My Favorite Records of 2011
Mirror to Mirror's Here You Leave Today—one of my favorite records of the year.
In the January 2012 issue of Stereophile, I list my 15 favorite records of the year (p.52). Here is an expanded, slightly more detailed list.
SM’s FAVORITE RECORDS OF 2011
1. Gang Gang Dance: Eye Contact (LP, 4AD CAD 3107)
I can hear everything. It’s everything time.
The record opens with those few words, the band nodding at this digital age of file-sharing and rapid access: Any musical style is just a few clicks away from the curious musician or music lover. How will the Internet, with its way of obliterating time and space, shape the sound of music to come?
Gang Gang Dance’s fifth studio album—their first to be released by 4AD—is a big, ambitious masterpiece, fusing together New Age weirdness, Global awareness, psychedelic visions, 1980s freestyle, 1990s techno, mainstream pop, hip-hop, punk rock, and massive dance rhythms.
“MindKilla” is the single of the year. Play it on the hi-fi, loud.
2. Wild Beasts: Smother (LP Domino DNO297)
Not nearly as adventurous or weird as Gang Gang Dance's Eye Contact, but nonetheless beautiful and moving from beginning to end, Smother is concerned with love, lust, and longing. The voices are enchanting, the music warbles, pulses, and soothes. The album concludes with “End Come Too Soon,” but we play it again and again.
3. Radiohead: The King of Limbs (LP, Ticker Tape Ltd. TICK001LP)
I didn’t like this record at all when I first heard it—I was expecting something poppier, something more familiar—but over time something changed and the album’s vague, amorphous melodies and strange structures grew beautiful and inviting. Odd sonics: The music sounds new and old at once.
4. Zomby: Dedication (LP, 4AD CAD 3119)
After hearing just a few seconds of the opening track, “Witch Hunt,” I knew I had to own this record. The textures are amazing, the beats are dope, the melodies haunting. After hearing the record a few times, I imagined, fancifully, that it was dedicated to an ex-lover. But I read in The Wire, that the record is actually dedicated to Zomby’s dad.
5. Alva Noto & Ryuichi Sakamoto: Summvs (CD, Raster-Noton R-N 132)
Alva Noto mixes his glitchy, scintillating electronics and deep, low-end blasts with Sakamoto’s gentle, tender piano melodies. Their version of Eno’s “By This River” is exquisite.
6. Mogwai: Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will (LP, Sub Pop SP895)
The music, mostly instrumental and altogether powerful, is just as brash and awesome as the album title.
7. Fucked Up: David Comes to Life (LP, Matador OLE-952-1)
I wish my band could open for these guys. Fucked Up destroys. Intelligent, poetic, ridiculous, pummeling, frightening, triumphant rock and roll. On this record, the band sounds like The Who mixed with Stormshadow, which, to me, is incredibly cool.
8. Thundercat: The Golden Age of Apocalypse (LP, Brainfeeder BF023)
I love just about everything released by Steven Ellison’s Brainfeeder label, but this record tops them all. Imagine Stevie Wonder, the Headhunters, and Chick Corea, playing with the Temptations, remixed by Flying Lotus, with that crazy bass player from Suicidal Tendencies. Oh, it is that crazy bassplayer from Suicidal Tendencies: Stephen Bruner, son of soul drummer Ronald Bruner. Cool.
9. Amon Tobin: ISAM (LP, Ninja Tune LC-12885)
This weird, whimsical record is filled with exaggerated sounds that’ll pulse through your listening room floors and skip along the listening room walls. Composer Amon Tobin records the sounds of insects, electricity, wind, and other things, adds enormous beats, and sings like a child at play.
10. Girls: Father, Son, Holy Ghost (LP, True Panther Sounds TRUE-035-1)
Even better than their debut. Girls take us on a tour of rock and roll, from 1950s-style crooning to surf rock to shoegaze to grunge. Great songwriting.
11. HTRK: Work (Work, Work) (LP, Ghostly International GI-144)
This is another one that I didn’t really like at first. But something about it kept drawing me back, and, over time, I came to love this record’s thick, sludgy, dense sound. There are hidden melodies under the dark, metallic outer surface. Work (Work Work) forces you to reconsider rhythm and pace. It is unapologetic. And Jonnine Standish sounds like a drugged-up, sex-starved Sade. (Which is hot.) Sexiest album of the year.
12. Colin Stetson: New History Warfare, Vol.2: Judges (LP, Constellation CST075-1)
This record, on the other hand, immediately blew me away. Stetson uses 24 mics to record every sound he makes while completely freaking out on bass saxophone. Laurie Anderson and Shara Worden provide even greater terror and seduction, respectively.
13. James Blake: James Blake (LP, Polydor B0015443-01)
Blake, the 24-year old electronic music producer and son of James Litherland, hit the scene with a big splash. His debut full-length came with much hype, but lived up to it all and surprised me by becoming a hit with audiophiles: By the end of the year, we were guaranteed to hear “The Wilhelm Scream” played over and over at hi-fi shows. I blame that on Wilson’s Peter McGrath. (Thanks, Peter.) Great album all the way through, though.
14. Leyland Kirby: Eager to Tear Apart the Stars (LP, History Always Favors the Winners HAFTW010-LP)
I’m fast falling in love with everything Kirby releases, whether under the Caretaker moniker, his V/Vm project, or his “Intrigue & Stuff” series. Eager to Tear Apart the Stars crackles with dust and shines with moonlight: We hear warm synths; horror-movie organ; wind and waves; and delicate, deliberate, tragically beautiful piano. It’s easy to listen to, easier to love, and filled with great rewards.
15. Cold Cave: Cherish the Light Years (LP, Matador OLE-921)
This record sounds like New York City at 3am, neon lights reflected in oily puddles of rain. Radical synth playing, too.

Just amazing music for hours!

My pleasure. This blog entry took forever, but it was probably more fun than any other I've posted this year. It's a real privilege to be able to share music with others. I love the music so much; it makes me feel good to be able to give back in some small way.
Good records!!!

good list
Submitted by Stephen Mejias on December 9, 2011 - 7:06am
Oh, good list! There are several records here (Real Estate, Sun Araw, Eleanor Friedberger, Bill Callahan, Thee Oh Sees...) that I've been curious about, but, for one reason or another, never picked up. I think I sorta felt like I had a good idea of what the records would sound like, so I neglected them.
(I wish I could hear everything!)
For as much as I wanted to love the PJ Harvey and Fleet Foxes records, I just never got into them. Maybe in time.
This year, more than any other, I was gripped by the urge to hear new sounds.
I think...

My Brightest Diamond is missing!
Sorry, I'm not telling you what you should like, but I can't stop listening to her since I saw the post here in Stereophile!
My Brightest Diamond
Submitted by DLKG on December 13, 2011 - 6:42am
I can't stop listening to them since you turned me on to them either. I found the first 2 Lps in the $9 bin at FYE in Philadelphia and have since gotten the new one. I think I like the first 2 better but they are all really good. The new Kate Bush (50 words about snow) is amazing but I got 2 bad pressings. I saw on her web sight that there were bad pressings and now they should be OK. I'll find out when I get it again.Also Tori Amos Night of The Hunter is really good.

Stephen; I love your writing,
Submitted by FSonicSmith on December 9, 2011 - 10:36am
Stephen; I love your writing, I love your perspective, I don't love your taste in music. That's OK. You're young. I don't love my two sons' tastes in music either. They're still in college (gotta kid at Columbia-can you look into him some time to see if he's behaving?) But like them, you will wisen up and your tastes will improve. You're close. I too can't get into the new Polly Jean or F.Foxes.
this is a very expansive list
Submitted by volvic on December 9, 2011 - 11:56am
Very nice like you I too always like to hear what other people are listening and while I recognize a few of them no way do I know all of them. Look forward to listening and seeing each and every one of them during the holidays on my new Blackberry Playbook. Keep em coming Stephen.

Stephen, Listen to Real Estate...
Submitted by oscar nr on December 10, 2011 - 4:35am
"Days" is a good record. More focused (and more poppier) than predecesor. I love the way their guitars interplay...
And PJ Harvey Records is fantastic. My favourite of her since "To Bring you my love"
Oh, and I don´t get Gang Gang Dance... (I like the cover)
BTW, "FSonicSmith", I don't understand that "you will wisen up and your tastes will improve". I think that that's a commentary that describes more the author than the music that we are talking about. It's like that cliché "Nowadays there is no good music/It's not like the old days" (Uppss, PJ Harvey always says that in interviews ;-)) I love My morning jacket or PJ the same way I love Beach Boys, Can, Stooges or MC5.
Regards, Oscar
high hopes
Submitted by Stephen Mejias on December 9, 2011 - 1:17pm
That's another one that I never really got into. I had high hopes for it, but it didn't really move me the way the first record did. I'll have to come back to it later.

Great list. Several of these records are on my "Gotta Get" list: Peaking Lights, EMA, David Lynch, Feist, maybe St. Vincent, SBTRKT. I'm undecided about Lykke Li and the Horrors, but I've been curious about those records, too.
El Camino was just released earlier this week and I haven't heard it yet, but I'm looking forward to it. Robert Baird interviews The Keys' Dan Auerbach in our February issue.
Stephen, don't miss Dillon
Submitted by haujobb on December 9, 2011 - 1:27pm
... simply fantastic and unexpected real find !
cool
Submitted by Stephen Mejias on December 9, 2011 - 1:57pm
I'm listening now and enjoying it -- thanks. I don't want to make any quick judgments, but my mind is drawing lines to Bjork, Joanna Newsom, and Bat for Lashes. Cool stuff. There's so much great music out there, it's overwhelming.
Dan Auerbach!!!
Submitted by oscar nr on December 9, 2011 - 4:02pm
And Patrick Carney!!! A band that has evolve without losing their roots. They're GREAT.
I haven't heard El Camino yet. Next week a new vinyl of BK in my turntable for sure.
Dan Auerbach solo album is also a favorite of mine.
Nice list Stephen, I always
Submitted by garysi13 on December 9, 2011 - 10:35pm

Fucked Up- David Comes to Life
The War on Drugs- Slave Ambient

tUnE-yArDs- whokill
Wild Beasts- Smother
Elbow- Build a Rocket Boys
M83- Hurry up, We're Dreaming

If I can include reissues, Wish You Were Here and Exile on Main Street
Synthesist
Submitted by Stephen Mejias on December 13, 2011 - 7:03am
Ah, reissues! Lots of great reissues this year, too. It seems like all of my favorite records from the 90s are being re-released on vinyl. Currently, I'm really enjoying Light in the Attic's reissue of Mercury Rev's Deserter's Songs. But I think my favorite reissue of the rear is RVNG's loving treatment of Harald Grosskopf's Synthesist.
tUnE-yArDs
Submitted by Stephen Mejias on December 13, 2011 - 7:04am
I still have to get that tUnE-yArDs record, too. (Dammit.)
The King of the Limbs...

And The Whole Love is Wilco's best since a ghost is born IMO

Eric Johnson - Up Close - Jazz fusion, Rock, and Country
Brian Hughes - Fast Train to A Quiet Place - Jazz
Walter Becker - Circus Money - just plain cool

George Benson - Guitar Man - Jazz
Great LIst, Stephen.
Submitted by bonhamcopeland on December 10, 2011 - 6:42pm
It's hard to stay on top new music. And thank god for that.
You turned me on to Mogwai this year. And like you, I might have picked up that record just for the title. Thankfully, the music is vastly more interesting than the title. (but damn, they have great names) Since then, I've bought everything Mogwai I can get my hands on. Except Gremlins on Blu-ray.
We need more journalists like you to expand our horizons. A good music service algorithm doesn't equal a good editorial. Digital opinion becomes devalued with every push of the like button. Keep writing, keep listening, and keep up the good fight.
Mogwai
Submitted by Stephen Mejias on December 13, 2011 - 7:15am
Thanks very much. It's so satisfying to hear that I've introduced you to something you now enjoy. And it's always great to hear from thoughtful people.
If you get a chance to see Mogwai live, definitely go for it. The live experience is very special. (Bring earplugs!) Their live DVDs are cool, too.

Submitted by Stephen Mejias on December 13, 2011 - 7:20am
Excellent list. I'll have to check out that Peter Evans record. I've also been meaning to pick up the Hecker album; I've read such great reviews.
I think the Bee Mask record is Elegy for Beach Friday on Spectrum Spools, an offshoot of Editions Mego and another label that seems to consistently release outstanding stuff.
This was more of a year of
Submitted by himynameisjuan on December 12, 2011 - 12:17am
This was more of a year of discovering old music, however new releases that I had in heavy rotation were:
Naive Thieves - Le Sheik Rhat - EP
honeyhoney - Billy Jack
The Cave Singers - No Witch
Vanaprasta - Healthy Geometry
Anywho, those are my picks that have yet to be listed.. I left relevant links if you guys want to check them out.
Lastly, 2011 was the year I found out about Stereophile, and I have found great new and classic music and hope 2012 brings more good picks.

Another excellent record. I love Sam Prekop voice.

Submitted by Soothsayerman on December 12, 2011 - 5:21pm
I hardly ever buy brand new music because it just takes me a while to discover it so I'm always behind the curve. But some that interested me were...
- David Lynch - Crazy Clown Time
- Jame Blake - James Blake
- Steve Reid - Live at Southbank
- Yo Yo Ma - Goat Rodeo Sessions
- Glenn Gould - Goldberg Variations, Zenph Re-performance 96/24 at HD Tracks
Too much to keep up with
Love these lists
Submitted by cgreen416 on December 13, 2011 - 12:13pm

In order.
- Iron & Wine – Kiss Each Other Clean
- Black Keys – El Camino
- Wilco – The Whole Love
- My Morning Jacket - Circuitual
- Bon Iver – Bon Iver
- City and Colour – Little Hell
- The Civil Wars – Barton Hallow
- Brandi Carlile – Live at Benaroya Hall
- Black Joe Lewis and the Honeybears – Scandalous
- The Head and the Heart – The Head and the Heart
Honorable Mentions
Admiral Fallow – Boots Met My Face (issued in 2010 in the UK not yet released on this side of the pond and thus misses official recognition in the 2011 list)
Arkells – Michigan Left
We Were Promised Jetpacks – In the Pit of the Stomach
Le Butcherettes – Sin Sin Sin
The Ettes – Wicked Will
Dum Dum Girls – Only In Dreams
Your insipidness amazes me
Submitted by jeffca on December 14, 2011 - 10:51am
Mejias,
Your penchant for lame ambient/house music bands and lame singers that use DAW's and soft synths truly flabbergasts me. I doubt that any one of these so-called artists could survive on stage without sequencers and a TC Electronic VoiceLive processor... and, even then, that's still in doubt.
After sampling every band and album you listed, I've come to the conclusion that your top 15 sucks and so do you.
Just as a point of reference, this last Saturday, my company had their X-mas bash and the main performer was Jose Feliciano. Clair Bros. did the sound and, holy crap, can that little old blind latino rip on guitar and his vocals haven't lost very much luster either (given that he's pushing 70, that's pretty amazing).
So, Mejias, do you ever go to see real artists play real music or do you hang out in your pad and self-flagilate to ambient-techno? I'm betting on the latter.
Please, just resign. You're an embarrasment to yourself and the publication and, apparently, are an ignoramous when it comes to music. Stereophile should can your ass just for being a musical cretan and an imbecile.
Most sincerely,
jeff
Excellent!
Submitted by vils on December 15, 2011 - 8:56am
So happy to see such names as Leyland Kirby, Alva Noto, Deaf Center and Thundercat featured on your list, and in the pages of Stereophile! Leyland Kirby's records in particular have captured my imagination like no other this year. His 'Intrigue & Stuff' series is completely enthralling.
I didn't take to James Blake whatsoever, and I grew tired of the Radiohead record pretty quickly, but most others on your list did garner at least some attention from me throughout the year.
I would also like to recommend a few other releases that really impressed me this year:
- Pinch & Shackleton: Pinch & Shackleton
- Jon Mueller: Alphabet of Movements
- Burnt Friedman & Jaki Libezeit: Secret Rhythms 4
- The Necks: Mindset
- Byetone: SyMeta
- Surgeon: Breaking the Frame
- Kammerflimmer Kollektief: Teufelskamin
- Julia Hülsmann Trio: Imprint
Thanks again for publishing your list, there are some records I will definitely want to check out!
Best,
Vils
