i cannot stop treating my ears to the delectable, soothing sounds of a select few artists at le moment. especially after attending Bonnaroo, i have a new found appreciation for musical groups of the mellow variety. needless to say, after 4 days straight of pounding bass, i threw together a playlist of solid, tranquilizing tracks that perfectly pacified my easy-going, and somewhat exhausted demeanor for the 6 + 1/2 hour drive homeward. the majority of my playlist lies on the opposite side of the spectrum in comparison to my unconventional taste during my wild weekend at the roo. + since coming home, i have yet to let go of these calming albums, thus developing a new top 10. The list is as follows, in no particular order:
Grizzly Bear - Veckatimest
Black Moth Super Rainbow - Eating Us
Phoenix - Wolfgang Amadeus
Dirty Projectors - Bitte Orca
Yeasayer - All Hour Cymbals
Department of Eagles - In Ears Park
Beck - Modern Guilt
Black Keys - Magic Potion
Various Artists - Dark Was the Night*
Radiohead - In Rainbows**
Honorable Mentions:
- Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago
- Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes + Sun Giant EP
- TV on the Radio - Dear Science
- Neko Case - Middle Cyclone
- Kings of Leon - Only By the Night
- Andrew Bird - Noble Beast
- M83 - Saturdays = Youth
- Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Its Blitz
*Probably the gr8est thing ever created
** I'm never letting this one go
postscript-with all of this said, animal collective will still always be my favorite, 4ever +ever
