Best of 2010: Aviva
January 2nd, 2011 | By: Aviva Cohen
Our Photo Editor, Aviva Cohen, shares her picks for best albums of 2010.
10) Doug Paisley – Constant Companion
Duets with Feist and Garth Hudson tickling the ivories. Perfect twang.
9) Daniel, Fred & Julie – Daniel, Fred & Julie
Three part harmony murder ballads.
8) Besnard Lakes – The Besnard Lakes are the Roaring Night
Blisswave Pt. 1
7) Beachhouse – Teen Dream
Blisswave Pt. 2
6) Owen Pallet – Heartland
Top pop record with strings, strings, strings.
5) Sam Amidon – I See The Sign
Appalachian avant garde with Nico Muhly strings. Also an R. Kelly cover. What’s not to like?
4) Justin Townes Earle – Harlem River Blues
When did this guy go from channeling Charlie Poole to Gram Parsons?
3) Punch Brothers – Antifogmatic
A damn fine bluegrass band wrote a damn fine pop record. Bend that genre, boys.
2) Sufjan Stevens – Age Of Adz
Sufjan gets real, gets right.
1) The National – High Violet
Bummer in the summer.
