Best of 2009 countdown #12
#11 Stay tuned...
#12: MAXWELL "BLACKsummers'night" Sometimes you just need some Smoove B style R&B to get you in the mood.
#13: SILVERSUN PICKUPS "Swoon" Yeah they sound like the Smashing Pumpkins, but that's a compliment.
#14: KID CUDI "Man on the Moon" Impeach Kanye! And make Cudi hip-hop's new president.
#15: JULIE PEEL If you like moody indie folk (i.e. Cat Power) you'll love Peel's debut album "Near The Sun."
#16: VOLCANO CHOIR "Unmap" - Bon Iver side project that's more ambient, equally as haunting.
#17 TORTOISE "Beacons of Ancestorship" The all-star collective takes instrumental post-rock to another level, once again.
#18 HONEY CLAWS Electro hip-hop with an emcee who sounds like Q-tip but he's a white boy from Austin.
#19: IRON WINE "Around The Well" If you're into sensitive beard rock for hipsters, check out Sam Beam's double disc of rarities.
#20: JAMES YUILL "Turning Down Water For Air" The best folktronica album of the year, if there is such a category.
