THE BEST RECORDS OF 2013


Reviews for all the records below can be found over the last 12 months in my blog archives.

ADRIAN YOUNGE PRESENTS THE DELFONICS – Producer Younge’s painstaking recreation of the 70’s Philly soul sound bringing back two of the original Delfonics. Just a beautiful record and my favourite album that I heard this year.

AM – Arctic Monkeys – The record Alex Turner co. should have made after their second album.  Sounds like adult monkeys. Not a bad song here.

DON’T FORGET WHO YOU ARE -Miles Kane – Pure Britpop nostalgia. Short punchy songs.  Working with great collaborators such as Paul Weller and Andy Partridge.

ARC -Everything Everything – Expands their music, slows it down, less frenzied than the debut, great vocals.

BITTER RIVALS – Sleigh Bells – Keeps their highly original sound intact while adding some instrumental diversity.  Very enjoyable.

II - Unknown Mortal Orchestra
LOST SIRENS - New Order
HEARTS AND KNIVES - Visage
BLOODSPORTS - Suede
HESITATION MARKS - Nine Inch Nails
OUT OF VIEW – History of Apple Pie
STRANGE PLEASURES – Still Corners
GRACELESS - Sulk
SUPER DE LUXE - Attic Lights
MBV – My Bloody Valentine
IDIOTS – Electric Soft Parade
THE NEW LIFE – Girls Life
ORES AND MINERALS -Mazes
HONKY TONK – Son Volt
ROCK AND ROLL ANIMALS – Luke Haines
NEW – Paul McCartney
WISE UP GHOST - Elvis Costello and The Roots
CRIMSON/RED – Prefab Sprout
CHANGE BECOMES US - Wire
ELECTRIC - Richard Thompson
