Top 10 2011

About a month behind everyone else but here's my top 10 albums of 2011 in no order:

Bon Iver - ST
The Head and the Heart - ST
Tune-Yards - w h o k i l l
Liturgy - Aesthetica
Decemberists - The King is Dead
Gang Gang Dance - Eye Contact
My Morning Jacket - Circuital
Panda Bear - Tomboy
The Psychic Paramount - II
Radiohead - King of Limbs
Fleet Foxes - Helplessness Blues


also I am enjoying the Thao and Mirah album more than I thought i would, Kaputt by Destroyer was pretty creative and enjoyable ... like this year's Ariel Pink or something. Also I only listened to the Cults album twice, but it was pretty bubble gum pop enjoyable. There were a shit ton of disappointing albums this year including DCFC, Black Lips, and the Dodos.

Looking forward to the Beirut album a lot. And I just got the new Washed Out album which i think will just be a good album to put on in the background when you're doing pretty much anything. I didn't get why Toro y Moi was so well received, but then again I didn't like his first album all that much either.

Also I think neon indian is putting out another album this year, and das racist has their first non-mixtape coming out which should be awesome.

I feel pretty out of the loop with the indie music scene these days so i'm sure i've probably missed some great albums. Looking at some of the other lists out there I can say i haven't listened to about 75% of the albums on the various lists.
