Jay Reatard -- Matador Singles '08

  Still very power punk'd but sliding more towards indie rock ... I have to admit that I prefer when artists like Jay diversify into their softer side, it shows they are more than a one trick pony, it's just too f*cking bad he was taken away from us while he was on the cusp of real greatness!!

Ty Segall -- Sleeper

  Totally dropping his hard edge garage punk sound and picking up a serious psych folk style incorporating Neil Young with T. Rex.  Written in memory of his recently deceased father.  I'm sure lots of his loyal fans are thinking what the f*ck about this very mature record ... while I'm thinking it's about time!!
