Ben Hendricks – Vocalist, guitarist for Annabel and SAL contributor
Check out Annabel’s Each And Everyone which came out on Count Your Lucky Stars earlier this year. One of my favorites of 2009…hint hint.
1. Kings of Convenience – Declaration of Dependence
2. Mew – No More Stories…
3. The Pains of Being Pure at Heart – The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart
4. Delay – Plain Language
5. Lymbyc Systym – Shutter Release
6. The Antlers – Hospice
7. Superchunk – Leaves in the Gutter
8. Japandroids – Post-Nothing
9. The Twilight Sad – Forget The Night Ahead
10. Do Make Say Think – The Other Truths
Good list…I don’t understand Japandroids though.
Japandroids for some reason remind me of Hum. The huge distorted chords mixed with the clean channel just take me back a couple years. To be honest though, I felt the year on the whole was pretty limited. But as with most years, I’m sure I’ll find all the real gems about half way through next year.
