Marconi Union - “Distance”
Subdued-yet-gorgeous ambient/electronic music that conjures up the alien silences of a city at 3:00am.
Park Avenue Music - “By Hearts+Horses”
Park Avenue Music’s latest is more experimental and less straightforward than their previous work, but it’s just as lovely and intimate.
Cut Copy - “In Ghost Colours”
Cut Copy’s In Ghost Colours is the finest “shameless ‘80s appropriation album” that I’ve heard so far in 2008. But it has a lot more going for it than just nostalgia and retro appeal.
July Skies - “The Weather Clock”
All told, The Weather Clock is really just more of the same from Antony Harding. But if you find yourself at all captivated by July Skies’ crepuscular sounds, than you’ll welcome any chance to remain absorbed and captivated by them a little longer.
