We've reached the end of our Best Albums of 2009 countdown. Still, it's also worth noting the top 10 albums that unfortunately did not make it to our list. All of these efforts were of a high quality, yet just barely missed, so to end off our year here at Animal Noises, please feel free to peruse the list below. We hope everyone has a happy new year, and we'll see you in 2010.
Yes, it's that time of the year again. Just as we did at the end of 2008, all of Animal Noises' coverage in December will be about the best music of the past year-- plus, we'll also be touching on best-of-decade material as well. Along with a day-by-day countdown of the top 30 albums of 2009 (which starts tomorrow, by the way), we'll be rolling out lists like this one, at 10 items per day. So stay tuned all December. It's going to get pretty busy around here.
Saw this over the weekend, but figured it'd be a good way to lead off our weekly batch of content. For those who don't know, Iran is TV on the Radio's Kyp Malone and The Mendoza Line's Peter Hoffman, along with Aaron Romanello and Aaron Ites. The project has been in existence since 2000, but this year's release, Dissolver, is their first since 2002-- quite a stretch. However, the guys are not worse for the time off, but rather, are refreshed and refined, giving us one of the noisier albums of the year. If you're interested in the band's old or new material, I'd recommend heading over to Daytrotter for a few mp3s from their collection. Along with "Can I Feel What?" and "Airport '79" from Dissolver, also included are "We Could Go Away For Awhile" and "4-Armed Star" from 2002's The Moon Boys.
