This is a taste of the new music that I liked this year. Not exhaustive but a good indication of what I found interesting. Have to say this was probably the year I've spent the most time listening to pop music.
Neko Case's new album, The Worse Things Get, The Harder I Fight, The Harder I Fight, The More I Love You, is my favourite since Furnace Room. Got the vinyl with extra disc (and cool art on Side Four). Couldn't pick just one song so I went with her cool Halloween Tiny Desk Concert performance.
This album is so interesting. I couldn't get enough of the first four tracks, especially this single (and video is good as well). I don't know if every track works but the singles are killer.
Oh Miley... This song is good. I like this parody video better than the real one. Put aside all the ridiculous media conversations, Miley's singles are pretty good.
Haven't listen to the entire album, but this song got stuck in my head for a while. Wish I had more critical things to say.
Yeezus. While I don't think it will go down as Kanye's best, it's a hell of a creative statement. I like Bound 2 as the closer but it doesn't work for me as a single. You need all the crazy industrial beat inspired songs that come before it. I always enjoy Kanye's SNL performance, especially when they don't go totally as planned.
