Records of 2010 - 26. Jónsi - Go This is a true heavyweight of an album. When it came out in Spring, it was like waking up to true techni-colour. Like all his music with Sigur Rós, "Go" is just adorable. You've pretty much got 2 virtuosos working together on this one. Nico Muhly copies and pastes the production like a student with quotes on a shit essay; the main difference being that this isn't shit. It's brilliant. The voice of the creator is better than ever, his range just utterly incredible, combining with Muhly's scuttling production on "Animal Arithmetic" with fizzy effect. However, it's "Boy Lilikoi" that provides that devastatingly beautiful moment that makes you think"You know what? This is the 26th best album to be released in 2010."
