I hope you had a nice holiday break, we sure did and are working on getting back into the normal flow. Flashing back over the past year, I came up with a list of my top ten favorite music discoveries of 2011 and did my best to sum each selection up in a few words. What about you? Do you have a band, artist or song that stood out to you in 2011, do share. Next week for Music Monday I will share my top albums of the year!
1: Oh Land - Hip Danish futurist.
2: Metronomy - Cool British Electronica mixing it up since the late 90s.
3: Keren Ann - Multicultural French wow.
4: Matt Corby - Perhaps he is Jeff Buckley, Bon Iver and Nick Drake's nephew.
5: Youth Lagoon - Airy eerie nostalgia.

ReplyDeleteI sometimes forget just how much I love catching up on your blog from my google reader. Then one Monday evening I scroll past Matt Corby and think, hmmm Rachel really knows what she's talking about.
ReplyDeleteHe's pretty incredible, as are Metronomy & Kiwanuka. What great taste you have.
