Do cats know it's Halloween? Mine are pretty chill right now and can't be bothered to put on a costume. In any case, what music (song, album, or band in general) sets the mood for you for this holiday and I think Michael Jackson's "Thriller" is already the given obvious one.


For my pick, there was a single made for charity-UNICEF a charity single for UNICEF featuring Beck, members of The Arcade Fire, The Postal Service, R.E.M and more a few years back with an uber creepy video to match. I get it stuck in my head like clockwork around Halloween:

Congratulations MGMT, even though you managed to make one of my favorite albums of 2010 and put on one of my favorite live shows, you still consistently choose album art that makes me think of the worst kind of hipster trash. This cover literally makes me want to wretch. Its colors are putrid pseudo neon and its drawing of a cartoon character surfing is just about the most repulsively dumb thing I can think of. Dudes, next cover should totally be done by Lisa Frank. Sad face.

Ok, your turn now BUT this has to be an album you actually own. To be honest, Cocorosie's newest album, Grey Oceans, has an even worse cover (on CD) ..but I couldn't bring myself to buy it because it made me so hysterical and nauseous at the same time every time I'd see in a record store.

P.S. Spooky cat really hates this album cover too...though, that should be fairly obvious from his expression.

Here's your chance to promote who you think is the most talented musician in your city. Let's face it...it's quite difficult to keep up with bands these days but I think we can all agree that there is so much talent out there. The Metropolitan areas or larger cities may have more music overall but I'm still convinced there are probably some great musicians in small towns that are amazing.

For me, Helen Money is always astounding. She reaches me on a completely visceral deep feeling level that just floors me. You haven't seen too many photos of her on this stream because she tends to play in darkness and she's one of those musicians I hate to click my shutter during their performance. No vocals here-just probably the greatest cellist I've ever seen/heard. She's been acknowledged by some pretty well known bands and has made guest appearances on albums and live, most recently with Broken Social Scene at Pfork,

www.myspace.com/helenmoney

Some others in Chicago (Andrew Bird excluded as he's more well known and also, dude moved to LA? What?)

People will say I'm biased by Cinchel really writes some amazing ambient stuff (he also clicks all of these shots afer I do the camera settings). I'm spoiled because I get to hear him play live in the same room as me all of the time but I think it really is quite great:

cinchel.com/wp/category/cinchel_music/

Brendan Losch has put out some astoundingly great mellow folk songs and it's always a treat to hear him play live or listen to new recordings. Very talented and also quite modest guy!

www.myspace.com/brendanlosch

Quite recent work with full band Bullets in Madison:

bulletsinmadison.bandcamp.com/

The Ponys put on an especially phenomenal live show...great garage rock band:

www.myspace.com/theponys

Speck Mountain has this gorgeous psych folk sound...so lush and thick. Perfect for fans of Mazzy Star. Highly recommended!!!

www.myspace.com/speckmountain

If electronic pop with shoegaze elements is more your thing, check out Rosen Association:

www.myspace.com/therosenassociation

The 1900s are perfect for fans of Fleetwood Mac and 60s pop and Dr. Pirate is actually Ed Anderson's old cat!

www.myspace.com/1900s

Hollows are perfect if you're looking for more indie garage rock...so much fun! They somewhat recently opened for She and Him at Millennium Park and my guess is they probably blew them right off the stage. Such a great all girl group:

www.myspace.com/hollowschicago

CoCoComa is another garage band that are so catchy and full of energy!

www.myspace.com/cococoma

For more indie alternative fare, check out Soft Speaker:

www.myspace.com/softspeaker

For more experimental and challenging music: Spires that in the Sunset Rise!

www.myspace.com/spiresthatinthesunsetrise

For great folk: Rock Falls:

www.myspace.com/rockfalls

Doleful Lions is one of those criminally underlooked bands (with Jonathan Scot being one of the most amazing composers of great indie songs out there):

www.myspace.com/dolefullions

Secret Colours play some great psychedelic music, if that is your thing (it definitely is mine) I haven't seen them live yet but when Paula K. told me about them, I listened and was really impressed:

secretcolours.bandcamp.com/album/secret-colours

Mucca Pazza is always such a real treat to see, especially in a live setting. They are Chicago's most well known and definitely largest marching band and it is always a real experience seeing them play!

www.myspace.com/muccapazza

I've posted a photo of Angel Olsen somewhat recently. She has a very disarming folk sense to her..her voice seems removed from all space and time in particular. She was most recently seen singing backup vocals to Will Oldham at the Bonnie Prince Billy shows.

Ok. I hope I didn't forget anyone important but I bet I did (feel free to remind me) We're a little spoiled in Chicago. I can't wait to discover some of your picks!

1. Fanfarlo (Sweden,London): Reservoir

I hoped like mad these guys would come to Chicago after hearing their fantastic album. The group is so dynamic with each member playing such an instrumental role on stage and on the album. The songs are both complex and catchy live and on their recording. In other words, they aren’t ruined by too much added to them. It works the way a band of their size should work, emphasizing all the right kinds of melodies and memorable chords. This album clicked with me immediately but I can see it also being a grower for some. It’s warm and sing songy in a way that makes it very accessible. At the same time, the more you listen to each song, the greater you sense their heartfelt appeal and long to hear them for repeat listens. The album is also solid in a way where each moment seems quite magical and never dull even when it’s not the catchiest part of the song, it still feels essential in a way. Truly an accomplished work here!

2. The Veils (NZ,London): Sun Gangs

Finn Andrews has the ability to be so emotionally labile it’s awe striking in it’s incredibility. Take the edginess of “The Letter” and “Three Sisters” here and contrast it with the sad lullaby of “Larkspur” for instance. Always engaging in both his stage presence and his albums, Andrews has a passionate way of writing songs in a way that makes you feel he was born to create them, as if he has lyrics instead of oxygen filling up his bloodstream. The Veils are the kind of band that, once you discover them, can truly change your life.

3. Rural Alberta Advantage or RAA (Canada): Hometowns

I feel like this album may not technically qualify as a 2009 release. It was definitely released in 2008 originally in Canada and was re-released this year on Saddle Creek records. In any case, I’m a little embarrassed to say I hadn’t heard this album until 2009. I had heard of the band early in the spring and have not been disappointed in seeing them live twice this year. The songs really feel like intriguing personal stories from lead singer Nils Edenloff. There’s a very Neutral Milk Hotel essence to Edenloff’s voice and a few times songs hit on a twinge of the catchy urgency that characterizes The Arcade Fire’s songs. Mainly, however, there’s a real sense of rich human story and sincerity here that wholly completes the album.

4. Pains of Being Pure at Heart (American) (self-titled)

It’s ok, friends, we don’t have to invent a new genre of music every other minute. Sometimes, it’s just so ultimately reassuring to have the genres we have brought to their best. I found out about Pains of Being Pure at Heart in the early spring just when the harshness of winter was ending. It’s the time when you start to remember what it’s like when everything seems new again and long for it desperately. If life is sort of like one epic mood swing mirrored by the seasons with late fall the ultimate devastation and spring bringing a sense of balance and everything right within the world, this album fits perfectly within that context. In mid February, they were playing Schubas and by July they had secured a prime spot at Pitchfork Music Festival.

The Pains of Being Pure at Heart album is intelligently romantic, full of a lighter and sometimes ethereal shoegaze that seems to brim with bliss and shimmer as the best dream pop does. Missing is any sort of caustic sense to it. It’s what My Bloody Valentine may have created if they were young again and extremely wistful. You know the perfect way a bar of chocolate dissolves on your tongue during a warm afternoon? That’s the way listening to the Pains of Being Pure at Heart makes you feel. It helps you feel good in all the right places.

5. Sharon Van Etten: (American) Because I was in Love

There’s something about folk singer Sharon Van Etten that is incredibly impossible to put one’s finger on. The lyrics aren’t complex or even all that abstract but it’s the perfect music to listen to in the middle of the night and feel so very deeply. Sharon Van Etten is one of the nicest people and though her sense of being feels quite subtle and understated, she still manages to impact you as you go through your daily motions. Somehow, her songs feel unforgettable. There are no catchy choruses but you’ll long to sing along. There are no rock rifts but you’ll remember the chord progressions intimately. Much like Sibylle Baier’s Colour Green album, there are no frills needed. This is just a woman who overall knows how to make it work when she puts together her songs and the effect is very genuine and touching, which is frankly a relief in this postmodern world we live in.

6. Dead Man’s Bones: self titled (Canada, Los Angeles)


Stop groaning! Yes, yes, it’s another actor in a band and Ryan Gosling has been in both dismal maintream flicks as well as arty films that made me weep so loud in the theater I embarrassed myself and everyone around me cough Lars and the Real Girl cough. Anyhow, I greeted these songs with extreme skepticism as I rarely like bands that actors are in. Even Juliette Lewis, whose performances on stage are always striking and powerful, is not someone who has the studio material to match the greatness one sees live. However, this album is a real win. It captures all the best aspects of fall and Halloween in a way no other album I own can do. It’s spooky, catchy, and has songs elevated by the use of the Silverlake Conservatory of Music Children’s Choir. (Gosling used Children’s Choirs in different cities when he performed live, which made the performances equally amazing.) This is honestly a real treasure that, at the very least, you’ll yearn for every time Autumn comes rolling around

7. I Was a King (Norway):s/t


So fuzzy and friendly…a little like Teenage Fanclub in their best moments. It’s incredibly catchy and likeable and fills you with a lighthearted sense that everything is going to be alright. It’s sugary but not too sweet. It’s pop but with enough guitar effects to recall some of the highlights of 90s alternative songs. In any case, it’s accessible music that one can’t help but feel incredibly nostalgic about even upon first listen. The lovely female/male vocals from Strømstads and Anne Lise Frøkedal definitely work together to make this record a real win, though they were definitely more pronounced/audible when I saw them live!

8.Viva Voce (American): Rose City


I wouldn’t call it psychedelic if it wasn’t great. Viva Voce are one of those bands who should have become much more famous by now. Anita and Kevin Robinson certainly aren’t suffering from lack of talent and they’ve proven themselves to be very hard workers, touring and releasing five solid albums in the last 11 years. They know how to bring the gentle and the fierce but always take enough time developing each so that they hit you with their fullest capacity. This album has it’s mood swings but most of the time is the sense of lushness between slower and more savory songs like “Flora” and the songs more filled with obvious psychedelic rock such as “Die a Little.”

9. Marissa Nadler (American): Little Hells

There’s always something so beautiful about Nadler and so intrinsically intimate and special…she seems removed from everything modern when she sings about death and intimacy. She’s not doing anything incredibly different or out of the ordinary when she sings these songs but she fills them with such melancholy longing that you won’t be able to resist them very easily. Nadler demonstrates the capacity for great feeling in the sense of experiencing all kinds of moments that befall us in life. It’s folk music but it’s also something with immense human value to it. Nadler is full of shy and wonder. It’s a great honor to try to understand the world through her eyes, despite the pains it must take her to share it with us.

10. Kurt Vile (American): Childish Prodigy

I’ve been intrigued by this record for some time now. Some of the lyrics come back to haunt me when I least expect them. I can almost picture a lonely guy in the middle of the desert, playing to sand with all his heart, which is strange as he’s from Philly. I can also picture listening to this during an epic sort of road trip when you leave everything behind and nothing else matters. It has elements of both psychedelic rock as well as folk music and all the songs just work really well as part of the overall album.


Myspace: www.myspace.com/kurtvileofphilly


Honorable mention: Here are some albums I really enjoyed that didn’t quite make the cut.


Howlies: Trippin’ With the Hollies
Raveonettes: In and Out of Control
St Vincent: Actor
Vivian Girls: Everything Goes Wrong
Phoenix: Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix
Edited to add:
Sonic Youth: The Eternal (also a great record)
Le Loup: Family

#1: Thee Silver Mt. Zion: 13 Blues For Thirteen Moons(Montréal, Canada)

Though my brother in law may cringe at this, without a doubt, Thee Silver Mt. Zion put out the best album this year. I know they aren't for everyone but when Efrim Menuck sings, his sense of passion and desperation...the way he communicates devastation speaks to me in a way that makes me think...this, this is the reason why music is here.

I know some have criticized Thee Silver Mt. Zion as pretentious but as someone who has been following Efrim Menuck from Godspeed You! Black Emperor to this point, I feel more than anything it's disarming and also...well, honest. Every time I put on this record, I feel a storm of emotion inside of me waiting to pour out. It startles me but I can't help it. When Efrim sings "Some hearts are true," it's the most hopeful moment. When Efrim sings "One Million Died to Make This Sound," my body was meant for collapse. He's singing my thoughts. He's singing my fears, my prayers. All that is in me is coming out of that dear man's throat.

And let's not forget the strength of the instrumentation and the joint choral effect (of the tra la la band) the album and live performance takes on. It creates the sense we're all in this together and we're all feeling it together. We may each have 13 blues for thirteen moons but we're sharing it together and, in a way, that redeems this pitiful life.


It's true that Thee Silver Mt. Zion, particularly because of Efrim's pained vocal delivery, is an acquired taste. If, like me, you acquire it, you'll probably never let it go.

#2 Karkwa: Le Volume du Vent
(Montréal, Canada)

Yes, another band from Montréal but this one sings in French! Ok, I literally first heard this band for the first time yesterday...skeptical? How 'bout if I told you that they are at times like, as Bill Pearis ( soundbites.typepad.com/soundbites/) aptly describes , a French Canadian Radiohead?

The album begins with a real intensity with Le Compteur before settling down into tracks like Oubile Pas, Le Frimas, and Le Temps Mort later on.

Well, anyhow, I'm in love with this record. It's passionate but also very melodic and urgent at the same time. Sort of like being simultaneously heavy and ethereal. Too bad they won't accept my American money but you can buy this most recent album on itunes. Have a listen...if melodramatic songs are your thing, I think you'll be pleased:

www.myspace.com/karkwa


#3 Portishead: Third
(Bristol, UK)

I know there were many who were disappointed with this album but, if you're like me, you're grasping for just about every last scrap Beth Gibbons will give you

Now, I know this one is a little unpredictable and I know it's also a bit inconsistent. The album starts out with a startling track, "Silence" that builds in a completely hypnotizing way (especially if you are listening to it for the fourth time that night whilst editing photos at around 3:30 am when you begin to realize the next day is coming.) It cuts you off just as you truly sense the overall motion of it, though and the jarring effect is a testament to just how effective the song is.

"Machine Gun" has a similar overall feel and I think it could be said that it's Beth Gibbons at her most overtly powerful. But, we must also try to appreciate the random unpredictability of the album overall which I feel Beth Gibbons makes work in a very atypical way. Quite a few of the tracks are those that cannot be easily taken out of context and they are also the kinds of songs you need to give some extra time to. In a way, it feels like we see a portrait of a woman in all of her moods and this feels not only right but very honest. Just listen to "The Rip" as the day starts to peak through the dark curtain of night and you'll see what I mean.

#4 The High Dials: Moon Country
(Montréal, Canada)

If you were to ask me what genre of music I love the most, above all others, I would look at you and say, without any hesitation: Psychedelic. It's something within me that I can't describe. Oh, shoegaze is wonderful and punk has it's place but it's the psychedelic music that speaks to me most. Without it, life is a very bleak place indeed.

That said, The High Dials have put out their third full length double album, Moon Country, and it is magnificent. What amazes me every time I hear the band on album or see them play is how utterly talented every member is. I feel most alive by listening and, even though they are playing songs in the genre that made bands like The Pretty Things and Love great, every time I listen to The High Dials, it seems so fresh to me. In other words, even though the influences peaked so long ago, there's such a joy and bliss renewed that comes to me. It's like I was experiencing it for the first time and it's wonderful. This album as well as 2005's War of the Wakening Phantoms are stellar and if you get a chance to see them live, do whatever you can not to miss it. As I told lead singer Trevor Anderson recently when I saw him play a show in Chicago, "I swear, if aliens were to land on this planet and hold everyone hostage, demanding even just one reason why the entire human race shouldn't be obliterated, I would play them your music."

"How can you be so sure, " he said, "that the aliens wouldn't like reggae dub better?"

#5 Spiritualized: Songs in A&E
(Rugby, England)


I really thought Spiritualized had lost it. Seriously! I felt 2003's Amazing Grace was just an album full of rehashed melodies from previous albums and that, frankly, Jason Pierce was starting to lose his magic. Then, another proper full length live album took five years to emerge. In that time, Pierce was going through so many issues including a serious hospital stay. No doubt he did some soul searching to produce this brilliant album, complete with tracks that suggest the power and energy of "Electricity" such as "You Lie You Cheat" but with a delicateness that suggest a fallen angel as in "Sweet Talk." Don't tell me I'm the only one that cries every time I hear "Death take your fiddle."

Needless to say, the gospel choir Pierce chose to back him up both live and on album was one of the best musical decisions he's ever made. Jason, you set my soul on fire.

#6 Juana Molina: Un Dia
(Buenos Aires, Argentina)

Dear Juana,

You make my days complete...how could anyone be so complex and yet so soothing. I listen to you in my darkest hour and you are so comforting and at the same time incredibly intriguing as a songwriter...your compositions of songs work in a way no American songwriter that I know of can come close to. You are the reason why music will never die. In this modern age, you can be innovative and still provide a sense of stability somehow to this ever changing world. For that, no words seem to do you justice. You are creative in a way that mere syllables strung together seem almost wrong to describe as they are not enough.

Your devoted listener,
Kirstie

#7 The Magnetic Fields: Distortion
(Boston and NYC)

It probably comes to some of you as no surprise that I am a fan of Stephin Merritt's wry and insightful lyrics...his way of analyzing relationships and intimacy in a way that few can. I have such a history with this band, beginning so long ago when I was a college student. I loved all of Merritt's stories and even his lyrics when he was most jaded. I couldn't settle for one disc of the 69 Lovesongs...I had to have all three.

Distortion is not without a great deal of classic Merritt wit but the great guitar fuzz effect on much of the album makes it even more engaging to listen to. In a way the feedback and lo fi quality of it makes it seem dated but it's the kind of dates that got you through many of your years so far.

It's always interesting to me how live they tend to strip this down into an acoustic set. Both have their Merritt but I greatly prefer to hear the songs in this way with their full energy realized and without the strange personality of Stephin's making me feel more than slightly uncomfortable.

www.myspace.com/themagneticfields


#8 Orouni: Jump Out the Window
(Paris, France)

Orouni came out with his/their second full length album this year and the only way I'd like these magical songs better is if they were sung in French. Instead, they are sung in English but with a rather enchanting accent.

The cello arrangements are really lovely and so are the beautiful backup vocals of Mina Tindle, Mlie, and Emma. There's a real depth that Orouni has reached at times lyrically and some don't strike you at first but get stuck in your head with the accompanying melody line. There's an odd sense of innocence to the songs, especially the melodies, that make them all the more endearing like a bunch of comforting friends.

#9 Clinic: Do It!
(Liverpool, England)

Ok, you know those times when it's 8am, your parents are visiting in less than 24 hours and you've slept only about five in the last three days???? Well, you may be crawling to the shower and broom but, before that, do yourself a favor and put on Clinic's Do It! It's the get yourself in gear and get some work done type of album. Oh, and also, you might have to take some breaks to dance. Though I found Clinic's live show a little shticky with the surgical masks and the Hawaiian shirts, their live sound even more so brought out these gems.

Even though it's really upbeat overall and just gives me so much more artificial energy, I think Clinic is probably more of an acquired taste, especially relative to more typical music in all three genres of rock, pop, and even dance. Mainly, it's the overly nasal vocals that might turn some off again.

Funny thing about Clinic, when Walking With Thee hit the independent radiowaves back in 2002, I was so repulsed with the sound of it. I literally couldn't stand it and the college radio station in Chicago (WLUW) played it to death! I got to the point where I was changing the radio station any time the title track was played. I HATED Clinic. I wanted to scream how much I hated them! Why were they taking up space on the airwaves, I wanted to know!?!?!

Then, one day I woke up. It was still 2002 and it was on a Sunday. I looked out of the window and it was pouring rain. I turned on the radio but that didn't have what I was looking for. What did I want? Need? Crave with every fiber of my being? That's right! I had to have Walking With Thee and I would travel across the city at warp speed during a thunderstorm just to have it. I tell you this story just so if you're turned off for the first time, realize those songs you listen to might somehow come back to haunt you...they have very strange powers.

#10 Lost Wisdom
(Washington and Canada)

A joint venture between Phil Elverum of Mount Eerie fame and Julie Doiron has led to such lush and beautiful melodies that really resonate. The chemistry and dynamics of their two voices work together so well it recalls the harmony and beauty of the way Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel sang together so long ago at times, only if Art was a female. Hmmm...imagine the possibilities that might have brought!
