Best of 09: Albums of the Year

10. JAPANDROIDS - POST-NOTHING

Japandroids awesome lo-fi debut tapped right into my reckless youthfull side completely bypassing my judgemental beard-stroking pretentious node. Post-nothing’s front cover tells you more about the album than any hyperbole ridden synopsis on a nobodies blog. Just two guys having fun.

For a comparison point Japandroids sound like No Age at their most destructive. But in a bizarre way Japandroids represent the polar opposite of No Age’s art rock tendencies. Post-nothing is all french kissing, beer downing, forgetting where home is and speed skating. I should be turned off by the infantile lyricism but if anything it justifies Japandroids place in best of lists. No pretense just two guys having fun.
