Best CD I've heard so far 2011.........


Sarah Jarosz/Song Up In Her Head
Like a breath of fresh air, just great!
128x128rja
Ditto Fleet Foxes. On first listen new TV on the Radio is mostly a flop. Keep hoping they'll top Desperate Youth, Bloodthirsty Babes.

New Eleventh Dream Day, The Walkmen, Low Anthem.
Diana Krall, Doing All Right. Live concert recording from the Jazzaldia Festival in Spain.
In have an add, one I find truly special.

The Antlers "Burst Apart"

This is not "Hospice" nor will anything ever be like it but it does have the layers of swirling, rich and difficult intensity. With lyrics like "...Prove to me/that I'm not gonna die alone...." this is not a simple record, yet I felt connected to it from the first play and find myself wanting to start it over each time the closing song fades. This is going to be on my years best list for sure.
