We are now half way through the year and here are my top 5 albums so far -
5. Tokyo Police Club 'Champion' - This is a great little record, and packs some great punches. From the off TPC always moved away from jumping on the strokes bandwagon, and although this is much more radio friendly than their debut, or second album 'Elephant shell' they still have a unique sound that keeps them apart from their canadian contemporaries.
4. Beach House 'Teen Dream' - This album really fucking annoys me. The lyrics are far from great, the tracks are painfully samey and the vocals are to a personal taste, but i just cant help falling in love with it more and more on every listen, and thats why its at my number 4 spot.
3. Crystal Castles 'Crystal Castles II" - This is up there with 'Merryweather Post Pavillion' for being one of the greatest electronic albums of the last couple of years. A much different and distinct sound than their debut. Pure Magic!
2. Male Bonding 'Nothing Hurts' - I'm really in love with this new lo-fi london scene at the minute, and male bonding seem to be flying the flag for it. A brilliant album with a lovely garage sound to it.
1. Arcade Fire 'The Suburbs' - I think i have said everything i need to about this Gem, so I wont say any more. Utter Classic in every respect!
