Slowdive - 'Pygmalion'





Slowdive - 'Pygmalion'

Recommended to me by fiveightforums.com i can't believe it took me this long to hear this album. On my first listen it captivated my attention enough to spin this number of times before being finished. The repetition in guitar, vocals and ambience create a dream like sound that you can almost taste it, not to mention Rachel Goswel's vocals which simply destroy me. Fantastic.

Hammock - 'Maybe They Will Sing For Us Tomorrow'



Hammock - 'Maybe They Will sing For Us Tomorrow'

Lets start this off with my favorite album from 2008. 'Maybe They Will Sing For Us Tomorrow' opens with two of the very best ambient peices that i've ever heard, 'Gold Star Mothers' and 'City in the Dust on my Window' both displaying pure devestation and pure beauty. This beautiful album has stripped me to my bare minimum countless times and stands against no other for 2008. I own this on CD and the artwork is just as beautiful, highly recommended!
