Flick: favorite albums of 2007
10. Rosie Thomas – These Friends of Mine
Just as the title portrays, you feel as though you’re sitting in the studio with Rosie.
9. Seabear – The Ghost that Carried Us Away
This album makes me miss Iceland, though I’ve never been.
8. Taxi Taxi! – Taxi Taxi!
I could sit and listen to these Swedish twins sing all day.
7. Radiohead – In Rainbows
Not only did this album stir the industry up, these songs will be favorites for a long time.
6. Shout Out Louds – Our Ill Wills
Our Ill Wills struck me as an album I had heard before, yet never had.
5. The Innocence Mission – We Walked In Song
The Innocence Mission has a way of grabbing my emotions like no other band.
4. Blonde Redhead – 23
Phenomenal album. It felt like a chemical addiction and I kept sneaking spins.
3. The Forms – The Forms
Twelve songs, each under four minutes, and I find myself listening to them several times on repeat.
2. Pela – Anytown Graffiti
My friends will attest that I asked them if they had heard Pela yet, and made sure they had.
1. Twilight Sad – Fourteen Autumns, Fifteen Winters
Maybe it’s the thick Scottish accent, the shoegaze distortion, and lyrics that plot out like a well written film, but this album continues to amaze me.
