10Shout Out Out Out Out, Not Saying/Just
Saying
“A taut structure of dance, Krautrock, disco
and punk, with the heart to outlast most pan-flashing acts
attempting to cling to the same loosely bound
skeleton.”

- -CokeMachineGlow
Review

9Portastatic, Be Still
Please
“...this is an album the lucky few who hear it
will embrace like an old friend. Like an old friend who keeps
getting more interesting as time goes on, who makes some
positive changes to an already rock-solid
friendship.”

Music Review

8The
Decemberists, The Crane Wife

“The songs brim with melodic ideas, but the album never
overwhelms, because Meloy doesn't try to pack every minute
with words and hooks. The songs tend to be peppy,
guitar-driven, and spacious, and as easy as cracking an
egg.”

- - The
Onion A.V. Club
Review

7Brazilian Girls, Talk To La
Bomb
“...it has, in one fell swoop, dismissed any
doubts about the band’s legitimacy, while offering a nearly
solid 12 tracks of sex, rhythms and
mystery.”

- -Pop
Matters Review

6Wet
Confetti, Laughing Gasping
“For a while, it seemed
as though synth-pop had escaped indie rock, as more and more
kids jumped on the post-punk/disco wagon. Not Wet Confetti,
though.”

- -XLR8R
Review

5Squarepusher, Hello
Everything
“Dazzling chord progressions override
fiendishly intricate beats as Jenkinson combines the elation
of rave with the complexity of
jazz.”

- -Guardian
UK Review

4Tara
Jane O’Neil, In Circles
“Like the houses in which
the album is set, this work is, of course, manmade, but is
touched so lightly by the singer’s hand as to sound purely
organic, found to occur naturally in the rural American
landscape.”

- -Stylus
Review

3Pit Er
Pat,
Pyramids

“Pyramids is a superb effort from a promising and
still mutating band – one with plenty of time to find a
balance between quirk and
quality.”

- -Alarm
Press
Review

2Mochipet, Disco
Donkey

“From weird techno to insane electronica, the nine tracks
and 4 remixes of this "Disco Donkey" are quite a booty shaking
experience, and all with a
smile.”

- -Ad
Noiseam Review

1The
Blow, Paper
Television

“...a delightful mix of quirky vocals and catchy electronic
beats. Khaela Marichich's vocals are charming in the way of
earnest, guileless karaoke – tuneful and deeply felt, but
light and amateurish in
texture.”

- -Dusted
