Best Albums of 2009

I just realised how unbelievably long it is since I last wrote on here and am disgusted by this. New Years resolution is most definitely to be more efficient and put more stuff up here. Anyway, thought I'd do a quick run down of my favourite albums of 2009. There may well be a couple I've missed, such as AA Bondy's 'When The Devil's Loose' and The Low Anthem's 'Oh My God Charlie Darwin' but that's because I only came upon albums such as these two too late on in the year, so I'll write about them some other time in 2010. Soon I promise. In the meantime here are the ten albums that did make the cut.

1. Deer Tick - Born On Flag Day


Deer Tick - Smith Hill


2. Langhorne Slim - Be Set Free


Langhorne Slim - Back to the Wild


3. Chris Garneau - El Radio


Chris Garneau - Fireflies


4. William Elliott Whitmore - Animals in the Dark


William Elliott Whitmore - Hell or High Water


5. Phosphorescent - To Willie


Phosphorescent - Reasons To Quit


6. Mumford and Sons - Sigh No More


There was a link to a Mumford & Sons song here, but the bastards that work in the music industry made me take it down.


7. Roadside Graves - My Son's Home


Roadside Graves - Ruby


8. Bombadil - Tarpits and Canyonlands


Bombadil - Reasons


9. Justin Townes Earle - Midnight at the Movies


Justin Townes Earle - Mama's Eyes
