A list of the best music of 2010. Like last year I dont pay attention to release dates and list the music I’ve enjoyed the most in the last 12 months (two of them are actually from 2010).
The National – High Violet
Ulver – Shadows Of The Sun
Svartbag – Svartbag
Mimicking Birds – Mimicking Birds
Angelo Badalamenti – Twin Peaks
F***ed up title, I know. But it’s actually my best attempt to describe what the Norwegian band Ulver is doing.
First a black metal band, then an electronica act, then noise/glitch geeks, then sound track composers and now a full blown music freak show. Avantgarde? You bet. And cool as hell (not a great metaphor, to be honest, but it fits). Ulver plays tomorrow night in Aarhus at Voxhall – and I’ll be there enjoying every minute.
