Best albums of 2011 - the Velvet Edition

[velvety2010]

It's that time of the year! The very best time!
No, not Christmas or Hanukkah! Not even my birthday earlier this month! The time for best of in music lists!

I used this handy little embed from Hype Machine for my top 3 albums this year:

Oh this is some good stuff. And clearly I have a lot to catch up on too. And I just discovered M83's. Is that the album I should start with?

[velvety2010]

"Hurry up, we're dreaming" is the latest M83 album - really good but not as mellow as some the earlier ones. Midnight city is the most popular song so far: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dX3k_QDnzHE

If you'd like something mellower, start with "Before the dawn heals us".

Nice album titles, right?

[workerbee73]

Very nice. And thank you for the rec! :D

Somehow I missed this entry--but we have very similar taste in music! Good stuff!
