TOP 2008 • 40-31

40. The Walkmen - You & Me

"You & Me porte la marque des albums sans concessions, magma musical habilement encadré, baroque et tendre, traversé de vagues nostalgiques. Indispensable."
DJ Duclock, duclock.blogspot.com

Long Time Ahead Of Us (MP3)

39. Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago

"L'incroyable voix aiguë et réverbérée de Justin ainsi que sa très belle plume sont les vedettes de cet opus qui vous emmènera dans les tréfonds de la forêt de votre imagination : le voyage sera ardu mais libérateur et jouissif au final."
Saab, With Music In My Mind

Skinny Love (MP3)

38. Orouni - Jump Out The Window

"Album frais et printanier empli de mélodies tantôt galopantes, tantôt mélancoliques (mais invariablement attachantes), Jump Out The Window respire la sincérité par tous les pores."
Jeff, Goûte Mes Disques

37. Vampire Weekend - Vampire Weekend

"Vampire Weekend a réussi à attendre la quasi-perfection pop sur 35 minutes. [...] C'en est presque inquiétant pour la suite: qu'est-ce qu'ils peuvent faire de plus que ça?"
Erwan, The Man Of Rennes Steals Our Hearts

M79 (Daytrotter session) (MP3)

36. The Moondoggies - Don't Be A Stranger

"The Moondoggies are The Band and My Morning Jacket. They’re Southern Rock meets The Arcade Fire in an elevator when Belle & Sebastian get on with their arm wrapped around The Grateful Dead."
b kramer, Aquarium Drunkard

Changing (MP3)

35. Old Crow Medicine Show - Tennessee Pusher

"They are not purist, they are not alternative, they are not folk, they are not rock, they are not country. They might have been punks. Or they could have. Anyway. Their new album, Tennessee Pusher is a killer."
David F Keller, davidfkeller.blogspot.com

Methamphetamine (MP3)

34. Conor Oberst - Conor Oberst & The Mystic Valley Band

"Cette joie est réellement la valeur ajoutée du disque, car elle en définit l'identité, voire même sa raison d'être : Conor Oberst n'avait sans doute pas d'autre vocation que de prendre du plaisir à écrire et jouer ce disque."
Michaël Choisi, Popnews

33. Crooked Fingers - Forfeit/Fortune

"An 11-song set of dusty, horn-laden, highway driving, drink-spilling heartache that stands as the group's most solid piece of work to date." James Christopher Monger, AllMusic

Your Control [feat. Neko Case] (MP3)

32. Liz Durrett - Outside Our Gates

"Outside Our Gates may be her most satisfying album to date, but more crucially, despite the crowd of guests, it's definitely the most hers."
Stephen M Deusner, Pitchfork

Wild As Them (MP3)

31. Jason Collett - Here's To Being Here

"Here's To Being Here is the best kind of homage, a folk-gospel-blues mash-up that sounds like it could be The Velvet Underground's critically adored long-lost country record, if such a thing existed."
Amanda Petrusich, A.V. Club
