I’ve decided to list 25 albums that will get shafted/overlooked on this 2009′s Best Albums of the Year Lists.

Check back each day for a new addition to the list. (no particular order)

5. Lightning Dust – Infinite Light

mp3: Lightning Dust – “Dreamer”

Two of the years best releases came from Black Mountain side projects involving Amanda Webber’s Grace Slick-like quivering vocals. While Pink Mountaintops is still very much about Mr. Stephen McBean, Lightning Dust is all about Webber and her hauntingly beautiful voice. In 2008, she gave us “Night Walks” on Black Mountain’s incredible sophomore record. With Lightning Dust she gives us an album full of songs from that magnificent breed, particularly the sensational “Dreamer.”

Surprisingly, both albums by Pink Mountaintops and Lightning Dust have gone horribly overlooked in 2009 by critics who are overly focused on shit-gaze, glo-fi, chillwave, and other subgenres that have always existed, just without the hip names.
