After the riotous public outcry for the rationale behind my 2011 albums list (one person sarcastically asked for my reasons), I will give the people what they want. Happy New Year.
My reasons (edited):
- St Vincent: Annie Clark is a goddess with a guitar
-Destroyer: An album made in the style of Kenny G jazz that’s incredibly enjoyable = enormous accomplishment
-Nicolas Jaar: Best atmospheric/ambient/electronic/do-household-chores-to music of the year
-Lykke Li: If nothing else, the “Sadness is a Blessing” music video where she pounds back too much vodka
-Dirty Projectors + Bjork: Intense, creepy female vocal harmonies, but mostly creepy in a good way
-tUnE-yArDs: Just listen (writing these reasons is getting tiring; should have predicted this)
-Feist: ibid
-PJ Harvey: War bugles in a rock song
-Radiohead: The emotional baggage (in the sense I can’t shake it) of all my music choices. Therefore even their less than perfect album makes it in
-The Strokes just suck now John. K?
