Seth Frightening

I enjoy music, and I also enjoy making lists. As I host a radio show, I like to present a list of my favourite albums of the year (here is 2009's). And I'm sorry to spoil it for you, but my favourite album of this year is Seth Frightening's The Prince and His Madness. It's just incredible, and has been a daily listen for the last month at least.
I wasn't that in to it at first - it's haunting, fragile, and repetitive. But these are the parts that have really grown on me. As an album, it's an astonishing piece of work.
I don't think I can recommend this enough. You can have a listen here, and buy a physical copy from here.
