Music is an integral part of this blog, so I am sharing with you my favorite albums of the past year. You might notice that a couple of the titles were released in late 2009, but I’ve included them because 2010 was their real exposure year. I’ve chosen a few music videos from each album, so you can get a taste of the sound if you’re not familiar with it.

In addition to having a very solid debut with their album Acolyte, British band Delphic complement their sound with engaging and unique music videos. The Manchester boys are a definite musical highlight and personal favorite of 2010. Check out their videos after the jump.


We shine our music spotlight on Diamond Rings (real name John O’Regan). The 25 year-old emerging Canadian talent recently released his debut album 'Special Affections', combining electro-pop goodness with emotive smart lyrics (which is rather refreshing in this time of silly and meaningless songwriting). I’ve been listening to the album for a few weeks and I highly recommend it. Watch a couple of Diamond Rings music videos and listen to the whole album after the jump.

Known to my ears as the guy behind the amazing In For The Kill by La Roux remix [listen on YouTube], Skream (real name, Ollie Jones) is releasing a new album, Outside the Box. Directed by David Wilson, the music video for the single Listenin' To The Records On My Wall is a captivating visual feast that draws inspiration from the biblical story of creation of Adam (played by Benedict Smith) & Eve (Harriet Shillito). Enjoy the music video (NSFW) and a behind the scenes clip after the jump.

Enjoy watching them in chronological order after the jump.
