So, what r ur favorites from 2011.

My #1 is definitely Metronomy's The English Riviera. Best shit I've heard for a long time, a very deep and soulful album!

I really love both Kate Bush releases this year: Director's Cut and 50 Words For Snow, Kate is kinda back being herself and I'm really happy with that (and having 2 albums after so many years of hiatius!).

The Kid Creole And The Coconuts come-back album, I Wake Up Screaming, is a really wonderful record by one of my favorite bands of all time, and I appreciate the fact that it's produced by Hercules And Love Affair, one of my favorite contemporary bands (their 2 albums are nothing but astonishing, check iot out!).

Other releases of interest are:

The last Little Dragon joint, Ritual Union, not as cool as their previous record IMHO, but still very challenging.

Likke Li's Wounded Ryhmes is a very interesting second effort, very different from the first one and quite dark and intimate.

fDeluxe's Gaslight reminds me of the classic Wendy & Lisa stuff and for that only deserves to be mentioned!

And there's been other interesting things, such as SBTRKT's eponymous album, Thomas Dolby's A Map Of The Floating City, David Lynch's Crazy Clown Time, Lemongrass' beautiful Sirius, and Susheela Raman's Vel where she does her thing with a little wilder side of hersel than the usual. I also have to admit that I found that Michael Jackson's Immortal, which I expected to be crap, is a very cool homage to his whole discography, very respectful of the original material and interestingly remixed and put together.

Other things might grow on me with time, and of course I probably have missed a lot of stuff...

What are your faves?
