Back from rehab, here are my Top Drops from a fairly fruitful March:
Panda Bear, Person Pitch – This is really growing on me. The clammering 60′s soundscape genre may well become a new territory for permanent exploration in 2008. I don’t know if I will find too many artists better than Panda Bear however. Maybe I should just Take Pills.
Bon Iver, For Emma, Forever Ago – It doesn’t hurt to have an amazing, gut-wrenching story to help further your bid for melancholic genius. Perfect for a spring day that calls for snow (thank you, irregular weather patterns across England!)
Jay Z, American Gangster – A growing Jay z obsession?! Maybe. I think I really appreciate ’70s soul samples and Lil Wayne on his grimiest game. Say goodbye to Katrina, Hello Brooklyn!
