#25 - #21
25. Yeasayer - Odd Blood
//Country: USA
//Favorite tracks: Ambling Alp, Madder Red
In the beginning of 2010, Yeasayer returned. Still experimental and weird, yet more accessible than before. This is one of my favorite videos of this year, and it gives anyone new to Yeasayer a good indication of how wonderfully strange Odd Blood is:
24. Best Coast - Crazy For You
//Country: USA
//Favorite tracks: Boyfriend, Crazy For You, Each And Everyday
Bittersweet indie pop about the female vocalist's heartaches - this debut album naturally appealed a lot to me, being a big fan of Camera Obscura (who released one of my favorite albums of 2009). But while being thematically close sometimes, Best Coast goes for a rough and fast-paced surf-rock sound, miles away from Camera Obscura's slow twee. This is simple, straightforward but magical pop music, and hard to dislike.
