A lot of excited and exciting debutes hit the scene, a lot of sophomore releases disappointed but that was made up for by one hell of a comeback record for my number one pick. Bring it on 2012!!


startin' off with sweet acoustics...

10. Kurt Vile - Smoke Ring for My Halo


check out this whiskey-drenched quality...

09. Middle Brother - Middle Brother


on to the bar brawl soundtrack of the year...

08. The Rural Alberta Advantage - Departing


skimming over old-timey narratives entailing a sexually charged "beast" figure...

07. Laura Marling - A Creature I Don't Know


touching on glossy pop perfection...

06. Emmy The Great - Virtue


gettin' religious now....

05. Girls - Father, Son, Holy Ghost


be lulled to sleep by the deepest voice in the midwest...

04. Bill Callahan - Apocalypse


before you dance yourself silly to this '60s throwback pop album...

03. Slow Club - Paradise


prepare yourself for the most surprising change in a folk band's sound...(harmonica? gillian Welch? slide guitar? what?)

02. The Decemberists - The King Is Dead


'almost' there....

01. Wilco - The Whole Love
