Lists of Bests: Pitchfork's "Top 50 Albums of 2006" http://www.listsofbests.com/list/21135 "2006 wasn't easily characterized by distinct seismic shifts in independent music's ever-changing topography, or by a select handful of burgeoning new genres. Instead, it was a year of true independence, in which listeners pursued broader palettes, spread music by word of mouth, and openly welcomed increasingly forward-thinking approaches to songcraft."
