No Lands/Negative Space @newamrecords.bsky.social, 2014) “You might call it a synth-art-almost-pop record, hinting at 80's hit-makers without actually going there. Even with the Linn drums, there's nothing ironic going on in these lush, warmly produced pieces.” (My original review) #5debutalbums1014

Jenny O. - Automechanic (Holy Trinity Records, 2013) Great songs, great singing, stellar production by Jonathan Wilson, James Gadson on two tracks…why wasn’t this huge? At least in an indie way? Music biz mystery. On my top 100 of the decade list! #5debutalbums1014

Atoms For Peace - Amok (XL, 2013) After the slightly arid The King Of Limbs, Thom Yorke found a groovier groove with Flea (of all people), Mauro Refosco, Joey Waronker & Nigel Godrich. Holds up well, but like TKOL, also better live! #5debutalbums1014

Boogarins - As Plantas Que Curam (Other Music Recording Co., 2013) It wasn’t until 2014, when I saw these Brazilian rockers “levitate” Other Music in their first NYC appearance that I became a fan. I’ve not looked back since - they were on my Top 25 last year! #5debutalbums1014

Hospitality - s/t (Merge, 2012) Revisiting this at the end of the decade, I found “its blend of melody and melancholy so inviting” that I included it on my 100 best albums of the 2010s. It’s that good! Come back Amber Papini… #5debutalbums1014
November 2, 2025 at 5:56 PM
Divine Fits - A Thing Called… (Merge, 2012) Side project? Super group? Either way this collabo between Spoon’s Britt Daniel, Wolf Eyes’ Dan Boeckner, Alex Fischel, and New Bomb Turks’ Sam Brown is neo-new wave perfection. Just wish I’d seen them live! #5debutalbums1014

Father John Misty - Fear Fun (@subpop.bsky.social, 2012) The first missive from the man whose “reality is realer than yours.” My #3 album of that year: “Bitingly witty and with the best singing and songwriting of his career.” Little did I know about what lay ahead! #5debutalbums1014

Breton - Other People’s Problems (Fatcat, 2012) My #2 album of 2012, when I called it a “dark (but never despairing) and often funky album…” Just tonight, my wife called it audacious, and she was not wrong! #5debutalbums1014

"Is this how the end is supposed to feel?" Emma Swift asks in Signing Off With Love. Yes, if she means the perfect ending for her brilliant album, The Resurrection Game! Check out the new video for the song: youtu.be/DKpKOuUOjBo?...
