Top ten 2009 - Soulsavers, Broken

The more I listen to this album, the more I’m touched by the intricacies that make it a classic: the relentless lead guitars played by someone who just doesn’t know when to say enough is enough; the understated vocal support from Red Ghost that tempers the emotion of lead vocalist Mark Lanegan; or the subtle clinking of ice cubes as two of rock's finest share a microphone over a whiskey.

I’ve already given this album its dues (see Where Have I Been?), so let’s move on. The end of the year is nigh.

What to listen out for.
Unbalanced Pieces, Some Misunderstanding, Praying Ground

When to listen to it.
After a break-up. This will guide you through all the necessary highs and lows and eventually leave you rejoicing.

Will we hear them again?
Undoubtedly. Soulsavers have a strong cult following and their third album will have done enough moments to pique the interests of the mainstream.
