33. The Microphones "The Glow Pt. II"
 The album opens with two acoustic guitars picking a simple line, and then the vocals come in, followed by drums, and then a fuzzy guitar jumps in the mix too. The album moves gracefully and builds with an equal agility never once tripping over its own feet, in other words the transitions are perfect and it adds alot to the album. If they weren't perfect I don't think that album would move the way it does, like a dancer. One song slowly dipping into the next until before you know it the album is over. Something that needs its own attention on this album are the lyrics. Phil Elvrum is a spectacular write. So i'll quote my favorite verses. Oh what a loss My soft hands replaced by claws You turned me into a stray dog, from mighty human man Oh what a loss Oh what a loss I miss my closest friend And now I cling to rocks and wind It's a precious thing we lost You tore a hole so deep my leak poured out torrentially But now I'm bored My bloody flow is slowed so I can be bored near you Oh, what a loss It didn't show its head until mine was torn and thrown at you And back it grew With glassy eyes locked in contact on the couch with you Oh, boring face We're losing touch I reached and my extended hand went through Now we both know what we have to do We found a precious place in the sand right out in the wind And we laid under a blanket and heard the furious sound The roar of waves, the pounding surf, two bodies on the earth It was intense just getting to be there next to you And you trying to get me then, and I was happy to let you in. This album is one of the most beautiful and best indie-folk albums ever. All the acoustic guitars, the spectacular drumming, the fuzzy production, childlike production and breathtaking lyrics. It takes you on a trip, sometimes soft, sometimes loud but always intense and riddled with themes of life and death, the wilderness and the human body. Favorite Song: I Felt Your Shape MySpace.com - the microphones - SAN DIEGO, California - Indie - www.myspace.com/theglowpt2 32. Emily Haines & The Soft Skeleton "Knives Don't Have Your Back"  "When I was a little kid…I would creep downstairs to the piano and write rudimentary songs about imaginary places. I’m told the first song I ever wrote was a love song to a cranberry tree. I always used the mute pedal. I hated the idea of anybody hearing me. Everywhere I’ve lived while working with Metric, I’ve written songs on the piano and played them for no one. On the advice of a friend, I decided I’d better start recording them before they were forgotten. Four meandering years later I ended up with this collection of songs featuring a few of my favorite people, a group I call The Soft Skeleton." Emily Haines's side project, which is primarily a solo project is (in my opinion) much better than Metric. The songs have a very soulful feel to them, dealing with loneliness, drugs and sexual suicide this release is enchanting. Her music is similar to Ben Folds but not as upbeat, more similar to Nick Drake and with a whispery voice akin to Elliott Smith. The mood of these songs is kind of a drink in the hand, sitting in the dark contemplative sort of mood. While in the corner a somber voice belts out lines like "Cursed with a love that you can't express / It's not for a fuck, or a kiss / Rather give the world away than wake up lonely." Favorite Song: Crowd Surf Off A Cliff MySpace.com - Emily Haines - CA - Black Metal - www.myspace.com/emilyhaines 31. The Shins "Oh, Inverted World"  Ah what to say about the Shins. My love for them has only become huge recently mostly attributed to long walks around town with a camera and listening to New Slang on repeat. In alot of ways the Shins are one of the most essential Northwest indie bands, you can hear the climate and mood deeply embedded in their sound, from the lyrics dealing with small towns to the very oceanesque influence they seem to have which echoes Brian Wilson except with a much much somber mood. while the Wilson was all about girls, surfing and California the Shins were more about getting away and the dark and rocky coasts of Washington and Oregon. Favorite Song: New Slang MySpace.com - The Shins - Portland, OREGON - Indie - www.myspace.com/theshins
