My Favorite Songs of 2012
Trust -- Shoom
Bleak gothic synth-pop. As good as "Sulk" is, this one is better. Three distinct movements. At 02:28, we are transported into another dimension...
Dinosaur Jr. -- Watch the Corners
A '90s band I never appreciated in situ, being familiar with them only by flipping from Depeche Mode to Dr. Dre at the record store. I recently happened upon the albums from their late '00s revival and found them quite good. The centerpiece of any latter-day Dinosaur Jr. song is the J. Mascis guitar solo, and here we get a soulfully soaring one for our listening pleasure, kicking in with a satisfying crunch at 02:56 and continuing for a gloriously solid minute-and-a-half to close the song.
