The last number one of 2013 in the loop, before we begin our annual review, goes to American chanteuse Angel Olsen, taking a bit of a style twist from her folk-infused presentation last year by sounding like a songwriter circa the 90’s grunge era in “Forgiven/Forgotten”, the first taster from her second album “Burn Your Fire For No Witness”, ready to be released in early 2014.
Highest new entry is by the happily returned Prefab Sprout, next to new tracks by some of the strongest candidates to become album of the year such as Arcade Fire; Danny Brown Feat. Purity Ring or Janelle Monáe With Prince; as well as the brand new banger by Norwegian DJ Todd Terje.
