 Neoloop: 21 Albums of the Year 2009

Everyone has been asking me what's the best album of the year, well its a tough choice to just come up with one. So I've compiled a list of 21 albums that I think are worthy of such praise as an album of the year. So, in no particular order, here are Neoloop's choice album's that have been continually entertaining throughout 2009. It's been another good year for new music, from the dancehall mayhem of Major Laser to the dynamic hip hop of Q-Tip and Mos def, from the freaky folk of Devendra Banhart to the folktronica of Biblo, and the Psychodellic rhythms of Neon Indian and Beyond the Wizards Sleeve. Moody and epic albums from Dirty Projectors and Atlas Sound soundtracked some great late night listening. Summer tunes in the car with the top down provided by Animal Collective, Little Dragon, Pheonix, Empire of the Sun, Miike Snow and DJ Vadim. We danced in a daze to Fuck Buttons, Matias Aguayo and The Juan MacLean and came home and chilled out to The Meanderthals and The XX
