#NOT IN LOVE BY CRYSTAL CASTLES LYRICS MAC#

Lots of spring reverb and nods to Phil Spector but a real written-in-the-bedroom simplicity and homey vibe make this debut album hard not to like. IвЂ™m really not a fan of blues-rock or anything vaguely smelling of retro (if I want that I have the real past, thanks) but in 2010 I couldnвЂ™t help be charmed by a few acts who draw heavily on days gone by, particularly Best CoastВ who are Beth and Bobb (and Snacks the Cat). Their set contained tracks from both albums and IвЂ™ve included my fave track from this yearвЂ™s Crystal Castles (II) вЂ“ вЂCelesticaвЂ™ which didnвЂ™t disappoint fans of the chip-tune electro-noisemeisters. It was like watching a wild, dangerous animal have a nervous breakdown. I saw Crystal CastlesВ for the first time this year, at LondonвЂ™s RoundhouseВ and even though it was a вЂconcertвЂ™ rather than a вЂgigвЂ™ вЂ“ which usually leaves me cold вЂ“ Alice certainly doesnвЂ™t tame her inner beast for the more polished venues. Though Alice GlassВ may have some running through her veins. Looking down this list, itвЂ™s pretty light on testosterone. If I could be in any band right now, it would be this one (might only be possible via a sex change!?!).

This year has seen me fall for several female-fronted pop acts, in particular the entirely-Johnson-free four-piece WarpaintВ вЂ“ a Cali-based group of young lasses who have mined (some would say ripped off) all the bittersweet goodness of Suzanne Vega, Fleetwood Mac and other masters of plaintive 80s melancholic pop as well as early 90s slowcore, added their own dub-electro beats and laid-back harmonies and made my favourite record of the year вЂThe FoolвЂ™.

My fave tracks of the year are:Д¬lick any track to play the whole playlist from that point on: 2010 has been another great year for new music, with fresh and original acts taking centre stage whilst many of our established heroes take a year out releasing albums forgettable or not at all.
