  AP Ranks Zee Avi as One of the Best Albums of the Year!

  Today the Associated Press released their yearly ranking of the best albums of 2009, coming in at #9 is Zee Avi's Self Titled album!

  
  

  "9. "Zee Avi," Zee Avi: Listening to Zee Avi might make you recall Kimya Dawson's quirky lyrical style, but the Malaysian-born Avi has an eclecticism all her own on her debut CD. Her voice sounds dreamy, her lyrics smart and humorous. And paired with her acoustic picking, she sounds intoxicating."
