And the counting down continues...
5. FUN. - AIM AND IGNITE
The new project from ex-Format singer Nate Ruess and members of Steel Train and Anthallo mix indie pop flavor of The Format with folk sound and take it to a summer carnival sideshow event with lights and animals, you get what fun. is all about.
4. THE RAVEONETTES - IN AND OUT OF CONTROL
I heard the first note of this album and I was hooked. The Danish duo has the most amazing two-part harmonies and I love the sheer amount of noise they make. The melodies coupled with dark lyrics leave me wanting to hear more.
3. THE UNDESERVING
Techincally speaking, The Undeserving haven't released their album yet. Why is it on the 2009 list then? I heard these guys live back in January and I found myself loving every note they played. I can't mention 2009 in music without mentioning them. Most of their songs are up on their Myspace page and hopefully they will have a physical release very soon.
2. PETE YORN AND SCARLETT JOHANSSON - BREAK UP
Honestly, I always hated Scarlett Johansson's voice. I found it grating and annoying. I was also disappointed with Yorn's solo release this year too. But thankfully, both of these problems were solved with their collaboration album "Break Up," which is nothing less than amazing. The two of them together sound beautiful.
1. PASSENGER - WIDE EYES BLIND LOVE
I didn't think Passenger could top last year's "Wicked Man's Rest." But with the release of "Wide Eyes Blind Love," they come pretty close. Their sophomore release is a simplistic, all acoustic album full of songs about love, regret, hope and suffering. The album has been on repeat for the past two months and I'm still not sick on it.
