- Coldplay, “Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall” “I turn the music up/I got my records on/I shut the world outside until the lights come on,” sings Chris Martin, offering music as succor at a time when the economy was in the tank and the world was looking bleak.
- Bryson Tiller, “Exchange” The trap-soul crooner’s signature ballad unfolds like an illusion. The deceptively sweet song utilizes a sample of K.P. and Envyi’s “Shorty Swing My Way,” in order to induce a dopamine rush of easy nostalgia, and Tiller’s voice acts like an everyman, both tender and pleading, without ever dipping into virtuosic vocal acrobatics.
- The 1975, “Love It If We Made It” “I’m writing something, and I’m just essentially adding to it every time i get really angry,” Matty Healy said of the 1975’s sparkling goblet of societal bile, “Love It If We Made It.”
- Justin Timberlake, “Mirrors” Timberlake pushed at the limits of his heartthrob image and soul-inheritor sound throughout the decade, most persuasively on the seven-minute “Mirrors,” giving plush R&B crooning a prog-rock redesign thanks to Timbaland’s immaculate production.

Alternative metal heroes Deftones are one of the most consistent groups out there, and if you look back at the list of their nine studio albums, you’ll see that none are duds. From their debut, 1995’s Adrenaline, to their last outing, 2020’s Ohms, they produce multifaceted bodies of work that have increasingly toed the line between punishing and me...
Emerging amid the indie slew of the mid-2000s, The Maccabees were an outfit that pushed onto ever-progressive realms beyond many of their old peers. Given To The Wildwas an album that marked the zenith of their rise to new artistic heights. With swirling sounds and experiential wonder in the songwriting, they remain a gleaming gem in both decades. ...
Good music evokes a feeling of some sort. Young Fathers are impossible to ignore. The feeling they induce is often one akin to a perturbing fear. There is so much energy in their music that the beat proves infectious. The sky gets a little darker when you play ‘In My View’, and life becomes more cinematic. This moodiness helps to deliver a sagaciou...
A gloriously blunt take on sex work, Alex Cameron brings all the autonomy and pride, minus the shame and judgment, to an adult entertainment industry figure in ‘Far From Born Again’. Cameron paints a protagonist who is in control and in demand, taking full advantage of her own assets while those who can’t understand are stuck at home practising sel...
Disco never really died. Its reverberations were felt in the pop and dance music that came out in the decades to come, even if nobody dared say the dreaded D word. Daft Punk knew that some of music’s true geniuses lived in that world (they’d been stealing from Giorgio Moroder for years at that point) and they tapped a real icon to bring it back en ...
The world wasn’t exactly clamouring for grand indie-country from a pseudonymous gay cowboy in a bondage mask, but most people don’t know what’s good for them anyway. Ponyis full of dramatic turns, but ‘Hope to Die’ is the most ambitious, from the hushed intro to the gradual ramping up of intensity and instrumentation to the ridiculous final key cha...
California duo Foxygen have been delivering the heady sounds of the sunshine state since 2005. They’ve released six albums to date and a slew of EPs, and their fusion of baroque pop and psychedelia is enough to quench even the bluest of days. Their most significant body of work came in the form of 2013’s We Are the 21st Century Ambassadors of Peace...
Taken from the deep trenches of Nick Cave and Warren Ellis’ hard rock outfit Grinderman and their 2010 LP Grinderman 2, ‘Palaces of Montezuma’ is a standout moment from the beginning of the decade. It’s far removed from the debonair connoisseur of creativity that Cave would become later in the decade. Here we have the uncaged animal often prowling ...
Pairing spacey rock instrumentations with brooding baritone vocals, it became commonplace to call The National a modern Joy Division in the 2010s. With Trouble Will Find Me, Matt Berringer and the band effectively broke the mould and created their own identity through sheer force of will and great songwriting. The one link from past to present was ...
Brighton-based alt-rock group, The Wytches, brought their dark, gritty sound to our ears in full force with their 2014 debut album, Annabel Dream Reader. Drawing on grunge, punk and garage rock influences, the band established a unique sound characterised by reverberated, shrieking guitar runs and Kristian Bell’s entrancing vocals. The LP was packe...
