In thinking about the end of this year coming up in a month or so, I decided to go through my music collection. I came across the “Dark Was the Night” CD, which features a lot of artists teaming up. These include: Andrew Bird, Bon Iver, The Books featuring Jose Gonzalez, Cat Power and Dirty Delta Blues, The Decemberists, Dirty Projectors + David Byrne, Feist, Grizzly Bear, Iron & Wine, The National, The New Pornographers, Dave Sitek (TV On The Radio), Spoon, Sufjan Stevens, Yeasayer, and Yo La Tengo, to name a few.
One of my favorite tracks from the CD is Yeasayer’s “Tightrope.” It fits in very nicely with the rest of the CD and powerfully exemplifies their strong musical talent. The Brooklyn-based experimental group focuses heavily on their rhythms in this song, which is complimented by breath taking vocals. The compilation was released by 4AD Recordings and is definitely one of the best works produced from 2009.
