Some of my personal discoveries of 2010: Would you like to share yours? Gablé http://gable1.free.fr/ Saw them live in Iceland. Amazing set... I hope their future recordings will capture what I heard that night. Patrick Watson http://www.patrickwatson.net/ I had been aware of him (and his band) for a while, but this yaer I had the chance to spend considerable time with his newest release (wooden arms). Tune-yards http://tune-yards.com/ I'm bit late to this party, but I'm glad I made it after all. Really nice blend of folky sensibilities and (at times) musique conrète rhythm. Very low-fi. if then do http://www.ifthendo.ca/ Local band of laptop musicians. No synthesis, but rely entirely on modifying recorded sounds. Michel F. Côté http://www.actuellecd.com/en/bio/cote_mi/ I've listned to his Compil zouave more than anything else this year: http://www.actuellecd.com/en/cat/am_067/ Sylvain
