I asked the main actors of this here blog (mostly musicians, of course, but also friends, family, support-givers…) to provide me with a list (5 to 20 albums) of their favorite records of the year.
The results are slowly coming in. There are surprises, resemblances, similarities, incongruous choices… I’ve left the responses intact, exactly as I received them, along with my friends’ comments. So here goes:
Christophe Katrib: DJ, musician (Cristobal), photographer
“Although I haven’t purchased all the music I would have wanted to this year, I will write a list based on what I’ve been able to listen to, in and out, up and down, a couple might be from 2007 though… here it goes:”
– Bon Iver: For Emma, Forever ago
– Ratatat: LP3
– Fleet Foxes: Fleet Foxes
– Passion Pit: Chunk of Change (EP)
– Elbow: The seldom seen kid
– Yeasayer: All hour cymbals
– Band of Horses: Cease to begin
– The Helio Sequence: Keep your eyes ahead
– TV on the Radio: dear science
– Okkervil River: The Stand Ins
– Destroyer: Trouble in Dreams
