POETRY’S TOP TRACKS OF 2013

It’s that time of year again — the time in which the year’s best ear candy is served up in one delicious location for your listening pleasure. Unlike last year, however, I’ve streamlined my ‘best of’ index into a selective top ten list — so you KNOW they’re the cream of the crop.

Cheers to CHVRCHES, Disclosure and Arctic Monkeys amongst others for bringing us their indie A-game in 2013. So basically, well done to the UK; thanks for the aural alchemy. All of these artists made an impact on the music scene this past year in a major way — so if you see some cross-collaboration, well, there’s a reason. Without further ado, I present my top picks for 2013:

1. Disclosure – Latch (ft. Sam Smith)

 

Bonus: Disclosure – “F For You” (TEED Remix)

 

2. CHVRCHES – “Recover”

 

3. Dillon Francis – “Without You” (ft. TEED)

 

4. AlunaGeorge x Disclosure – “White Noise”

 

5. Arctic Monkeys – “Do I Wanna Know?”

 

6. MS MR – “Think of You”

 

7. Bombay Bicycle Club – “Carry Me”

 

8. BANKS – “Change”

 

9. Kanye West – “Blood On the Leaves”

 

10. London Grammar – “Strong”

 

Bonus: London Grammar – Wasting My Young Years (Sound Remedy Remix) + Free DL

 

And last but not least, the award for Best Remix of the Year goes to:

Grizzly Bear – “Will Calls” (Diplo Remix)
