Obligatory End of Year List
My favourite recordings of 2006:
Tim Hecker: Harmony In Ultraviolet
Dense textures cascading over mournful melodies. High art.
Junior Boys: So This Is Goodbye
Gorgeous, brilliant pop.
Chihei Hatakeyama: Minima Moralia
Beautifully restrained electrorganica.
Los Lobos: The Town and the City
So very, very underappreciated.
Joanna Newsom: Ys
Insanely ambitious and magical. A modern day Astral Weeks.
