Top Tracks 2014 Part VI 59 - 50
59. clipping – Body and
Blood (CLPPNG)
The industrial hollow beat of this track is one of the most skillful moments of 2014. The lyrics, not so much. The producers in clipping utilize the sounds of drills interwoven with white noise and a guttural beat to convey the feeling of fetishism in a brilliant way. Hopefully there will be a instrumental cut from the whole album soon.

58. Adna – Limit (Night)
Simple, heartfelt and without much ado, Swedish singer Adna emerged with her debut early this year. The distant guitars with the walloping bass and the military drumming deliver a wonderfully spacious backdrop for Adna´s sober voice in Limit. The intimacy she projects will take her places.
Listen here.
57. Kerretta – Ossein Trail (Pirohia)
If there is one instrumental band you should see live for the ultimate hearing experience leading to the loss of hearing capacity, it must be Kerretta. With Pirohia they progressed their narrative of ardent and complex instrumental bliss even further. Ossein Trails is like an endeavor in the world of physics, from the smallest strings to complex planetary systems, enveloping and stacking up on each other. This music might be what one could call the transparent eye-ball in under six minutes.
56. Tokyo Police Club – Argentina (Forcefield)
For everyone who likes his songs as long as possible, almost every song and album by Tokyo Police Club left a feeling of wanting more. With Argentina the dazzling rockers redeem themselves. A track in three parts, which blend into each other seamlessly and show off a writing skill unprecedented in previous efforts.
55. Tinariwen – Emajer (Emmaar)
Although it might sound like a cliché and very easy association, Tinariwen convey the feeling of the desert Bedouin iconically with their music. Emajer has the feeling of the band sitting and jamming the night away, lit only by fire and the stars. It´s uplifting and dreamy and perfect music for travel, physically or by mind only.
54. Jakob – Emergent (Sines)
Speaking of travel, Jakob are the unbeaten masters of contemplative rock music. Emergent is water, there is other way to put it. The element in its purest form, neither flowing nor standing still. It took Jakob seven years to come back, but only five minutes to make up for their absence.
53. Rustie – Attak feat. Danny Brown (Green Language)
This is the definite track of Green Language. Danny Brown in all his extremity flows perfectly over Rustie´s sharp and adamantine production. The track plays as a fight between the MC and the beat, ending in both looking to triumph each other in abrasiveness.
52. Liars – Mask Maker (Mess)
Mask Maker is a LSD trip gone bad in the best sense. The menacing voice, the stretchy synths sound like losing your shit and succumbing to paranoia as the seconds progress. The whole song could be the endless purgatory of intoxication – time expanding to haunt you even if in reality only five minutes pass.

51. Dying Sun – Stillness (Transcendence)
When I like one aspect of doom metal, it is the meditative vibe. A prayer said with droning guitars and vocals deep as Buddhist mantra chanting. Stillness delivers greatly on this notion, even transforming to a seething calling of the things lying above and a screeching blast of flagellation.
50. Vince Staples – Blue Suede (Hell Can Wait)
Another killer hip hop beat of this year. The eerie sound and short bass hits in the beginning hint at something great and the gratification is soon given. Vince Staples rides the beat flawlessly and while remaining shallows through and through, firms this aural psychedelia.
