Album del 2010: I 50 must-have
1. KANYE WEST – My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
Benvenuti negli anni Dieci.
2. ARIEL PINK’S HAUNTED GRAFFITI – Before Today
Quello che Neon Indian rappresentava per gli anni 80, Ariel lo ripropone per il pop psichedelico di un decennio prima. Con additivi kitsch e funky che non guastano
3. SUFJAN STEVENS – The Age Of Adz
The Age Of Adz : Sufjan Stevens = Kid A : Radiohead
4. DEERHUNTER – Halcyon Digest
Bradford Cox e soci fanno sul serio. Al netto di creatività, droga e Factory, si candidano a Velvet Underground dei nostri tempi.
5. LCD SOUNDSYSTEM – This Is Happening
Quando si inizierà a insegnare gli LCD nelle scuole?
6. BEACH HOUSE – Teen Dream
Fiochi intermittenti bagliori in solitarie riprese notturne tra Baltimora e Norvegia.
7. TAME IMPALA – Innerspeaker
In Australia si prova a rinverdire la Summer Love tra psichedelia e Beatles post-65. Eppure suona tutto così attuale.
8. NO AGE – Everything In Between
Hardcore-punk onirico non è più un ossimoro.
9. THE NATIONAL – High Violet
Senza di loro forse le foglie nemmeno cadrebbero.
10. CARIBOU – Swim
Quel nerd di Snaith a differenza nostra ha capito tutto della vita.
11. BEST COAST – Crazy For You
La strana coppia: una demente e un metallaro per un miracolo di pop rumoroso e caramelloso da sussidiario della West Coast.
12. TWIN SHADOW – Forget
Sembravamo esserci sbarazzati degli anni ’80. Un dominicano baffone trapiantato a Brooklyn smentisce tutto.
13. SURFER BLOOD – Astro Coast
I Dinosaur Jr incontrano i Weezer in Florida per un tributo ai Pavement. Ed è festa.
14. TITUS ANDRONICUS – The Monitor
Un concept sulla guerra civile americana partorito da hipster punkettoni andrebbe evitato come la peste. E invece no.
15. SLEIGH BELLS – Treats
Meno strana coppia e meno derivativi dei Best Coast. I loro suoni sono orribili, a tratti insostenibili, ma una voce stupida tra M.I.A. e anime è la sublimazione dal retrogusto pop di certi frastuoni d’annata.
16. RADIO DEPT – Clinging To A Scheme
Anche gli svedesi a modo loro hanno un’estate.
17. HOT CHIP – One Life
Il manuale del cazzeggio da dancefloor.
18. WILD NOTHING – Gemini
La C86 che manda i Radio Dept in spiaggia.
19. WAVVES – King Of The Beach
Il fattissimo ripetente shit-gaze finalmente passa l’esame decisivo.
20. GORILLAZ – Plastic Beach
Anche questa volta gli special guest caricano di fascino l’ineffabile dimensione-Gorillaz.
21. ARCADE FIRE – The Suburbs
22. FOUR TET – There Is Love In You
23. FLYING LOTUS – Cosmogramma
24. JANELLE MONAE ArchAndroid
25. HOW TO DRESS WELL – Love Remains
