Top 20 Albums of 2010. Number 17.

17. Surfer Blood - Astro Coast
Surfer Blood know the value of simplicity and a contagious melody, and that's what Astro Coast does well. Providing a consistent, well-crafted, traditional indie rock album, Astro Coast proves to be more than a one-hit wonder, more than a buzz-and-bust blog band. Surfer Blood is undeniably good at those punchy vocals and rolling melodies, with Twin Peaks and Swim being tour-de-force stand-out jams that threaten to make the rest of the album blend together into nine tracks of anonymity. Which could’ve been the case, if those other nine tracks weren’t so good.
