The Sounds of 2014 is a year end round up of the albums that stuck with us this.
Annie Clark once said “I wanted to make a party record you could play at a funeral.“ in a press release, and this pretty much is the perfect description for her fourth solo album simple titled St. Vincent, released on February 24, 2014.
Upon first listening to it earlier this year I never made anything of it, I just saw it as just another St. Vincent album but looking at my most played songs from this year, I realized that a few songs from the album ranked pretty high on that list. It was always played but I never realized it. It was played enough to a point that I was oblivious to it being on. And then I realized that in a way the more I love a song the less I notice it.

Foo Fighter’s Sonic Highways was much anticipated and for good reason. The album Sonic Highways was officially released on November 10.

Listening to …Like Clockwork by Queens of The Stone Age is like suddenly being dropped into an alternate universe, a universe in where everybody is wearing black, hunched over, a world where everyone’s got long nails and sharp crooked teeth.

When we talk about the best of videogame composers, the same names often get brought up. Nobuo Uematsu, Koji Kondo, Grant Kirkhope and Koh Ohtani. While those composers have rightfully earned their place, it often makes for a predictable list. A lot of talented composers tend to get lost in the mix, either due to the games they work on not feeling as monumental, or because they weren’t as well known in English speaking territories.
One of these composers would be Yuzo Koshiro. Best known for his work on the Streets of Rage series, Koshiro’s best works communicate a strong energy. There’s a momentum to a his work that carries through multiple generations of hardware.

For my recommendation this week it’s the 2013 album from Franz Ferdinand, Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Actions.

Beautiful, catchy, dreamy… those are just some of the uber cliche words one might describe this new album from the goddess that is Jenny Lewis, The Voyager, her third solo album released on July 29, 2014.
This album, (her first in 6 years) is damn good… it’s out of this world, it’s witchcraft. I make it a point to listen to every album I get straight through at least once, but for The Voyager I found the I actually listened to it straight through four times. The first being the advance playthrough on NPR a few days ago.
