things Are
  13. Girls - Album
  14. Bear in Heaven - Beast Rest Forth Mouth
  15. Deerhunter - Rainwater Cassette Exchange EP
  16. Fuck Buttons - Tarot Sport
  17. Mew - No More Stories Are Told Today I'm Sorry They Washed Away No More Stories The World Is Grey I'm Tired Let's Wash Away

haha if you like deerhunter you would probably like atlas sound, that is brian cox's solo project. i think phoenix's album is good, as well as the new yeah yeah yeahs. oh and dark was the sound is an album with a lot of different artists collaborating together, it took a while to get into, i had to listen to it a few times through, but it grows on you. ohh and matt & kim is one of my favorites.
