#1 Sleepy Sun - Embrace
Guess I gotta thank The Assemble Head in Sunburst Sound for putting me onto this marvelous group. When I found out vocalists Rachael Williams and Bret Constantino were to record with Assemble Head on their own latest outing I thought I'd better check them out to keep me busy while i patiently waited for "When Sweet Sleep Returned". As it turned out "Embrace" caught me totally off guard, and blew me the fuck away. Better than anything i could have expected. I've been keeping tabs on them all year, checking out videos of all their performances and i gotta admit I'm a total sucker for everything they do. Ridiculously awesome riffs, lovely spacey jams. They've another new album just around the corner, and from what I've heard so far it's going to slaughter!



#2 Sholi - Sholi
If it weren't for the now-defunct indiepassion blog i'd have never discovered this wonderful and totally unique gem. It was the first album to blow me away this year, way back in early February. Some would carelessly tag this as indie garbage but that simply isn't the case. The musicianship and songwriting is very unique, with each song comes a lovely melody as well as an excellent aggressive drive. Their style is balanced, emotive, hypnotic, intelligently composed and all the while incredibly technical. Oh, and i didn't even mention the drumming on this record. Good lord, just download and listen to the dude tear it up! - P.S. "Spy In The House of Memories" totally sounds like some modern indie/King Crimson hybrid, really fucking cool.



#3 The Assemble Head In Sunburst Sound - When Sweet Sleep Returned
I've mentioned it a dozen times prior, but god damn it do love Tee Pee Records. Everything they put out is golden, and this was no exception. I was completely obsessed with Assemble Head last year when i discovered their previous record "Ekranoplan". There's just something about their sound that i can come back to again and again. Not to harp on the meaningless, but i'd unkowingly rack up 50+ spins of their albums and have them jump up into my most played here on last.fm without even knowing it (and certainly without getting sick of them). While they might not have changed it up much from album to album, it's certainly no less enjoyable. Can't wait to see what they do next. If it's more of the same i won't mind at all.



#4 Ancestors - Of Sound Mind
Ancestors' 2008 debut was one of my favourites so naturally i was keeping tabs on this baby! What we have here is essentially 4 fucking huge pieces, each clocking in at around 15 minutes - and a series of short and contrasting interludes. They've added so much to their already-scorching sound here and almost sound like a completely different band. The production is truly something to behold. I absolutely love the keys spread all over this album, the bluesy guitar solo's are very tasty as well. Running in at just over an hour usually pushes it for me, but i still didn't want this one to end. It smacked me right from the get-go. Keep an ear out for these heavy motherfuckers!



#5 The Decemberists - The Hazards of Love
The Decemberists' earlier work never really clicked with me, but to be fair i don't think i ever really gave them a chance. It was because of this i was completely blown away with "Hazards", a beautiful collection of songs and recurring themes all arranged to perfection. That break down in "A Bower Scene" is one of the coolest things i've heard in a long time! Gotta give their earlier stuff a second chance asap.



#6 Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros - Up From Below
The buzz on this crazy bunch has been steadily picking up momentum ever since the Letterman performance earlier in the year. It seems as if everyone who caught them that night instantly fell in love with them. I managed to pick a copy up from Amazon for pocket change and now it's become one of my favourites of the year. It's big and wild, easy to sing along with, completely over the top and most importantly, it's just a really entertaining listening experience.



#7 Alice in Chains - Black Gives Way To Blue
I really didn't know what to expect with this. It's good enough to hold up to the band's legacy, and at this point in time i guess that's all we can ask of it. I still don't really like "Lessons Learned" and especially "Take Her Out", but everything else holds up. "When The Sun Rose Again" is excellent. The highlight has to be the haunting "Private Hell", which one could guess narrates Layne's final days, as well as the closing title track which ends too quickly, further serving it's purpose. A fitting tribute to Layne, and a fitting swan song for the band should they choose not to continue.



#8 Greater California - All the Colors
This here's another gem i stumbled upon while browsing the aforementioned indiepassion blog. They're from Long Beach, L.A. Road trips, cookouts, sunny days and beaches, Pet Sounds and nostalgia. All that good cheesy stuff comes to mind. Produced by Ikey Owens of TMV but don't let that give you the wrong impression. This is totally melancholic and chilled. My favourite "midnight album" of the year.



#9 Imaad Wasif - The Voidist
Given Tee Pee Records' reputation as one helluva heavy label i gotta admit i was a little hesitant while reading about this Canadian fella, who is primarily known as the touring guitarist for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. I decided to check out all three of his solo albums, including this, his latest. The debut was very dark and mellow which brang to mind Elliott Smith at first. In contrast, his second album "Strange Hexes" with his current backing band Two Part Beast (a modern Crazy Horse in the making) is fucking loud, and it fucking rocks! His latest "The Voidist" mixes the two elements into one great and unique record. Clearly his best so far.



#10 Balmorhea - All Is Wild, All Is Silent
Gotta be honest, I didn't think much of this after my first few listens. A few months after release i returned to it and it slowly infected my psyche. Every time i listen i imagine some wonderful film in which this would comfortably suit as a score. The landscapes of No Country & There Will Be Blood come to mind. Hell I've never even visited the US, but i sure do love Balmorhea's latest Americana-tinged release.



#11 Stardeath and White Dwarfs - The Birth
Hot damn, this caught me by suprise! Absolutely love the Floyd influence. But there is really so much more going on here, hell i was half expecting Coyne No. 2 to rap along with that wicked digi-happy beat from "I Can't Get Away". The best Coyne-family release of the year! Bring on that family gathering-dsotm cover already.



#12 A.A. Bondy - When The Devil's Loose
A.A. Bondy has been one of my favourite folk discoveries of the last few years. He obviously takes his cue from the greats, and it shows. However it's this sophomore release of his where he's really fleshed out his own familiar sound. "A Slow Parade" & "Oh The Vampyre" are two of my favourite songs of the year.



#13 Truckfighters - Mania
These guys have been steadily chugging along as the new Kyuss over in their native Sweden for a few years now. From release to release they have tightened up a little but this here, their latest, is the real deal. They really stretched out here and it's payed off as one of the best rock albums of the year, for me anyway. It's straight up classic desert rock with a little 90's grunge thrown in for good measure. Tell me the vocal harmonies on the closer "Blackness" don't sound a hell of a lot like Cantrell and Staley! Awesome.



#14 Kings of Convenience - Declaration Of Dependence
This is wonderful late night listening. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure it's just as excellent at all times of the day and night. I probably won't listen to it a whole lot but when those nights come this is what I'll be reaching for. I'm liking it better than their previous so far.



#15 Hopewell - Good Good Desperation
Leave science behind and imagine for a moment if you will, a mass orgy the likes nobody has ever seen before, in which Perry Farrell and his original band of addicts somehow, someway, impregnate Jason Simon and his band, Dead Meadow. Stay with me.. ok so these four or five little messed up children grow up and form a band of their own, yeah you know it, Hopewell. The science works!



#16 Mouse On The Keys - an anxious object
Discovered this fantastic Japanese jazz band from TheSirensSound blog last year. The drumming especially is excellent. The second half of the album in particular is mind blowing. The funky 'Double Bind' has one of my favourite beats in a long long time. The next track 'Soil' cruises along at a nice pace before unleashing an absolutely incredible extended sax solo, the definitive highlight of the album for me. Good funky jazz fusion/post-rock with nice beats, a fun listen.



#17 Black Math Horseman - Wyllt
Progsychedoomic-Metal? Nah, fuck tags. But this is a welcomed fresh breath among those genres mentioned. The whole album is solid but i have to mention the closing track. Boy oh boy is it heavy. One of my favourites of the year. Lead singer Sera Timms has one hell of a possessed, demonic-like howl to her. Yes, her.



#18 Blakroc - Blakroc
I didn't even see this one coming. I'm not the biggest fan of The Black Keys but i like what they did here and in turn i guess I gotta check out more of their work. A few of the MC's annoy me but for the most part i enjoy it all. I love the first Mos Def track, as well as the RZA & Pharoahe track the most. I enjoyed the studio videos, seeing how everyone interacted and how the project came about through it's stages. I read they are compiling all that into some kind of documentary soon, should be cool.



#19 Quest For Fire - Quest For Fire
Why is it that when i first seen this creepy artwork of a seemingly drug-fucked human being slobbering all over his/her/it's own breasts (???) I was instantly set on obtaining the album? What does that say about me? At any rate, i did notice this was on the wonderful Tee Pee Records label and knew right away of the quality waiting to be discovered. Fortunately for me, this was but one of the many awesome psych releases of '09.



#20 Shrinebuilder - Shrinebuilder
How could this ever possibly live up to the huge expectations of most fans? I mean let's face it, to have these four influential giantlemen of all things heavy in the same room is fucking big. Having said that, if you can put all that bullshit to the side and just let this one slowly burn through, you WILL see the light! If you dig this, check out the latest Ancestors' record posted up top. Trust me on that.



#21 The Flaming Lips - Embryonic
Strange, strange, strange. I gotta give 'em credit for changing it up, but good lord! All i know is after 5-10 listens of the latest Lips album i still can't quite get my head around it. Like i said, strange. One can only wonder what other kinds of strange Uncle Coyne & co will unearth to us come decade number four! I can't wait to find out.



#22 Mastodon - Crack The Skye
For one reason or another this was my introduction to the mighty Mastodon. Gotta admit this is pretty kick-ass, i don't much care for the vocals though. I see this moving up the list in time. It's been a pretty fucking heavy year though...



#23 Black Bonzo - Guillotine Drama
This was probably my most anticipated album of the year and while it certainly isn't bad, i figure i might have hyped it up too much. Nothing was going to live up to what i was expecting. Hell, i don't even know what i was expecting. I can't really fault the album.. the songs are great and the band is continually adding new and interesting dimensions to their already awesome brand of "retro" prog-rock. Gotta admit that's one god-awful cover design though. I'm just glad this band exists, to be honest.



#24 Serpent Throne - The Battle Of Old Crow
Sabbath worship at it's finest. You could probably con someone into thinking this is a lost Iommi, Geezer & Billy Ward jam record. It really is spot on.. although completely instrumental. Bottom line is while I'm listening to this album it fucking rocks. But when i'm not i tend to completely forget about it. In a way that kind of sums it up. It'd be interesting to hear these guys lay down some vocals on top, but i guess that's not what it's about.



#25 Arctic Monkeys - Humbug
Sure i knew of them and a few of their earlier hits, but until "Humbug" i had never given a shit about the Arctic Monkeys. Decided to check this out after learning of Homme's involvement. Yep, "his" sound is definitely present. This is pretty cool.

I listened to tons of different stuff the past 12 months, as usual catching up on albums released the previous year and beyond so these don't really reflect ALL my favourites; these are the albums I loved the most that I bought and were released in 2009. I know it's a bit fucking lame to gush about a bunch of albums I loved (and most people didn't haha) but hey, if anyone reads this and enjoys one of them then that's well worth it in my book. I'd love to hear what your favourites have been too.

The Pains of Being Pure at Heart- Pains Of Being Pure At Heart
This was the best recommendation I recieved this year. Hardly original, this album is poppy early 90's shoegaze but fuck me if it isn't better than anything from that era. I listened to this non stop all year since it's release in Feburary, never once got tired of it and still haven't.
Favourite track - A Teenager In Love

Bat for Lashes - Two Suns
I liked the first album but this blew the shit out of me. I can't even remember how I got so into this, must have been from hearing Daniel somewhere when it was released on single. Got tickets to see her at the Forum and got listening to the album properly. I love the otherworldly feel about it, the lyrics too. Perfect dream pop, spun it all year long. Show at the Roundhouse was amazing too.
Favourite track - Siren Song.

Beware of Safety - Dogs
Heard this playing in a record shop in Birmingham and had to buy it there and then, I knew I was gonna love it after 10 seconds.
I've seen this described as prog but I never heard it like that. It's post rock but with more emphasis on the rock than the quiet bits. This grew and grew and grew and the power of it still blows me away.
Favourite track - Yards And Yards

A Camp - Colonia
The Mark Linkous produced Debut A Camp album is one of my favourite albums of all time and I was dubious of this after hearing he wasn't on board. This new album seems so far removed from the country tinged first but that was 8 years ago after all. This is leaning more towards The Cardigans most recent work, accomplished, solidly crafted pop. First single Stronger Than Jesus was the first track I heard, and I knew I was going to love it (the video is class too). Lyrically, I feel this is Nina Persson's best work to date.
Favourite track - Love Has Left The Room

Phoenix - Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix
I've liked their previous albums but this is my favourite of theirs to date. I bought this during a big summer spending spree, listened to it once then got caught up listening to tons of other stuff. I went back to it about a month later and couldn't believe I'd neglected it.
Well, well catchy, really warm production, I can't listen to it and sit still.
At 35 minutes it's short, but it's worth it as there's no filler.
Favourite track - 1901 (That moog on 1.16! amazing!)

Hed Kandi - Nu Disco -VA
I used to love the disco heavens years ago then the started going downhill when the fella who run it left and admittidly I'd given up on the label out of boredom. This was right up my street though, 2 discs of future retro. Fred Falke, Alan Braxe, Lifelike...was this actually compiled with me in mind? First discovered Phonat here too. Played to death.
Favourite track - Relation - Your Tiny Mind (Lifelike remix)

Japandroids - Post-Nothing
Bought this after looking at the cover, sometimes you just know don't you. Brilliant fuzzed out pop rock (also with a huge nod to the 90's), it just sounds like 2 geezers fucking enjoying themselves. Great lyrics too -"These girls are all Bikini Kill/We need a ride to Bikini Island"
Favourite track - Young Hearts Spark Fire

LTJ Bukem - Fabriclive
There's been some great drum & bass releases from Fabric the past couple of years (High Contrast, Marcus Intalex) but you listen to this and it can only be LTJ Bukem. The mix is fucking DEEEEP, it's a masterclass. Got lost in this alot on long journeys to the midlands this summer.
Favourite track - Inflated Tear - Villem

Richmond Fontaine - We Used to Think the Freeway Sounded Like a River
Business as usual for My Favourite Band On Earth, and maybe that's why it's not higher. Wonderful panoramic americana again, though Willy goes for a different kind of approach vocally on some tracks, I prefer him in story telling-voice-mode. Didn't stop me listening to it solidly though. Doubt I could ever dislike something they'd produce.
Favourite track - A Letter To The Patron Saint Of Nurses

Converge - Axe To Fall
Ok this is kind of cheating as I only heard it for the first time yesterday but I'm so excited I had to include it. In 2001, Jane Doe changed the way I listened to music and is still in my top 5 albums of all time. Both albums since then didn't come anywhere close so I wasn't exactly rushing to listen to this when it came out. Yesterday though, I heard Dark Horse and it stripped my faaaaaacking face off. Although this album is a lot different (they've turned up the thrash to 11), it's brilliant and a long overdue return to form.
Favourite track - Dark Horse

Other albums I enjoyed this year -

Hanne Hukkelberg - Blood from a Stone - Same as usual, bit more accessible though. Midnight Sun Dream got a LOT of plays. Good artwork too, appeals.

Jonsi & Alex - Riceboy Sleeps - GORGEOUS. Read a lot to this.

Tegan & Sara - Sainthood - Same with Richmond Fontaine, business as usual. Poppier than The Con, but not as good.

Mocky - Saskamodie - Niiiice lounge. Sleepy Time went on a lot of playlists.

The Low Anthem - Oh My God, Charlie Darwin - Was hoping I'd like this more, the pretty tracks are amazing (especially Ticket Taker), upbeat tracks, not so much.

Whispertown 2000 - Swim - I could still get into this deeper, No Dope got the listen-to-it-twenty-times-in-row treatment.

Vitalic - Flashmob
Only really decent electronica album released this year that I liked I think, not been in the mood to listen to it much though. Work in progress.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - It's Blitz
Never been massively into them but Hysteric is one of my favourite tracks of the year.

There's probably albums I've forgotten but whatcha gonna do.

Åsa Jinder
Åsa Rydman

1.How did you get into no.29?
Kaada: He did a collaboration with Mike Patton titled Romances, so when his name showed up as one of the musicians performing in Wrocław, during Era New Horizons festival, I checked out his solo works and liked them. The gig was surprising, but very good. Chatted with him a little after the show, very modest guy. He was very nervous about the sound. But he sounded great.

2. What's the first song you ever heard by no.22?
M83: Probably something from Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts album, Unrecorded or Run Into Flowers. It was during listening to Irrumare's library. But it wasn't until I've heard America that made me listen to the whole album. Heavy stuff, but very ethereal at the same time.

3. Whats your favorite lyric by no.33?
Hanne Hukkelberg: It will be either the sung from the perspective of a bomb, You guessed it - Ticking Bomb or the suicidal story of The Pirate. Can't decide… :-/

4. How did you get into no.49?
The Young Gods: I've read an article in a polish music mag Tylko Rock (Only Rock). It was about industrial. Something like, 20 industrial albums every metalhead should know, and there was T.V. Sky. The fact that they used synths to sound as guitars made me give them a try.

5. How many albums by no.13 do you own?
Björk: None physically. Virtually almost everything she has released.

6. What is your favorite song by no.50?
Vermillion Lies: That's easy - Shady. Makes my heart beat faster, almost like coffee...

7. Is there a song by no.39 that makes you sad?
Cranes: Almost every, but Bewildered is my pick.

8. What is your favorite song by no.15?
Squarepusher: Lately, I think it's Port Rhombus.

9. What is your favorite song by no.5?
Barbara Morgenstern: Nichts muss. Especially the ending...

10. Is there a song by no.6 that makes you happy?
Bat for Lashes: Prescilla. I always do the hand-clapping when I listen to it.

11. What is the worst song by no.40?
Venetian Snares: All of his songs are terrible… ^_^

12. What is your favorite song by no.10?
Nine Inch Nails: Tough choice. I think it's Just Like You Imagined, cause it has so many trademark NIN elements. Other than that, La Mer is great too...

13. What is a good memory you have involving no.30?
Deluka: I don't know, nothing comes to mind. Maybe the fact they commented on my MySpace profile? :-)

14. What is your favorite song by no.38?
The Cure: I won't be original - Lovesong. But I've got good reasons to justify this unoriginal choice...

15. Is there a song by no.19 that makes you happy?
Four Tet: She Moves She sounds like a forthcoming adventure...

16. Is there a song by no.25 that makes you sad?
Ellen Allien: Wish.

17. What is the first song you ever heard by 23?
Einstürzende Neubauten: Zebulon. It was on a promo Mute CD added to Machina (Machine, as You can guess), a polish mag about popculture and stuff.

18. What's your favorite lyric by no.11?
Ladytron: Fighting In Built Up Areas. I don't understand a word from it.

19. Who is a favorite member of no.1?
Plaid: Eh, Andy Turner? Sorry Ed, blame the coin.

20. Is there a song by no.14 that makes you happy?
Clark: Growls Garden. The part where the distorted bass kicks in should be in some Guitar Hero game...

21. What is a good memory involving no.27?
Emily Haines & the Soft Skeleton: No good memories. She only makes me sad.

22. What is your favorite song by no.16?
Portishead: The first one I heard of them, Sour Times. I like their new sound more, butSour Times was first… :-)

23. What is the first song you ever heard by no.47?
Doubting Thomas: Nagual Tone, I think...

24. What is your favorite album by no.18?
Nouvelle Vague: Bande a Part is more consistient, so I'll pick that one, but their debut had better songs.

25. What is your favorite song by no.21?
I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness: If It Was Me.

26. What is the first song you ever heard by no.26?
Crystal Castles: I don't remember, but I disliked it. Foolish me.

27. What is your favorite album by no.3?
The Dresden Dolls: Their debut. Good Day is one of the best album openers.

28. What is you favorite song by no.2?
Suzanne Vega: Private Goes Public. Simple and beautiful. But Caramel is next to it.

29. What was the first song you ever heard by no.32?
The Knife: Like A Pen. I downloaded it, cause I liked the band name. It waitied on my drive about a year til I gave it a listen.

30. What is you favorite song by no.8?
Howling Bells: The Bell Hit may not be their best, but once I listen to it, chances are the whole album will follow. So it brings back memories...

31. How many times have you seen no.17 live?
Loscil: Never.

32. Is there a song by no.44 that makes you happy?
Killing Joke: Love Like Blood is almost an evergreen, isn't it?

33. How did you get into no.12?
Apparat: I saw a vid made by Clusta, that was set to his track Wooden. Instant love.

34. What is the worst song by no.45?
Michael Giacchino: Anything from Lost OST.

35. What was the first song you ever heard by no.34?
Fink: Kamlyn. Heard it on Last.fm. So subtle, but grabs Your attention at once.

36. What was the first song you ever heard by no.48?
Queens of the Stone Age: Feel Good Hit Of The Summer on Viva Zwei. OrThe Lost Art Of Keeping A Secret, can't be sure. The first one irritated me, the second bored me. Foolish me, again.

37. How many times have you seen no.42 live?
Fiona Apple: Unfortunatley, never.

38. What is you favorite song by no.36?
Blonde Redhead: Must be Elephant Woman when I'm down and Equus when I'm full of energy. So I guess it's Elephant Woman... :-/

39. What was the first song you ever heard by no.28?
Skinny Puppy: The live version of Deep Down Trauma Hounds. It was one of the first music I listened to on a CD player, so the sound clarity blew me away... :-)

40. What is you favorite album by no.7?
Depeche Mode: Easy, it's Ultra.

41. Is there a song by no.31 that makes you happy?
Zero 7: Likufanele, although I normally dislike such "sunny" songs.

42. What is your favorite album by no.41?
Miss Kittin: Dub About Me is very sparse in arragment, but powerful. When I'm not into powerful emotions, I just listen to Kiss Factory… ^_^

43. What is your favorite song by no.24?
Psapp: Hill of Our Home. Makes me feel weightless...

44. What is a good memory you have involving no.46?
Kate Bush: Probably karaoke singing of Running Up That Hill...

45. What is your favorite song by no.35?
Shpongle: Falling Awake. I know it's just a sample of guitar slowly fading, but still...

46. Is there a song by no.9 that makes you happy?
Aphex Twin: 4.

47. What is your favorite album by no.4?
Metric: Grow Up And Blow Away. The rest is rather crappy compared to this one.

48. Who is your favorite member of no.37?
Burial: Eh, I can't decide... :-)

49. What is the first song you ever heard by no.43?
The Young Gods: Our House.

50. What is your favorite song by no.20?
Cat Power: Definetly Top Expert...

Update: 12/12/2009

Thu 20 Aug – Pukkelpop 2009

DAG 1

Port O'Brien

Jammergenoeg Tomàn en Bon Iver gemist doordat ik nog op het vliegtuig vanuit portugal zat, dus begon de dag pas bij Port O'Brien. Leuke show zonder meer, geen slecht begin van het festival!

Soap&Skin

Een jong mooi meisje met een piano, een computer en een klok van een stem! Sommige nummers mogen wat meer uitgewerkt worden vind ik, maar ze staat zeker haar mannetje live.

Grizzly Bear

Strak gespeeld, geweldige samenzang en goed publiek, kortom heel erg goed!

DeVotchKa

Fijngevoelige balkanmuziek gecombineerd met acrobates boven het publiek, het werkt! Het hoogtepunt van dag 1.

Beirut

Al zittend gevolgd op het scherm buiten, klonk allemaal niet slecht, maar klonk ook allemaal niet anders dan op plaat...

The Black Angels

Niet slecht, maar wel wat eentonig. Stralen wel übercoolheid uit en toonden dat ook toen ze de security, die enkele mensen die het podium opgekropen waren probeerden te verwijderen, tegenhielden en de feestvierders elk een rammelaar gaven om mee te spelen.

My Bloody Valentine

Ik had hier graag willen schrijven dat dit het hoogtepunt van Pukkelpop 2009 was, maar het tegendeel is waar. My Bloody Valentine speelde véél te luid waardoor alles verloren ging. Ik vraag mij of de organisatie hier niets aan kon doen, als je 30 meter buiten de marquee nog met je handen voor je oren moet zitten, is er echt wel iets mis. Dé grote teleurstelling!


DAG 2

And So I Watch You From Afar

Zeer goeie show, een band die zich volledig geeft en toch super strak speelt, that's how I like it!

A Place to Bury Strangers

Hoe goed deze jongens hun plaat wel mag zijn, live komt het écht niet over. Na een ontzettend verminkte versie van Fix the gash hield ik het dan ook voor bekeken.

Puppetmastaz

Geweldige poppenkastshow gebracht door enkele fantastische rappers. Heel erg leuk!

Buraka Som Sistema

Ik ben niet echt het Dance Hall/Boiler Room type, maar voor Buraka maak ik graag een uitzondering. Stomend feestje!

Bill Callahan

Toch wat vroeger weggegaan bij Buraka voor de frontman van Smog. Slechts een woord is hier op zijn plaats: prachtig! Echt intens van kunnen genieten na het hip hop geweld bij puppetmastaz en buraka.

The Jesus Lizard

Mogen dan nog zo invloedrijk geweest zijn, mij konden ze niet overtuigen, vroegtijdig weg gegaan.

Fever Ray

fantastische podiuminrichting, fantastische kostuums, fantastische band en fantastische zangeres, kortom fantastisch!

Kraftwerk

Eerste en enige bezoekje aan de toch wel vrij zwak geprogrammeerde Main Stage dit jaar. Nogal een groot deja-vu gevoel, maar kraftwerk blijft leuk.


DAG 3

Deerhunter

Blonken uit in matigheid, niet echt slecht, maar ook niets speciaals.

Hanne Hukkelberg

Groeide naarmate het concert vorderde. Wederom niet echt zeer speciaal, maar wel van kunnen genieten.

Fennesz

Languit liggend intens kunnen genieten van de soundscapes van Fennesz. De man had er jammergenoeg na een half uur al genoeg van, van mij had hij gerust nog enkele uurtjes mogen doorgaan.

Klaxons

Minder hyperactief dan verwacht, maar wel heel erg strak gespeeld. Goede show.

Tortoise

De enige naam van dag 3 die ik echt niet wou missen en lostten de verwachting ook in. Technisch perfecte show!



Beste optredens:

1. Devotchka
2. Fever Ray
3. Bill Callahan
4. and so I watch you from afar
5. Tortoise/Grizzly Bear
