All Amoebites were asked to list their top five favorite releases from the first half of 2009 and beyond! We then had a team of experts decipher some cryptic handwriting, analyze the results and compile the lists into this little book! We hope you find the results interesting and useful!

This is the third full-length release for Portland, Oregon-based Liz Harris and marks a departure of sorts from her previously-established sound. She turns down the fuzz boxes, which caged (and to some degree defined) her sound, and allows her voice to ring out above everything else. It is an album steeped in the world of dream-pop, full of perfect, left-field pop songs.
