Top 5 Indie albums from this year?

music_phantom13 · 10-29-2009, 10:57 AM

We still have over a month left too, I'm not ruling out that something new could be in my list. I honestly wasn't that impressed by HEALTH, I mean it was a good album, but I don't think it's one of the best from this year. Same thing with Japandroids, they were both quite good but not my favorites.

someone told me that they heard that Dirty Projectors were going to be nominated for a Grammy. I would say that Grizzly Bear might be considering all the acclaim that their new record is getting, but Dirty Projectors?...

I personally wouldn't mind either of them being nominated. I have to admit I've come to love Bitte Orca.

Bitte Orca is great and honestly, I can't stress how nice it was seeing them open for TV on the Radio, because I had never heard them and was immediately sold when they came on. If you get a chance to see them live, take it. Their vocals somehow sound better live if that is even possible.

In no particular order

Dananananaykroyd - Hey Everyone
The Horrors - Primary Colours
Broken Records - Until The Earth Begins To Part
The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart - The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart
Colour - Anthology

I'm sure theres lot's I've missed, 5 isn't a very long list.
