Beulah Land

Uncle Wiggly's Favorite Albums of 2007 which may or may not be in any order at all:

• Silvester Anfang- Kosmies Schlactaval (Belgo cult mutants rape the corpse of freak folk, best album cover and artwork of the year= pictures of goats and girls licking skulls)
  
• 16 Bitch Pile-Up- Bury Me Deep (imaginary 80s slasher soundtrack from the queens of noise. sound effects pounding the inside of your brain. headphone album of the year)
  
• Panda Bear- Person Pitch (now let's stop talking about how sweet it is)
  
• Cadaver in Drag- Raw Child (pure fucking evil, Julian Cope's album of the month so you know it's good, right?)
  
• The Bad Trips- s/t (amazing.)
  
• Flower/Corsano Duo- The Radiant Mirror (stonedrone masterpiece)
  
• Wooden Shjips- s/t (or anything else they put out this year...)
  
• Kemialliset Ystavat- s/t (these fairie-piss-drinkers continue to raise the bar for finnish psych folk noise)
  
• Burning Star Core- Amelia (well, everything C Spencer Yeh put out this year ruled, but this one got the most plays on my stereo)
  
• Group Inerane- Guitars From Agadez (best Sublime Frequencies release yet? heavy Nigerian guitar sounds that kicks that overproduced Tiniwaren album's ass)
• Sword Heaven- Entrance (intense feral monstrosity from one of my favorite live acts of the year)
  
• Caribou- Andorra (the perfect summer album... two months too late. thank goodness for the internets)
  
• Eric Copeland- Hermaphrodite (too fucked for words)
  
• Hair Police- The Empty Quarter (they rule.)
  
• Black Dice- Load Blown (if you're too cool to dance, get the fuck out of the way)
  
• Blues Control- Puff (this is what tangerine dream should sound like)
  
• Acid Eater- Virulent Fuzz Punk A.C.I.D. (Masonna reincarnated as the second coming of ? & the Mysterians. it was bound to happen eventually...)
• Islaja- Ulual yyy (maybe not her best record, but give me a couple months and i'll be laying on the floor crying uncontrollably while listening to it. thumbs up for pulling off the addition of saxophones)
  
• Mats Gustafsson & Yoshimi- Words on the Floor (ummm... wow.)

you can find a bunch of these in the archives. or you could go buy them, jerk. i'm probably forgetting a bunch of great records, but it was a busy year. here's to another year of mind-melting music!
