The Best Music I Heard All Year, 2007 Edition: The Runners-Up.

As always, my (very late) list of favorite albums I heard in 2007 is limited to just that, which includes albums I missed the first go-round. (This is why none of these albums are actually from 2007.)

The three runners-up, in alphabetical order:

1. Eluvium, Talk amongst the Trees (2005).

Ghostly, static haze lingering at the portals of perception.

2. Simon Dawes, Carnivore (2006)

Brash, immensely enjoyable power pop.

3. Some Tweetlove, Cafard Mondial (2006)

If only for the shivering beauty of "La Nostalgie Des Hauts-Fourneaux".
