#11: Mugison - Mugiboogie
As if being signed to Ipecac Recordings wasn't a good enough description, Mugison's sound can only be described as foreign to American ears. Now that this Icelandic pop star has shown his face in the States, he is going to have to continue to release jaw-dropping music, as he has done on Mugiboogie. The album can't be described nor explained appropriately. You just have to hear it for yourself.
I don't know what it is about these imported artists and their debut albums every year. Mika, Kate Nash, Loney Dear - the list goes on and on. For whatever reason, they seem to top all of the "Best of" charts - at least lately. I'm not disgruntled by this - don't get me wrong. I am into more outlandish and obscure music anyway.
The song "To the Bone" is good enough to be on rock radio. "Deep Breathing" and "The Animal" could be seen as favorites of others as well.
Mugison is undoubtedly the best thing to come out of Iceland since Bjork. Give this artist a few more years and he could perhaps surpass Bjork as the master of the country.
