The Moon & Antarctica // Modest Mouse
Provided you're in the right mood, The Moon & Antarctica is one of the standout indie rock releases of the 2000s.
The Sophtware Slump // Grandaddy
Despite extended musical passages and eccentric lyrics, The Sophtware Slump is remarkably accessible. It's pop music for art students.
And Nothing Hurt // Spiritualized
This is the first Spiritualized album in six years, so it's bizarre to hear something that sounds like the product of artistic saturation.
Last Place // Grandaddy
Some artists have a hard time returning after a lengthy hiatus, but Grandaddy has done it with aplomb. Last Place is all you could want from a comeback.
Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots // The Flaming Lips
The album functions best as a fantastical journey of curious thoughts and emotions. It’s clumsy, yet very loveable, and there’s nothing else quite like it.
Atomic // Mogwai
Atomic can be exhausting, but in a manner that exhilarates rather than drains. There is plenty for Mogwai fans to love in this soundtrack.
Ladies and Gentleman We Are Floating in Space // Spiritualized
A magnificent journey, with tortured themes, fragile vocals, irresistibly groovy basslines, beautifully spacious production, and such a curious closer.
Bossanova // Pixies
Our first ever review. Reads like it too. In any case, the album can certainly boast a groove, but it lacks the edge of Pixies' best work.
