I guess I’ve finally succumbed to the idea that a digital download is just as good as the compact disc. The year 2017 will go on record as the first year I bought more downloads of albums than CD’s. More Slowdive lyrics and MP3 downloads More popular Slowdive mp3 songs include: Miranda , Crazy For You Lyrics , Catch the Breeze Lyrics , All Of Us , Rutti Lyrics , Visions Of La Lyrics , In Mind Lyrics , Blue Skied an' Clear Lyrics , Cello , Trellisaze , WHEN THE SUN HITS Lyrics. Don’t get me wrong the soaring effects laden guitars last night were very plentiful, but Atlas Sound were firmly grounded with an ace all girl rhythm section which made the songs really get into some. Atlas Sound definitely has Slowdive like sound, but I thought it was the dub-like bass lines last night that kept reminding me of Slowdive.It’s initial pressing sold out before anyone outside their circle even heard about them. RVG – A Quality of Mercy (Our Golden Friend)This Australian band’s debut album grew slowly on me. The reappearence of these earlier shoegazey bands (also My Bloody Valentines MBV) had me so suprised and so grateful for good music.1.

So, without any further digressions, here are my top 40 albums of 2017 with streaming links if I could find one.Artist: Slowdive Album: Slowdive Released: 2017 Style: Dreampop Format: MP3 320Kbps Size: 104 Mb.
Slowdive Full Of PissThe songs were based on great grooves the reminded me of Eddy Current Suppression Ring and the angst-ridden vocals of Jenny McKechnie flashed with hints of Sleater Kinney. Syrian-born Azniv Korkejian who goes by Bedouine posses a smooth and soothing voice and made the comfort record of the year.The debut LP from this Australian trio was full of piss and vinegar. Part Carpenters, Jim Sullivan and Leonard Cohen. For my money though, Fazerdaze has a better hit ratio.This record came out of nowhere and sounded like nothing else this year. Blissed out bedroom pop that is in the same realm as the better-known Jay Som. Soaring guitars and lyrics filled with the bleakness of real life fueled songs that got better and better with each listen.I was surprised not to see this album on more year end lists. ![]() Group Doueh & Cheveu – Dakhla Sahara Session (Born Bad)This seemed to be an odd team-up, but it worked. Album number two from Zebra Hunt sees the band maintaining the insanely high level of quality of their debut.11. Thankfully the city still has these fellows who make Feelies-Flying Nun styled jangly pop that is second to none. Zebra Hunt – In Phrases (Tenorio Cotobade)I chose not to make a separate list of Seattle albums this year due to the issue of the seemingly disappearing Seattle scene. Music maker for macBlack Springs – When We Were Great (Oven Material)Instead of calling this an album, Black Springs chose to call When We Were Great a compilation of songs from their past giving you the idea that the band are no longer together. You hear elements of all the aforementioned, but nothing obvious due to Owens skipping off down her own path of ethereal pop bliss.15. Kelly Lee Owens – S/T (Smalltown Supersound)For fans of Kate Bush, Bjork and the Cocteau Twins Kelly Lee Owens is a godsend. Star Tropics – Lost World (Shelflife)Chicago’s Star Tropics blend of indiepop jangle, Sarah records, For Against and New Order won’t win them any awards for originality, but the quality of their songs and the atmosphere they create is no rip-off either.14. This trio of women seemed to have it somewhat backwards, but their Wire inspired pop that scratches, rubs and soothes sometimes all at once makes for a winning record.13. Feature – Banishing Ritual (Upset! the RhythmMake a record. Or maybe it was the goth sound made me think of Christian Death and the Chameleons. It was unfortunate that he decided to forgo appearing on the latest New Pornographers LP this year, but that means this album is all top shelf stuff.I loved how Dada seemed to be both punk and post-punk at once. The sound is majestic and the outlook is dreary and sad, but with Bejar you get laughs with your tears. After Lollipop, Plimsoull Punks hit me, and after that Not My Baby and I was a believer again.With Ken, Dan Bejar has fully stepped into the Scottish rain soaked landscapes of the Blue Nile. That song reminded me how effortlessly easy this band makes great pop songs. Priests kick back and write songs worth rallying around, which is much needed in this day and age of moral drift.Flat Worms which features former members of Dream Boys, Sic Alps and Thee Oh Sees hit the ground running on this pummelingly great record. Nothing Feels Natural Feels urgent and agitated and under attack. Priests – Nothing Feels Natural (Sister Polygon)Washington, DC’s Priests ably carry on the politically informed pop/punk that was championed by a litany of bands from the nation’s capital. A Thousand Skies is cut from the same cloth of tribal rhythms and slithering melodies that veer towards drum and bass, but he adds some guest vocalists this time around.20. Clap! Clap! – A Thousand Skies (Black Acre)After teaming up with Paul Simon last year, Cristiano Crisci returns with album number two of dark world inspired rhythms. I also loved how there ain’t a clunker in the bunch.19. The Jealous Machines(Sub Pop)I guess the two Shabazz Palaces LP’s from this year are considered a rap album, but it’s so out there in terms of mainstream rap that I don’t consider it as such. Shabazz Palaces – Quazarz: Born On A Gangster Star &Quazarz Vs. They’re sound like a biker gang that digs Suicide, but thinks synths are for poseurs. Mo Troper – Exposure & Response (Good Cheer)Mo Troper’s second album may not change the world, but it’s pristine orchestral pop will restore your faith in it. You can probably come at these two records from a hundred different directions and still dig them both.23. You like the Peter Thomas Orchestra? How about Can? That Clap! Clap! record? And a thousand other things. Sleaford Mods – English Tapas (Rough Trade)You would think that after high rate of release this duo keeps up that they’d run out of ideas, but English Tapas sees no let up and in fact may their best one since Austerity Dogs. The vocals are shared between band members giving the album the feel of a vaudeville variety, but they keep the plot tight and the songs sweet.25. The group have a lot in common with bands like the Pastels, Comet Gain and the Envelopes. Steeped in 80’s punk and ska and sporting pop an astute pop sensibility First World Record is a sax laden tour de fun.27. The World – First World Record (Upset! The Rhythm)Take a tiny bit of Banarama, and add in some Specials and Selector and you get a sort of idea of what the Bay Area’s the World are going after. Are they aiming for the charts?26. My only complaint about this album is that the best stuff is hidden on side two, but that is minor.It’s weird to think that Slowdive were scoffed at by the British press during their first incarnation in the 1990’s. Up the Tower, Don’t Go To Anacita and Male Plague are among the band’s best. It simultaneously comments on the sorry state of society, shares its rage and does so with songs that make you want to raise your fist and shout the chorus. Protomartyr – Relatives In Descent (Domino)Protomartyr’s fourth album is a towering achievement. This batch of songs is stronger and they approach the same quality that Broadcast reached on Tender Buttons.28. Motorik beats, icy, layered vocals and clean sounding guitar riffs. Slowdive are still with us and making brilliant music.
