In 2008, I had a heck of a time trying to come up w/ 10 albums that I truly enjoyed. This year - I had a hard time scaling down my list. Behold - my top how ever many of 2009! After much debate - there is a new subcategory on my list. Two albums on my list were actually produced decades ago- but they were never before released until this year. Is it a new release or is it a reissue? Technically, neither. So that explains the "never before released until this year" category:
- Thee Oh Sees - Help! (In the Red)
- Bowerbirds - Upper Air (Dead Oceans)
- Fresh & Onlys - Debut (Castle Face)
- Woods - Songs of Shame (Woodsist)
- Grizzly Bear - Veckatimest (Warp)
- Bill Callahan - Sometimes I Wish We Were an Eagle (Drag City)
- Fiery Furnaces - I'm Going Away (Thrill Jockey)
- Smith Westerns - 1st Album (Hozac)
- Sonny & the Sunsets - Tomorrow Is All right (Soft Abuse)
- Dutchess & The Duke - Sunrise/Sunset (Hardly Art)
- Bitter Tears - Jam Tarts in the Jake House (Carrot Top)
- Stricken City - Songs About People I Know (Kora)
Never Before Released until 2009:
- Pisces - A Lovely Sight (Numero)
- Death - ...For The Whole World to See (Drag City)
Fave Reissues -
- Serge Gainsbourg - Histoire De Melody Nelson (Light in the Attic)
- Monks - Black Monk Time (LITA)
- Raincoats - S/T (Kill Rock Stars)
- Vaselines - Way of the Vaselines (Sub Pop)
