Now of course he won’t mention it on his list because he’s too modest. But The Spectacular Fantastic’s Avalanche Lane release was among the best of 2009. Detmer packs more ideas into 15 minutes than most artists do on three albums.

I really want to love the Polvo album but the mixes sound so crushed, it like listening to a sine wave. I think the songs sound great, but back off the compression!
