Instead of our usual weekly top 5 we have decided to put out a list of our favourite releases from the music world in 2011.
- Beach Fossils- What A Pleasure (EP)- This came out way back in March but has never ceased to amaze us, we love everything about it. One of those records you can listen to again and again but never get bored.
- Mazes- A Thousand Heys – After being released in April this album had us hooked for months with ‘Vampire Jive’ being one of our tracks of the year.
- Tom Vek- Leisure Seizure- Tom Vek’s first release after a 5 year break, and yes, it was worth the wait.
- Yuck- Yuck-Grunge revival! Ok it never really took off but this record was the figurehead of the (semi) movement, and it is easy to see why. A great live band as well as delivering in the studio.
- Real Estate- Days-This record hasn’t been out for long but it has had such an impact, and is such an amazing follow up to their debut, it would be impossible to leave out.
- Friends- Friend Crush (7”)- Probably THE buzz band of the year and to release this as their first single it seems right to have them in our top ten.
- Caged Animals- Eat Their Own-A record that can only be adored. It has kept our indie pop cravings at bay since its release.
- Woods- Sun And Shade- Discovered through their side project with Vivian Girls, but grew to be one of our treasured records of the year.
- Blood Orange- Dinner (7”)- DEV HYNES! We don’t need to say much more, we were always going to like this but it was still a pleasant surprise and we enjoyed this single so much, it’s higher than Blood Orange’s album.
- Iceage- New Brigade- 20 minutes of Danish punk brilliance, if you haven’t heard this where have you been!
