49. Nathan Fake - Drowning In A Sea Of Love (2006)
Nathan Fake is a sensation that needs to happen. On his 2009 LP 'Hard Islands' he came straight out of the blocks and ran a techy pace, 'Drowning In A Sea Of Love' though is warmer, fuzzier and well, lovelier. 'Bumblechord' is a nod toward M83 and their electronic blue gaze, while the staccato of 'Grandfathered' sounds like it was made on a Casio keyboard in a delightfully cutesy kind of way.'You Are Here' has a climax the size of a tidal wave, while the sterling 'Long Sunny' proves the drums are certainly there to back up the melodic squiggles. The fact that Fake changes his style a lot helps his evolution and it would be nice to see him get tall acclaim a wee bit soon.
