And so I finally come to the albums of the year list. To be honest I'm not convinced this has been a particularly outstanding year for the long player. The top 3 are undeniably excellent albums, but after that the list includes 5 from a large morass of merely "very good" albums.
I've raved about Bon Iver at length on this blog, and it's no surprise to see For Emma... at number 1 - I'm still listening to it on a regular basis some time after getting it. The Dodos is another album to have held my attention, the inventive rhythms keep me coming back for more. DJ /rupture is one of only a handful of electronic albums that have made any impression on me in 2008, probably need to talk about it a bit more here.
1) Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago
2) The Dodos - Visiter
3) DJ /Rupture - Uproot
4) Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Dig Lazarus Dig
5) The Hold Steady - Stay Positive
6) Lambchop - OH (ohio)
7) Cut Copy - In Ghost Colours
8) Why? - Alopecia
