The returning of some of indie
rocks finest in 2013 has been something of a mixed bag. There was the
reformation of cult legends My Bloody Valentine in February, met with a quietly
rapturous reception for their album mbv. At
another end of the spectrum, Vampire Weekend produced arguably their best work
with Modern Vampires of the City and
The National followed up the a string of highly-acclaimed with the seemingly solid Trouble Will Find Me. Elsewhere bands
such as Yeah Yeah Yeahs and supergroup Atoms For Peace returned with output
that wasn’t bad, but hardly consistently to the standard that you know both
band’s could produce.
