More Highlights Of 2009 – A list of sorts
28 Dec
As I recovered from this wonderful Christmas holiday I had a little time to scan through the pile of music from 2009. I realized that there were a number of songs that I simply adored, but didn’t find themselves on any of my top albums of the year. These songs do however deserve to be recognized so here they be:
mp3: Atlas Sound – Walkabout (with Panda Bear)
The album was good but didn’t manage to jump to my best of list…this track however was aces and has me thoroughly pumped for a possible new Panda Bear album in 2010.
An infectious track by a brother duo based out of DC. Keep an eye out for their debut LP soon.
These boys didn’t bless us with an album, but this single via Green Label was a burner!
mp3: Despot – Look Alive (produced by Ratatat)
Man I hope there is more from this dude…and I have even more hope that Ratatat is involved as well.
mp3: King Charles – Time Of Eternity
KC hasn’t found much playtime in the states, but he’s another dude to watch out for.
mp3: Miike Snow – Animal
Their album was hit and miss for me, but this lead single (and the truck load of remixes that followed) made me seriously smile/dance on the first listen.
mp3: Soft Cat – Silver Babies Sun
Comprised of members of Talking Tiger Mountain and Weekends, Soft Cat, a Baltimore meets Texas affair impressed me from these first few singles/demos. If you like The Antlers, which I do, then you will most certainly dig Soft Cat.
mp3: Sensual Harassment - Soldier
I’m anticipating big things for these dudes in 2010. I could not stop playing this song for a solid month this year.
Their album was another that didn’t quite make my top list, but man is this song catchy. CATCHY!

This is great! I am an independent singer songwriter and I learn a lot from reading blogs like this – thanks so much for sharing.
nice…good calls on atlas sound, king charles, and the big pink…
atlas sound album i wasn’t crazy about, but walkabout is the shiznit
pumped for new king charles tunes
and yea, the big pink has two awesome songs and for some reason, their other stuff i can’t get all that into
yeah i agree about the big pink. Velvet by the big pink was on constant play in songbird. i was kind of surprised to see that The xx didn’t get a spot on here
the xx was on my top albums list previously posted here http://pastaprima.net/?p=4254
Saw Sensual Harassment at a loft party back in Nov. Pretty awesome live show as well.
