#10 The War On Drugs - A Deeper Understanding
Pounding drums, harmonicas, wailing Americana and dueling guitars abound.
#9 The Allergies - Push On
Brighton duo with their second collection of big beat tunes, styles and a collection of guest vocalists which help with the variety on this album.
Second album from the Western Australian band who have taken their hallucinatory rock show to critical acclaim around the world.
#7 Ride - Weather Diaries
Indie shoe gazers return over twenty years since they last recorded together. Great comeback album mixing their early sound with some contemporary flourishes.
#6 Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds - Who Built The Moon?
In a year when Liam Gallagher released his first solo album and spent much of it bagging his older brother, there was no room for complacency and Noel responded with this rocking album.
#5 Beck - Colors
The album was long awaited dropping over two years after the lead single Dreams appeared. This is Beck back in party mode.
#4 Black Grape - Pop Voodoo
Daft Funk. This is Black Grape's 3rd album and their second best of all time. Shaun Ryder & Kermit deliver their assessment of the US election as well as their usual themes of smoking, drinking and other vices.
#3 Jesus And Mary Chain - Damage And Joy
JAMC return with their first album since 1998 filled with fuzzy guitars, guest duets and pop gems. They sound fresh like a much younger group but they look like they have escaped from the portrait of Dorian Grey.
#2 Everything Everything - A Fever Dream
Manchester band dabbling in the well worn groove between rock and dance music.
#1 Kasabian - For Crying Out Loud
The finest album by the world's most self assured band. Packed with hits and funny to boot.
I've compiled a taster playlist mixing four tracks from each album below...
Tracks of the year is coming soon...
