Best of 2011

More than a reflection on the events that changed my life this year I enjoy sharing what sounds accompanied that particular journey

Enjoy

The Drums-Portamento

I absolutely hated this band when they came out but it just clicked at one point. I love listening to their music on warm sunny days in California. Pop music that isn't afraid to try unconventional arrangements



Dum Dum Girls-Only in Dreams

An introspective album about losing a family member or anyone close to you. Fun energetic album with lyrics that pay tribute to those lost



Explosions in the Sky- Take Care, Take Care, Take Care

Always anticipating new material from EITS. Officially my favorite band for years now I loved this album and thought it was better than All Of A Sudden I Miss Everyone. I saw them perform this album outdoors at the Hollywood Cemetery and hands down, it was one of the best shows I have ever seen.



St Vincent-Strange Mercy

Probably the second most anticipated album for me this year. I love how this album just has a raw feel to it. Annie Clark can do no wrong and this is her best album to date
