WOW, 2007, you've outdone yourself.
So I downloaded two new albums today:
The Arcade Fire - Neon Bible
and
Panda Bear - Person Pitch
Neon Bible is incredible. It really is. It is awesome in the way that Picaresque was awesome upon first listen. 11 great songs, uplifting, sentimental, etc. Not as emotional and 80s themed as Funeral, but awesome in its own right.
Person Pitch is, as Pitchfork said, "pretty much the best thing in the world." As it stands, this is my favorite album of 2007, at the moment. And, good luck beating it. Actually, good luck writing a song half as good as "Bros," or half as beautiful as "Ponytail." And, check out this cover. Pet Sounds of the 21st century? Answer: a resounding "YES YES!"
