The fact that Edwyn Collins is even alive is remarkable, to say nothing of his ability to make evocative music. It has been nearly 30 years since he pioneered "indie rock" as we know it with his band Orange Juice, and 15 years since he topped charts worldwide with the utterly perfect "A Girl Like You." Now in his 50s, Collins has released one of 2010's best albums, the tight and tuneful Losing Sleep. He enlists an impressive guest roster, including members of Franz Ferdinand and Drums, to list but a few. The title track, "Do It Again," and "In Your Eyes" are rich, memorable numbers that condense all of Edwyn's fascination with northern soul, 60s guitar pop a la the Beatles and the Byrds, and Motown into pop perfection. He may no longer have the ability to play his distinctive guitar, but his majestic voice and melodic sense are more than in tact, for which we can all be thankful.
