Brian Orloff's Fave Albums Of 2004
1. Rilo Kiley, More Adventurous (Brute/Beaute): Jenny Lewis and Co. make their major-label debut with this appropriately titled disc. Lewis has perfected the ambivalent love song, and it's beautiful.
2. Kanye West, College Dropout (Roc-A-Fella): West was always a respected producer, but he's proven that he has what it takes to be in front of the mic too. Plus he has God on his side.
3. The Killers, Hot Fuss (Island): The Killers know this year's
sound du jour favors '80s nostalgia and new wave grooves, but the Vegas band
pens solid songs, including "Somebody Told Me," definitely the single of the
year.
4. Björk, Medúlla (Elektra): Björk's choral opus Medúlla is a challenging tangle of human voices, sensual chanting and primal rhythms that evokes secret, corporal landscapes (she says the disc was inspired during her pregnancy).
5. Nellie McKay, Get Away From Me (Columbia): Three cheers for Nellie McKay for assuming the needed role of the anti-Norah. This brassy double disc is audacious fun.
6. The Dears, No Cities Left (Spin Art): The Dears are masters
of sweeping psychedelic pop with romantic bursts.
7. Loretta Lynn, Van Lear Rose (Interscope): Thanks, Jack White, for revitalizing Lynn's career. The hype is true. This disc is divine.
8. Air, Talkie Walkie (Astralwerks): This French duo creates warm, electronic spaces that soothe and seduce. Listen to their silky harmonies crest amid layers of textured, keyboard-led pop.
9. PJ Harvey, Uh Huh Her (Island): PJ Harvey is back at her raw best. Harvey growls and stomps through her spindly tunes, stripped to grumbling electric guitars, nervy bass and drums.
10. Blonde Redhead, Misery Is a Butterfly (4AD): Misery Is a Butterfly is Blonde Redhead's most realized disc to date, a fragile collection of atmospheric compositions.
Reissue: Jeff Buckley, Grace (Columbia): This reissue reminds us what a voice the late Buckley had, and offers a generous second disc for fanatics.
