The Best of the Rest from 2011

Girls “Father, Son, Holy Ghost” A grower with tunes strong enough to convince me this dude is here to stay.

 

Fleet Foxes “Helplessness Blues” The title track alone gets this on the list, but the album is packed with great shit, including Robin’s first track (I think) without reverb on his pipes. Gimme more of that, please sir.

 

My Morning Jacket “Circuital” Breathe easy, it’s not over. A great return to form.

 

Kurt Vile “Smoke Ring for My Halo” I finally get it!

 

Megafaun “Megafaun” For me they went from “interesting band with interesting sounds” to “watch out, these fuckers can write songs, too!” They made a more focused & concise record, but with wings spread much wider.
