Top 10 Neuerscheinungen 2013:

Noch extremer als in den Vorjahren konkurrierte 2013 jede noch so ambitionierte Neuerscheinung mit unzähligen Wiederveröffentlichungen vergessener Klassiker, Horizont erweiternden Compilations oder vormals nie erhältlichen Ausgrabungen. Fazit: Alt schlägt neu. Hier sind des Jahres Neue:

Dean Blunt – The Redeemer (Hippos In Tanks)
Keiner spielte das Anarchiv so souverän wie Dean Blunt mit seinen Beziehungskisten-Chamber Soul-Skizzen.

eMMplekz – Your Crate Has Changed (Mordant Music)
Mmmmusik zzzzur Z-Z-Zeit und Mmmmedien mmmmachen MMMenschen.

Sleaford Mods – Austerity Dogs (Harbinger Sound)
Musik zur Zeit! Nein? Fuck Off!!

Julia Holter – Loud City Song (Domino)
The queen of table waters oder die neue Joni Mitchell?

Grumbling Fur – Glynnaestra (Thrill Jockey)
Britischer Hauntology Folk im psychedelischen Electropop-Outfit.

James Ferraro – NYC, Hell 3:00 am (Hippos In Tanks)
Apokalyptischster Soul aus und über den Schurkenstaat.

Jon Brooks – Shapwick (Clay Pipe Music)
Eigentlich eine Ghost Box-Platte und schon wegen der Morricone-Rip-Offs ein Hit.

The Stranger – Watching Dead Empires In Decay (Modern Love)
Leyland Kirbys Neubauten sind endlich eingestürzt und haben sich übers Equipment erschüttet.

Burnt Friedman-Jaki Liebezeit-Jono Podmore-Irmin Schmidt – Cyclopean (Spoon)
Die beste Can-Platte seit Can – vom Can-Re-release-Theater begraben...

Laurel Halo – Chance Of Rain (Hyperdub)
Cover des Jahres, Musik leicht überbewertet.
