| Adebisi Shank This is the Album |
| "Hey ma hey ma hey ma! - look what I can do with a guitar!!!" is more or less the sentiment Adebisi Shank give off here on their insane debut. Far from fret blazing wankery though, the Shanks write their music with one foot in a puddle of math rock and the other in a bucket of fun, all while jumping up and down with frantic energy. With most of the songs here barely scratching the three-minute mark, This is literally packed so tight with awesomeness that its spewing from the seams. |

| Bomb the Music Industry! Goodbye Cool World! |
| Bomb the Music Industry! Scrambles |
| If punk rock had itself a barmy, mad professor to call its own, Bomb The Music Industry!s Jeff Rosenstock would be at the very top of the list of candidates. Taking a spin through Scrambles, it'd be easy enough to see him laughing maniacally around the album's wicked brew of attitude-fueled, messily composed DIY punk. While there's very little of what would be called a formula (Scrambles is far too interesting and varied to pin it down to any one recipe book, especially the loose "folk-punk" label the band is associated with), Rosenstock and co. assemble an alchemical mix of ingredients including a whirlwind set of piano driven backroom rockers, furious acoustic tirades and quirky but hard-edged forays of introspection all rolled into one. And as usual, sitting centre stage among it all is Rosenstock's biting lyrical scalpel, his powerful delivery underscored by the force of his playful irony, conjuring enough empathy to pluck ever so softly at the emotions while remaining irresistibly, absolutely and undeniably fun at the same time. And to top it all off? Well, the band is giving Scrambles away absolutely free online. Could you really ask for any more? |

| I realize that I'm going to lose a lot of indie points for this, but I'm too busy elegantly disheveling my hair to give a damn. Trailing on the bookends of the electrokidz craze of '07, Crystal Castles had just about everything going against them. If the gimmicky 8 bit gameboy samples didn't make this an album already marked for the bin of quick love, NME pretty much sounded the band's death knell by naming Alice Glass the coolest person of '08. And besides, nurave electro is sooo 2007. But I told you - I don't give a damn. There's more fun here than you'll find on a string of glowstick parties and more than enough surprises - from the manic "Xxzxcuzx Me" to the electropop of "Good Time" - to keep it interesting for a while to come. |

| Okay so the whole time I'm listening to this, I'm imagining Sharon Stone (circa Sliver) walking up to me real slow like, in this awesome black leotard, real skimpy like, and they're these candles (red), burning, and rose petals too. We're in a hotel room, by the way. So like, I'm sitting on a chair and she comes up to me, climbs on top and wraps those long, 80s sex goddess legs are around me, and shes sorta dry humping me, real passionate like, and then I reach down and start to unzip the leotard from behind, and she stops me, looks me in the eye real seductive like, and starts to like make out with my neck and oh my god I jizzed my pants. |

| Ok, this is just ridiculous now, no band should be allowed to be this consistently awesome. Usually this is the bit where I rant about how saturated the post rock scene is, but Do Make Say Think's brand of jazz infused instrumental jams are so strikingly unique it's hard to even consider mentioning the band and the genre in the same breath for fear of lumping them in with 'everyone else'. While Other Truths isn't the band's most polished record, there's a distinct feeling here that 'polished' isn't exactly the point - with just four songs averaging about ten minutes each, Other Truths plays itself out as one giant, magical studio jam that just so happily got captured on tape. That they just also happen to all sound immaculately composed and free flowing at the same time is only a testament to the wonder of this Canadian collective. Oh, and "Do" just might be the greatest thing these guys have ever written. Get. Now. Feel. Good. |

| Fireworks All I Have To Offer Is My Own Confusion |
| If you're after the perfect album for a teenage summer, then there's not much better you could do than All I Have To Offer... Brimming with an energy untarnished by anything less than a rollicking set of feel-good pop punk anthems, Fireworks make it their sole mission to drag kids kicking and screaming out from whichever dark, angry hole they've dug themselves and into the sunlight of their wistful playground of emotionally aggressive fun. Infused with a hardcore ethos drawn from fellow bands like Set Your Goals and Four Year Strong, what is on offer here, title aside, is a slew of wispy, bouncing guitar lines that flail playfully around David Mackinder's poignantly innocent lyrics. There's a certain nostalgia here too, but only just enough to make All I Have To Offer... the album you'll look back on and say 'hey, now that - that was a good time' with a tinge of heartfelt warmth and memory. While it may not be on the cutting edge of the scene, with its constant tsunamis of catchy, Yeti-sized chorus and way-above-the-standard songwriting, its one of the most gloriously infectious albums to creep up from the sidelines of '09 - and to do anything but revel in its light would be a crime against all that is awesome. |

This was the album Mayer simply had to have - from him to us, a breath of awesomeness. |

| Man, how's this for a step up? While The Floodlight Collective was a decent bunch of fuzzy wuzzy tunes, Spooky Action At A Distance takes the haze of the the previous album and puts it into sharp, diamond-sparkle relief: the melodies are better defined, the vocals more engaging, and the songwriting just miles beyond. Everything is just fucking better. With gems like these, any day now, it's going to be Deerhunter that's going to labeled the 'side-project'. And that's just fine. |

| Parades Foreign Tapes |
| Parades, like their name, know how to celebrate in style. I'm thinking dinner jacket, skinny black tie and a pair of blue jeans. You know the one. A little sharp, a lot cool. And when you've released a debut as clean and crisp as Foreign Tapes, there's every reason in the world to party: drawing from constellation of biting post-punk, warm indie-pop and a dash of honey sickle post-rock, if the sheer amount of hyphenating didn't give it away, Foreign Tapes stands on the razor's edge of the musical universe, redefining and breaking out of every little box on the display shelf. How else to explain the way the record delicately threads a line between crystalline sharpness and gorgeous, cascading layers of harmony? Or the way songs like Lung Full Of Light sway with an easy breeze while hitting like a ton of bricks? Or the soothing warmth of the Marigold's thundering climax? Foreign Tapes isn't just a party, but a lesson in how to throw one: new without being weird, innovative without being overbearingly eclectic - in a word, the most refreshing album of 2010. |

| A good friend described this album as the sound of Barry Manilow in 2008. He has a point. See, The Renaissance is smoother than the skin I'd be rubbing honey into as I undressed her in the dim lights of my pad and just about as cool as the club I picked her up from. After all, when you've gone so far from gangsta to have Norah Jones on guest vocals you may as well be compared to Barry Manilow. My sexytime music of '08. |

| The Dodos Visiter |
| At first glance, Visiter seems to be just there, its brand of breezy folk lying naked in the open with all on display. From Meric Long's seemingly frank, no-frills delivery to Logan Kroeber's "rainfall of rocks" percussion style, Visiter's unfaltering solidness makes it a strange offering in a genre so usually bound to intimacy. But it compels the listener to weave in and out of Visiter's musical tapestry, letting the songs fall around in the spaces in between. And when, as so often happens, the occasional musical idea strikes, it strikes deep, as beautiful lyrics swim over frenzied percussion and hurried, twangy guitar lines. And that, of course, is Visiter's strength- it's an album so at ease with itself that it's hard not to be taken into the folds of its fatherly arms: serious, but in the end, always there for you. |
