Best Albums of April 2010
Dutchman are weird, but occasionally they are ace producers.
April has been an exciting month for new music. Our attention going into the month was on some big followup albums from MGMT, 65daysofstatic, and Caribou (if you don’t know who these bands are, please go home.) The two highest scoring albums, however, came from some relative upstarts. Noisia, a house/DnB hybrid electronic group blew us away with a 19-track arsenal of skillfully produced Holland hardcore that *truly* straddles genres. Close behind was west coast post-rock outfit Red Sparowes, outshining 65daysofstatic with a formidable collection of expertly played songs that excel in most every aspect of what makes instrumental rock awesome.
Sample As You Read
If our fancy college words and unfancy internet obscenities leave any mystery to the content of these albums (unlikely!), we have once again included album samples.
BTW Section
We’re scoring albums out of 100 now, because:
- We copy everyone and nothing on this site is unique or of value
- We are each capable of discerning 100 discrete levels of satisfaction, each accompanied by at least one precise adjective.
