TOP 10 Icelandic Albums of 2009

My TOP 10 Icelandic Albums 2009
Bestu 10 íslensku plötur ársins

1. Sudden Weather Change “Stop! Handgrenade In The Name Of Crib Death ´nderstand?”: Not the best album cover, not the best album title, but just the best album of 2009. Energetic & raw rock, not for pussies.
2. Morðingjarnir “Flóttinn mikli”: A grown-up punkrock album.
3. Lady & Bird “La Ballade of Lady & Bird - A Project by Keren Ann Zeidel & Barði Jóhannsson”: Best French/Icelandic collaboration ever, a nice collection of live recordings.
4. Hafdis Huld “Synchronised Swimmers”: Sweet pop music by a sweet lover.
5. Eberg “Antidote”: Einar Tönberg is back with more twinkling tunes.
6. Blóð “Fólkið heimtar Blóð”: Includes best song lyrics of 2009 (“Icesave”).
7. Kimono “Easy music for difficult people”: Indie music like it’s meant to be.
8. DYS “Andspyrna”: Best “kreppa” album – 2 for the price of 1 – with apocalyptic & visionary lyrics about the crisis.
9. Dr. Gunni “Inniheldur”: As prescribed by the doctor.
10. Singapore Sling “Perversity, Desperation and Death”: For people who like black.
