25 for 2009: Two
Album #2: Primary Colours by The Horrors
If you had told me at the beginning of the year that The Horrors would release a record that I would want to listen to more than once I wouldn’t have believed you. So the fact that they released a record that I listened to a lot is, well, shocking. And #2? Unbelievable. But here it is. Primary Colours isn’t particularly original sounding (it sounds like every cool 80s new wave/shoegaze band in a blender) and its lyrics aren’t spectacular. But the songs (all of them) are great. So here it is. I don’t understand it. But I loved this record this year.

Song #2: 1901 by Phoenix
Before it soundtracked car commercials I heard this for the first time and I was blown away. And you know what? It still sounds effin awesome. Even in car commercials.
