My Top Albums of 2010: Number 10

North Atlantic Oscillation – Grappling Hooks

Named after a fluctuating change in the atmospheric pressure differential that exists between the Icelandic Low & Azores High, North Atlantic Oscillation are a Scottish prog-pop / electro-rock trio who describe themselves as “playing instruments within a computerized wall of sound”. Zane Lowe’s album of the week upon release, NAO’s debut album ‘Grappling Hooks’ is a subtle yet powerful blend of soaring harmonies, loud guitars, dreamlike synths, heavy drums & strange effects here, there & everywhere.
