2012….The Year End List to end all Year End Lists



   Everyone does their year-end music lists but instead of boring you to tears with dissecting every record to death I thought I'd just mention a few records that came out in 2012 that moved me enough to give a second or third spin (sometimes even a fourth)…so here we go

Aaron Mangoff – "You and I"
Cold specks – "I Predict a Graceful Expulsion"
BidiniBand – "In The Rock Hall"
Diamond Rings – "Free Dimensional"
D-Sisive – "Jonestown 3: The Dream is Over"
Grimes – "Visions"
Indian Handcrafts – "Civil Disobedience For Losers"
Modern Superstitions – "Modern Superstitions"
PS I Love You – "Death Dreams"
Scott Cooper – "quiet company"
Yacht Club – "Nonnavera Mixtape"

Looking over my list I just noticed that they are all Canadian....what does that tell ya ?

Thanks to everyone that followed the Blog (even after the name change) this past year…I hope to take Sonic More Music farther in the coming year so look out you have been warned.

Yacht Club’s Nonnavera Mixtape #1


     Yacht Club's music reminds me of a well-worn BASF I had stuck in my tape player when I was about 17….the keyboards and crafty pop vocals warm you over but don't bore you like so much music seems to do these days. 

   Ben's quoted as saying on his Blog NO GUV NO LUV "I'm going to cool it on new projects for a while and focus on FU and YC"…I for one want to hear more from Ben & Matt's Yacht Club project, I'm really digging it.

Yacht Club are Ben Cook and Matt DeLong.

Below you can listen to the entire 4 track NONNAVERA Mixtape

Favourite Track: Married Romance
