Liste 2014 – Donatello Corona: I Migliori Album
A cura di: Donatello Corona
L’anno delle donne, così può essere definito musicalmente questo 2014; infatti ancor di più dell’anno scorso, molti dei dischi più interessanti hanno portato una firma femminile (Carla Bozulich, Angel Olsen, Grouper, FKA twigs, Sharon Van Etten, St. Vincent, Vashti Bunyan, Marissa Nadler, Pharmakon, Mica Levi, Birds of Passage) o presentano comunque una voce femminile al canto. Ma la stella più splendente dell’anno è quella di Mark Kozelek, che con Benji ci offre un disco che potrebbe venir ricordato tra le migliori pagine autoriali del decennio. Da segnalare anche i notevolissimi dischi di Swans, Wovenhand, Shellac, Current 93 e Flying Lotus, che si confermano sui loro altissimi livelli. In campo d’elettronica da citare il troppo dimenticato Fennesz, autore di uno dei dischi più nel contemporaneo. Ma anche, sia in campo ambient che techno: (Ian William Craig, Andy Stott, Lawrence English, Lakker, Ben Frost, Aphex Twin, A Winged Victory For The Sullen, Arca).
Altri dischi interessanti, per il post rock e affini: (Thee Silver Mt. Zion, The Antlers, Have A Nice Life, Esben and the Witch, Her Name Is Calla) e per il metal: (Thou, Electric Wizard, Earth, Yob, Godflesh, Boris, Agalloch) a cui vanno aggiunti i tanti, troppi, dischi revival. Revival dei più svariati generi, alcuni spudoratamente nostalgici, altri nonostante tutto davvero ben fatti e degni di nota.
