The Best Al***s Of 2009 You May Not Have Heard, Maybe?

Very interesting. I might check a lot of these out.

I can recommend The Low Anthem - played that one a lot and really like Blue Roses ( a little bit of a Kate Bush/folk feel to it) as well.

I am going to check out McAlmont and Nyman.

I recommend Bitte Orca by Dirty Projectors. It's a strange, messy ragbag of an album that somehow works. Were I to compile a top ten albums of 2009, this would be my token rock/pop entry.

One that seemed to miss all the 'Best Of' lists, and indeed all the reviews and hype when released was The Lightning Seeds 'Four Winds'. Not outstanding but Ian Broudie still has a whole heap of good tunes.

I agree re The Low Anthem too.

Not for me. Did not like his vocals.

A few to check out for me.
