DNAK 2010 – 30 Best Tracks of The Year

Heavy guitar reverb and glaserei-glaser.at cipro ambient sounds underlie Bradford Cox’s spare vocals on this emotional track from the Atlanta quartet.

Promising new group from Southern California gives us breezy indie pop, bringing comparisons to The Shins. I also love their track “Truth Sets In”, but this one made the viagra vs kamagra list for the awesome lyric “your lips are like little pieces of bacon”.

Dark, precise, and entrancing electronica from Daniel Victor Snaith, a UK-based Canadian composer and mathematician.

Seattle’s Chris Mansfield (aka Fences) is going to be huge. He has several standout tracks from his impressive debut album (produced by Sara of Tegan & Sara), but this is my favorite track. Also, definitely check out the beautiful melancholy of his live performance of “The Same Tattoos”.

This track reminded me that frontman James Murphy has real singing chops. Check out this live televised performance to see for yourself.

Stunning track from this group out of the Basque region of Spain. They bring a sound full of hazy synth over a driving club/house beat on an album full of strong tracks.

I’ve said before that Mumford and Sons breaks my rule for the amount of banjo allowed. Yet this song reached number four on my list. This London underground folk rock band hit it out of the park with this one.

Suburbs is definiitely one of my favorite releases of the year and is strong top to bottom while successfully managing to carry a thread through athe entire track list. I love this track because it features Régine Chassagne, who I vividly remember joyously twirling around the stage with streamers during the live performance I saw in Seattle. Below is a wonderful fan made video highlighting the studio track, but you can also see the buy cheapest glucophage online viltieslinija.lt live performance they did at Madison Square Garden.

Odd Blood is definitely one of my favorite albums of the year, and the tracks “Madder Red” and “Ambling Alp” easily could be on this list as well. I was a fan of their debut LP All Hour Cymbals and was blown away by their followup. There’s also a great live performance on YouTube.

Zebra was the first track I chose in 2010 for one of my playlists, and it also is my most played track of the year. This Baltimore duo has had a dream release with Teen Dream on Sub-pop with songs full of minimalist yet shimmering arrangements featuring Victoria Legrand’s suprisingly deep vocals. Make sure you treat yourself to the famed PS22 chorus covering the track.
