Danielson, "Ships" (Secretly Canadian, 2006).

So this album is filling the Leftfield Hit of the Year spot in my brain; a space occupied last year by Animal Collective's amazing "Feels." Here, there's a little "Feels," a little Fiery Furnaces, a little Flaming Lips, and a little bit of a bunch of other art-rock bands and records starting with the letter "F" that I'm too unhip to have ever heard. As with any experimental art project, there is a lot of back story that the reader can discover. But first, before doing that, just listen to the music. There are some strange and wonderful things happening on this record.
