Undertheradar's Top 10 Albums of 2008

It's been an interesting year with some amazing albums being released, which really goes to show that there is always more space to explore in the musical medium

There's been a ton of top class albums that have come out this year but here's our over all top 10 (Make sure to comment below and let us know yours)

	Deerhunter - Microcastle The long awaited album by Deerhunter, the group that has teased us all year with their perfect pop, psychedelic, indie.
	Body Corporate - Howlaround It's an album of guitar rich pop-indie-post /experimental-rock flavours with a kind of pulsing undertone that moves this record along.
	No Age - Nouns Few and far between I hear albums that sound as pure as this, music back to the fundamentals at which it was inspired.
	Collapsing Cities Elixer Always An Auckland band that has promised so much over the last years deliver their debut album with out an inch of disappointment.
	Vampire Weekend - Vampire Weekend Holy hell, what is this? Fun, danceable, rebellious, fresh. The new album by up and comers Vampire Weekend is an album full of pop/white reggae/indie tunes that i'm going to use to keep my summer going just that little bit longer.
	HDU - Metamathics Metamathics is HDUs 4th album and it’s as rich and diversive as they ever were.
	Santogold - Santogold This album shocked me. The stunning self titled album from Santogold, burst forth and claimed the entire music industry with one verse.
	Cobra Khan - Helgorithms Oh lordy, Cobra Khan has returned with a vengeance. You could have expected an album with a radio angle but instead Cobra Khan have totally re-invented themselves with a sound that could surely see them take on NZ but easily further ashore.
	Pivot - O Soundtrack My Heart What a welcome surprise. The New album by Australian electronic (and I use that term in the best sense of the word) band Pivot is an ensemble of tunes from borderline glitch to outright math rock.
	TV On The Radio - Dear Science TV On The Radio continue down their path of being at the forefront of imaginative new music that can still go down live and confuse even the most genre dependent music lovers.
