Animal Collective – Centipede Hz
Animal Collective’s ninth album is a diverse affair.
Indie Pop
The xx – xx
The nocturnal pop of The xx is impossibly unique, yet quiet and low-key at the same time.
Grizzly Bear – Veckatimest
Grizzly Bear’s ornate Veckatimest was the second highest rated of 2009.
Animal Collective – Merriweather Post Pavilion
The most-hyped record of Animal Collective’s career sees the experimental group trading guitars for a more sample-based approach.
Animal Collective – Strawberry Jam
Animal Collective’s seventh album is their best yet.
Grizzly Bear – Yellow House
Grizzly Bear’s second album sees Edward Droste transcending the work of his bedroom project.
Animal Collective – Feels
The great achievement of Feels is that it throws everything at every track yet never loses sight of the tunes themselves.
