50 albums of 2011 // 10 - 1

At some point in 2011, the release of each of these albums made us not want to listen to anything else, but more so than any other with White Denim's 'D'. Street Joy, Keys, It's Him and every other track are brimming with soul, excitement and hyperactive musicality, and for us at least there was no other option for album of the year in 2011.

1. White Denim - 'D'



2. tUnE-yArDs - 'W H O K I L L'



tUnE-yArDs // Bizness

3. Girls - 'Father, Son, Holy Ghost'



Girls // Vomit

4. Balam Acab - 'Wander / Wonder'

Balam Acab // Oh, Why

5. Kurt Vile - 'Smoke Ring For My Halo'



6. Korallreven - 'An Album By Korallreven'

Korallreven // As Young As Yesteday

7. PJ Harvey - 'Let England Shake'



8. Active Child - 'You Are All I See'

Active Child // Hanging On
