Dear Science,
TV on the Radio
DGC/Interscope, 2008
If there is no quiet, there can be no loud.
I really like these songs, but the mastering is completely brick walled, so there is no dynamic range what-so-ever. This makes an otherwise great CD unlistenable. Shame.

Narrow Stairs
Death Cab for Cutie
Atlantic, 2008
Very unique band
+ Worth the buy
+ Made for Me (and you)
This band is unique. This isn't music I would blast in my car because most people would think I'm gay, but I enjoy it a lot. It's a guilty pleasure. This band is talented and this is a great album.

High Places
Thrill Jockey, 2008
Highs and Lows
Melodic and poppy sister to "Person Pitch"--gauzy, unpretentious, tribalistic echoing reverb--not quite as accomplished as Panda Bear's surprise masterpiece, but indebted to it; breezy, pretty, and fun. Not quite an album per se, but a small collection of singles, several of which were released ...
