The second album by Montreal art-rock group Corridor smashes through both artistic and language barriers to a place in this list. A colourful collision of technical ingenuity and emotional harmonies, you’ll find it a compelling listen even if you don’t understand Quebecois French. There’s maybe shades of Preoccupations, The Byrds, Television et al, but ‘Supermercado’ definitely marks out its own space. Try out ‘Data Fontaine’ and ‘Coup D’epee’ and wonder at why this album passed you by.
