What is it that makes us want to deconstruct art by units of time? Lists. We love making them. We love arguing over them. And here, on the verge of a new decade, we’re in a position to do the same again. What were the best albums of the past ten years? Here at AD, [...]
You’d be hard pressed to find many 60s psych enthusiasts that dislike J.K. & Co.’s Suddenly One Summer; incidentally the only album the group ever released. Recorded in 1968, leader Jay Kaye was only 15 at the time, and for someone so inexperienced in the studio, the lyrics, vocals and musicianship are remarkably advanced. Traveling [...]

Phoenix remixes continue to flood the Internet, obviously with varying results, but pretty impressive on the whole. The latest addition is the Soft Pack’s take on “Fences“, which, not surprisingly, also happens to be my favorite of the remixes released thus far. Hit up GvB for additional rendering, notably “Rome” (Neighbors remix with Devendra Banhart). [...]
I’m bothered by records whose alternation of sound between tracks renders it unlistenable in a single sitting. A good flow between songs, even if one is a rock opus and the next a gentle ballad, is not only conducive to an overall enjoyable listen – it’s a prerequisite for the construction of a great record.
