Actually the only artists on my list who I wasn't familiar with until this year was Kendrick Lamar and Tim Hecker. Still I'll take the kind words none the less.

It also makes me happy that two other people have listed *Shels' Plains of the Purple Buffalo but riddle me this, WHERE THE HELL WHERE YOU WHEN I WAS TRYING TO GET A DISCUSSION GOING ON THEM BACK IN JULY WHEN THE ALBUM DROPPED! For the amount of post-rock love on this forum, I was pretty disappointed that only one or two people showed any interest.

I posted about their debut album Sea of the Dying Dhow which came out in 2007 and got no response ages back so don't fret about it!

Part and parcel of being on musicbanter I'm afraid, the amount of bands I've been hugely passionate about that have gained zero response...

Your list has made me realise how much I'm yet to to listen to this year. I didn't even know The Ladybug Transistor had a new album out. And that Hateful Abandon album is a 2011 release?!

Imma try compose a list myself later in the year. This is actually the first year I've bought new albums (yeah, I know it's pretty sad). Mostly mainstream albums I've picked from RYM's top 100 list.

Anyway, a probable list would include (in no specific order):

Shabazz Palaces - Black Up (love this one)
Gang Gang Dance - Eye Contact (and this one)
Radiohead - The King of Limbs
Bon Iver - Bon Iver, Bon Iver
Girls - Father, Son, Holy Ghost
Tom Waits - Bad As Me
Sivert Høyem - Long Slow Distance
Bernhoft - Solidarity Breaks

I know of them, right on. I'll check it out later. I'm still excited about more Liquid Sound Company, which I just got a hold of.

Phantom Limb · 10-22-2011, 12:37 PM

1. The Psychic Paramount- II
2. St. Vincent- Strange Mercy
3. Shabazz Palaces- Black Up
4. Trash Talk- Awake EP
5. Panda Bear- Tomboy
6. Iceage- New Brigade
7. Tim Hecker- Ravedeath, 1972
8. Action Bronson- Dr. Lecter
9. Radiohead- The King of Limbs
10. Bon Iver- Bon Iver

Not a whole lot of amazing albums this year. KoL making it into my top ten is proof of that.

I like a few songs from Das Racist's Relax.
