Dustin’s Favorite Albums of 2011
Here they are. If the album players aren’t loading right away, try refreshing the page.
Come Gather Round Us - Despair? (Explicit-ish)
Catherine Feeny is one of my favorite female vocalists and songwriters, and she’s in this group. Minimalist production and brilliant songs.
Childish Gambino - Camp (Explicit)
The more you learn about Donald Glover, the more you love him. He was a staff writer for 30 Rock in grad school, star of the recently canceled Community, stand-up comedian, and was almost cast as the next Spiderman. And oh yeah, he raps.
Alison Krauss & Union Station - Paper Airplane
Nobody hates this album. Plus, it features Dan Tyminski, the guy who sings “Man Of Constant Sorrow” in O Brother, Where Art Thou.
Everything Everything- Man Alive
This album will not bore you.
Gotye - Making Mirrors
Australian sensation. Sounds like Sting.
Stevie Nicks - In Your Dreams
There were a lot of comeback albums this year, most of them were disappointing. The Stevie Nicks albums was generally overlooked, but I loved it.
Tinie Tempah - Disc-overy
Brit rap.
Wilco -The Whole Love
Good.
The Lonely Forest - Arrows
Produced by Chris Walla of Death Cab For Cutie.
Hurts - Happiness
This was technically released in 2010, but didn’t get to America until this year. I like it.
