Go Outside and Play

Yep, another year of calling them albums. Maybe there’s a new word and I don’t spend enough time on Twitter to know what it is.

My list has a decidedly alt folk thread running through it, which is fine, I love that music, but I think it’s time for the next big thing in loud indie rock, a la Wolfmother.

By the way, if you want to buy any of these in good old CD form or MP3 download, I’d be delighted if you’d use my Amazon.com affiliate link. Anyway, here they are:

1. Iron & Wine – Kiss Each Other Clean
2. Bon Iver – Bon Iver
3. Black Keys – El Camino
4. Cut Copy – Zonoscope
5. Decemberists – The King is Dead
6. Kurt Vile – Smoke Ring for My Halo
7. Fleet Foxes – Helplessness Blues
8. Florence + The Machine – Ceremonials
9. Wilco – The Whole Love

Things from Earlier That I Played a Lot in 2011

New Pornographers – Together
City and Colour – Bring Me Your Love
Frightened Rabbit – Midnight Organ Fight
Black Keys – Brothers
