Let me start by saying nothing in 2011 has come close to the affection I still have for my two favorite records of 2010: The Walkmen's masterful Lisbon and Blake Mills' so-good-why-the-fuck-haven't-y ou-listened-to-it-yet Break Mirrors . But that's not to say 2011 hasn't been a great year in music. In fact, I don't think I've ever discovered so many favorite new bands (Natural Child, Stone Darling, Breakfast In Fur, Marisa Anderson, Mikal Cronin, Bare Wires, Future Islands, Braids, etc.) in a single year. The internet has created so many minute niches catered by small communities, micro DIY labels, [...]

Words by Brendan This show made me wax contemplative in the post-event evening, Tweeting this gem of an observation: "Don't you love/hate it when a band is so good at playing music that it makes you want to better at writing about music?" Nice grammar there, BS, but you get the idea. I was so much in awe / spaced out / cosmically tickled pink by this show that I felt like I just had to say something cosmic back about it. I don't know if I'll succeed, but here [...]
This Music Wins Albums Of 2011 #1 // 50 - 41 // Part Two - Coming Soon! #50 Walls - Coracle (Kompakt Records) Banjo Or Freakout ’s Alessio Natalizia partners with one half of Allez-Allez to create Walls , who released their enchanting debut album ‘Coracle’ on Kompakt records towards the end of 2011, with accompanying tour. Its heated and swirling electronica which retains the gentle organic feel of his BOF solo project, but with an overbearing [...]
Douglas Martin listened to 1,498 records this year. By a rough estimate. A bunch of great indie labels released music this year. If I paid tribute to them all, it would feature over 100 albums with a word count that rivals The Iliad . Sub Pop, Matador, Merge, Domino, 4AD, Slumberland, Captured Tracks, Woodsist, In the Red, Underwater Peoples, Goner, Mexican Summer, Hozac, Not Not Fun, Carpark, Hardly Art, and Drag City all released a bunch of new music worthy of your time and money, but one label rose above the fray.

![[75 - 61] 150 Tracks de 2011!](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3924467_lg.jpg)
Despues de una pausa de dos dias este conteo continua y como veran, poco a poco empiezan a salir los mejores tracks de tooodo el año o al menos, algunos de ellos. Cosas bizarras aparecieron y de cosas bizarras nos enteramos, pero dentro de todo lo bizarro tambien aparecieron cosas bizarramente increibles como las que escucharan dentro de estos 15 nuevos tracks que van desde proyectos que aunque basan su musica en algo mucho mas electronico, estan fuertemente influenciados por estilos que van desde el shoegaze hasta el black metal asi como algunos tracks pertenecientes a algunos materiales que han [...]

Our friend Kevin's probably going to hate the fact that I can't get over my infatuation with all things Comet Gain related, but what can I say, I'm a sucker for the band. However, this track only features part of the group, as well as members of Crystal Stilts , so that should garner me some hipster cred, right? The track below is from the Butterbean Crypt EP , which was released [...]
The Crystal Stilts , a 5 piece from Brooklyn, have a vintage sound that almost sounds like Joy Division mixed with the Go Betweens. Short pop songs that are fuzzy and distorted with the drones of frontman Brad Hargett's barely-there vocals and a psychedelic organ straight from the 60's.

Im 5. Türchen meines Adventskalenders gibt es einen klassischen Crystal Stilts Track. "Still As The Night" schwingt mit einem Western Flair daher und ist doch so typisch Crystal Stilts. Der Track ist auf der neuen Radiant Door der Band aus Brooklyn. Ich hoffe ich werde die Band bald mal live sehen...so schnell vergeht die Zeit [...]

Radiant Door Dark Eyes ( previously on CWR) Brooklyn's dark rockers, Crystal Stilts , have followed up their much enjoyed 2nd LP, In Love With Oblivion , from earlier this year with a new EP, Radiant Door [...]
Crystal Stilts – Radiant Door EP (Sacred Bones) Mal o segundo álbum saiu da cena dos últimos lançamentos, o Crystal Stilts já coloca mais um belíssimo trabalho nas prateleiras. Trata-se do EP Radiant Door , que mantém o jeito Joy Division de ser, com uma dose exagerada de Velvet Underground e os pés ainda enterrados no shoegaze e no pop sombrio dos anos 60. Tudo começa em Dark Eyes , que destoa um pouco das demais canções do EP por ter uma levada mais alegre e um orgão [...]

The rock world was shocked when R.E.M. announced their breakup earlier this year. Though the band may be gone, they'll be leaving us with a final greatest hits album entitled Part Lies Part Heart Part Truth Part Garbage 1982-2011 . From the same label, expect a new Tegan and Sarah album out. There are a few interesting live compilations this week as well. One pays tribute to John Lennon and another is a collection of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame performances. Indie fans should [...]
