Best of 2010: Albums and Music Videos
As you probably noticed, Silent Shout is a blog, and is therefore morally and legally obligated to post a year-end best-of list. It’s been an excellent year for Canadian electronic music and an excellent inaugural year for Silent Shout. Canada definitely has some of the best indie electronic acts in the world and there are plenty more that we weren’t able to include on this list. That said, here are our champions! Today: our top albums and music videos. Tomorrow and Thursday: our top songs.

Cosmetics Mixtape
Just came across a mixtape that Cosmetics did a month ago for Dazed Digital which shows exactly how well-versed they are in the classics – Suicide, Ruth, Nini Raviolette, and Deux are some of the artists included. Unfortunately, you can’t download it (booo) but you can listen to it encased on the internet. Apparently they’re working on an LP. This pleases us.
Earlier this year, Cosmetics released the Sleepwalking/The Cries, one of the best 7-inches of the year. It’s still available for sale here (search for Cosmetics on the page), or if you must, on iTunes.
