"The function of music is precisely that of a fetish, of some fascinating presence which function is to conceal an anxiety, an opium for the people to help alleviate an unbearable anxiety" - Slavoj Žižek

Agalloch's newest album is so beautiful. The purely instrumental track is a great way to begin the album, and it ends with a purely instrumental clip too. There are more clean vocals in this album compared to past albums, and the tracks are lengthier. I think that this album has a very haunting quality to it, the ambient elements are a nice touch, as are the sounds of nature. Everytime I listen to their album or any other album of theirs, I envision images of nature, which has a very calming effect for me. That's probably why I love their music so much.
So psyched to hear Agalloch live in March, this will certainly be a concert highlight of the year.
And that concludes my list for my favourite albums of 2010. There are a bunch of albums I didn't get the chance to listen to, so looking back at the list I might have changed a few things. Hope you enjoyed the list!

This album too a while to grow on me. And grow it has.
ReplyDeleteIt deserves a place on my list, but I just want to be done with that now.
