The big winners for 2009 were Phoenix and oddly enough, Aimee Mann. It’s pretty uncharacteristic, but since Thanksgiving I’ve been listening to Mann’s @#%& Smilers (2008) basically exclusively save for a few excursions into the Yeah Yeah Yeahs (It’s Blitz) and my 2009 mainstay, Phoenix (Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix). I was pretty disappointed with Zero 7′s latest release (Yeah Ghost) and didn’t find anything I couldn’t live without on Royksopp’s Junior but I did discover a new love for Regina Spektor (Far) and Bibio (Ambivalence Avenue). The Bird and the Bee (Ray Guns Are Not Just the Future) and Imogen Heap (Ellipse) both put out decent follow up albums and U2 (No Line on the Horizon) lost whatever remaining charm they had (not much). Cut Copy’s 2008 album In Ghost Colours and their most excellent mixtape So Cosmic remained my gym-time music favorites. First up in 2010: Laura Veirs’ new album July Flame, which might just have enough indie folk musicality to break me out of my rut.
