Earth - The Bees Made Honey In The Lions Skull

Album: The Bees Made Honey In The Lions Skull

Year: 2008

An epic piece of work. This album basically contains an atmospheric ambiance with a heavy hint of blues, here you will hear epic songs that have riffs repeating and repeating until they're driven through the ground with huge layers of reverb and echo. this feels like walking in deserted streets alone at 3 AM. this just needs to be heard rather than discussed.

Tracklist:
1. Omens and Portents I: The Driver
2. Rise to Glory
3. Miami Morning Coming Down II (Shine)
4. Engine of Ruin
5. Omens and Portents II: Carrion Crow
6. Hung from the Moon
7. The Bee Made Honey in the Lion's Skull

The Bad Plus - For All I Care

Album: For All I Care

Year: 2008

a glorious effort in the name of all that is new and progressive. this album is unbelievably addictive because all of the revamped covers on it (pink floyd, the flaming lips, wilco) played them with nothing less than a set of drums, a stand-up bass and a piano, all put to unconventional use. For the first time progressive jazz trio "the bad plus" enlist the aid of a female vocalist, making their music much more accessible and approachable. I was very excited about this, and I still am. These guys are just FUCKING genius.

Tracklist:
1. Lithium
2. Comfortably Numb
3. Fém (Etude No. 8)
4. Radio Cure
5. Long Distance Runaround
6. Semi-Simple Variations
7. How Deep Is Your Love
8. Barracuda
9. Lock, Stock and Teardrops
10. Variation d'Apollon
11. Feeling Yourself Disintegrate
12. Semi-Simple Variations [Alternate Version]

Sun Kil Moon - April

Album: April

Year: 2008

An album that can be nowhere other than on repeat, an extremely beautiful piece of music speaks for itself. the usual helping of Mark Kozeleks dreamy acoustics and warm electric guitars that sound like dancing stars in the night is at its best here, with a bittersweet melancholic tone throughout, this makes the album one of the best ive heard all year.

Tracklist:
1. Lost Verses
2. The Light
3. Lucky Man
4. Unlit Hallway
5. Heron Blue
6. Moorestown
7. Harper Road
8. Tonight the Sky
9. Like the River
10. Tonight in Bilbao
11. Blue Orchids
