Art Brut – Art Brut vs. Satan
[Cooking Vinyl, 2009]
genre: indie rock, indie pop, punk- funk
Third Art Brut’s Album named “Art Brut vs. Satan” is their debut album at Cooking vinyl record label. Indie rock sounds in a full of energy dance punk album.
Brut’s Edie Argos tried to be better and get rid off the tag they carry all these years from the song that made them famous (”Formed a band”). I cannot say that he really made it but his efforts produced an album that’s worth a try.

Andrew Bird – Noble Beast
[Fat Possum, 2009]
genre: adult pop, retro swing
Andrew Bird the songwriter/singer and violin player from Chicago creates his fifth solo album. Interesting violin performances, accompanied by his sweet and romantic voice and clarinet sounds, in order to make “Noble Beast”. I cannot say that I was expecting from him to create something better than his previous album “Armchair Apocrypha” and I think this is the reason that he didn’t disappoint me.

Manic street preachers – Journal for Plague Lovers
[Sony BMG Europe, 2009]
genre: alternative pop, Britpop
I would characterize them as “The last survivors of Britpop”. The 18 years old band is the only one remained from the 90’s Britpop wave and strikes again with their ninth album. Produced from Steve Albini, one of the best producers of our time, “Journal for Plague Lovers” is an album that continues their history. Barbed-wire guitars, rhythmic drums and sometimes aggressive vocals in an album that is produced to honor their lost member Richey James since most of the songs performed here are his. A pleasant album that gives Manic the opportunity to share their feelings with us.
