2015 SHORTLIST (?)



December, there is no list for best album or best original song of 2015, yep sorry...  of course... there are a lot of fantastic music albums, ep's and song picks from this dark dark dark year of mine - Shilpa Ray, Courtney Barnett, Julia Holter, Deerhoof, Jenny Hval, Beach House, U.S Girls, Lower Dens, Sleaford Mods, Faith No More, Rosa Vertov, Mount Moriah, Sleater-Kinney, Grimes just to name few, but 2015 will be forever known as the year of one of the great discoveries on youtube - Suburban Lawns - a post-punk/new wave band formed in Long Beach, California, back in the late 70's. Their sole and unique album released in 1981 by Suburban Industrial, I.R.S. Records was like a kick that traveled through time (delorean?!) and just hit between my legs. This full-length is a real pre-Sugarcubes "life's too good" album without Björk but with an quite exquisite, intriguing, underrated lead vocalist: Susan Mclane aka Su Tissue and supported by Frankie Ennui (Richard Whitney), John Gleur (John McBurney), Vex Billingsgate and Chuck Roast (Charles Rodriguez). This year a redux version with four extra tracks was released by the label Futurismo. Suburban Lawns lives!

So... BEST ALBUM of 2015?!

01. SUBURBAN LAWNS - 'S/T' redux  (CD Digipak / LP Lawn Sprinkler / LP Flying Saucer, 2015 Futurismo nº12)
