July, August & September. Shit was hot. Spending every summer of my 31 years in either Texas or Florida has gotten me accustomed to sweating, sandals and a lack of concerts. Thank god for the glory of interwebs and music blogs to supplement my ear balls.
The Glowing City by
{{{Sunset}}} and
TV on the Radio's Dear Science have left the biggest impression on me and have solidified spots in my top ten albums of the year. TVotR has gotten quite a bit of press - it's well deserved - these guys are making powerful music, dark and genre bending.
The Glowing City is one of these albums that comes out of nowhere and smacks you with tasteful surprises. I just can't get enough of
Thao Nguyen - her first album
Like the Linen is stripped down compared to this year's
We Brave Bee Stings and All, but the quality song writing and unique style is there.
Juana Molina is an Argentinian artist making dreamy, well layered space folk, her newest album
Un Dia is her fifth.
