We’re pretty sure come this time next year a lot of people are going to be including Skaters debut ‘Manhattan’ in their end of year top 10 lists for 2014. We’ve really enjoyed the first tastes off it and have waxed lyrical about them numerous times on this here blog.
We reached out to the guys ahead of their world domination next year and asked them to give us their top 10 records of 2013 and a sentence about each one and they happily obliged with some great choices, here they be below and stay tuned to Cool Accidents for more info on the guys as it comes to hand.
Blood Orange - Cupid Deluxe
Feels like what Prince would be doing if he was 25 in 2013.
Porches - Slow Dance from the Cosmos
Sick Brooklyn band. Favorite new singer. Great arrangements.
Disclosure - Settle
Really pretty dance songs in minor keys.
Danny Brown - Old
Causes way too many smiles and “oh shit!"s. His delivery keeps you on your toes throughout.
Iceage - You’re Nothing
That song Morals is fucking beautiful.
Foxygen - We are the 21st Century Ambassadors of Peace & Magic
The Kinks! They do everything on this record, where will they go from here?
Krill - Lucky Leaves
Shows that two guitars and drums can get it done. Basically no production value, just super talented dudes with basic set ups.
Splashh - Comfort
It’s a Pixies and Deer Hunter baby. what’s not to like?
Pissed Jeans - Honey
Crazy Record, We played with them at a festival in Sweden and it was the most energetic entertaining show we saw all year.
Guerilla Toss - Gay Disco
Just heard this today, so maybe it’s temporary, maybe I’m still trying to wrap my head around it, but it’s fucking cool!
