So everyone knows that the drummer of the band usually has impeccable tastes in music and constantly shapes the band through their immense understanding of the dynamics of sound. Well the case is no different with the Levi Denbok Band.... more like the Trevor Walker band. Hahaha, ok all jokes aside. I decided that I would enlighten the world and all daily active users of my divine tastes in music and what I think are the best albums and songs of 2010.
*Disclaimer*
These songs are from a diverse background of various genres and may not reflect the musical tastes of the entire band, even though they should. Listeners of these songs are subject to their own opinions however; those opinions are most likely wrong.
Albums:
1. "Ellipse" by Imogen Heap
Imogen's latest album fuses so many styles and genres together and actuallymakes it work. She is by far one of the most talented singersout there and her latest albums proves just that. Like poetry for the ears. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAYkvQ0V_7I
2. "Fleet Foxes" by
Fleet Foxes
Brilliant album by this folk style/acoustic band. They blended interesting instruments and put it all together to create some pretty awesome mellow and heart-felt
songs. The cool thing about these guys is that they just do what they want rather than follow a crowd, and they write all of their own stuff. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4nkAUT-7mQ
These Scandinavian
guys know how to make really deep music through the use of interesting electronic sounds and samples.
Understandably not for everyone
but one can appreciate their album's awesome 1980's synth sounds and mellow somatic sounds that putt the listeners in a trance. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3eV9lBciavQ&feature=related
4. "Viva La Vida/Prospekts March" by Coldplay
Even though it came out last year, I still enjoyed this album this year... its awesome. I consider both the album and the EP "Prospekts March" a
single cd and for me they worked to show
the complexity of Coldplay and their ability to continue to push the envelope... which
is a refreshing change. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXSovfzyx28
5. "Me and Armini" by Emiliana Torrini
This little Icelandic singer has caught my attention with her recent albums, but "Me and Armini" really tops everything. As a singer and musician she challenges most female
pop/acoustic singers all doing the same stuff and adds interesting twists and rhythms yet still keeping her music accesibily to those who are afraid of change. Brilliant album, beautiful voice. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IrJKF1gTuw&feature=related
now best songs are as follows:
