Best albums of 2009

Now the year 2009 is 13 days behind us, I decided to make a "best of 2009" list. Here are my favorite albums I encountered in 2009. And some of them actually got released in 2009.

PPP - "Abundance"
This album is different from their last one. More soul and R&B than hip-hop. Sticky and heavy Detroit sound.


Elvis Perkins in Dearland - "Elvis Perkins in Dearland"
There are a few songs in here that I just couldn't stop humming. The songs are really not about happy things, but thet are catchy. The album is like a summer fling; you want nothing but for a while and then all of the sudden you just stop, but you don't regret it at all.

Orgone - Bacano
Unlike Elvis Perkins' album, this one is more of a keeper. Something you can come back to.

Sa-Ra Creative Partners - "The Hollywood Recordings" and "Nuclear Evolution: The Age of Love"
Hip and funky. And what more do you need out of your music really?

Dj Magic Mike - "Cheetah's Bassest Hit"
Hip and funky 90s' (80s'?) style. I wouldn't claim to like hip hop if I didn't like this album.

Mayer Hawthorne - "A Strange Arrangement"
Truly old school retro crooner of an album. I guess some good things are hard to kill.


Incredible Bongo Band - "Bongo Rock"
They can rock. They are funky. And play the bongo. Other than that, I really don't know how to describe their music.

Tussle - "Telescope Mind"
This is really a mix between disco, electronica, and rock. The description sounds like an album you should avoid, and when I told a friend about it he said "oh..., no." But it's really good.


Tell us your favorite of 2009!
