This is the final entry to my favorite music of 2011. There’s so much more I would like to add. I wrestled narrowing it down to only ten. I hope you enjoy the list!
seryn – this is where we are
what a wonderful album to listen to as you write/work. This group from Denton, TX are remarkable. Who know something so un-twangy could come out of Texas? I kid, I kid. Enjoy one of their popular songs, We will all be changed
bon iver – bon iver
I am so grateful that this release finally happened. It was long overdue since their initial full length release in 2007. This music allows me to escape to a more beautify tranquil place. Listen and I think you’ll agree. besides, this music video is by far one of my favorite. Ever. I want that kind of freedom for me – and Caedmon – and everyone else around me.
sunbears – you will live forever
Jonathan Berlin is a freaking genius. Psychedelic Rock to the rescue. Give love a try? Give love a try!
civil wars – barton hollow
The story of how Joy and John Paul met and became an international success at what seems like over a night is awe-inspiring. I’ve probably listened to this album more than any other this year. As much respect I had for their recordings, it grew when I saw them live.
So that’s it for my top music of 2011. Again, I can’t begin to tell you how hard it was to narrow it down to just 10. Those just missing the cut with their latest releases: Wilco, Fleet Foxes, Beirut, John Mark McMillan and James Morrison.
