Black Lips – Modern Art – Arabia Mountain
Black Lips – Mad Dog – Arabia Mountain
- 6th album.

Ezra Furman & The Harpoons - Don't Turn Your Back On Love - Mysterious Power (2011)

- Played SXSW
Frightened Rabbit - Fuck This Place - A Frightened Rabbit EP (2011)
- This was a tour-only EP.
- This track features Tracyanne Campbell of Camera Obscura.
- This is one of their greatest tracks, in my opinion. Why hide it away on a tour-only release?
- 4 albums out.
- Organ Fight is their best to date.
- Scottish accent stands out, but there seems to be something more than that to his vocals and make them truly unique.
Bill Callahan - Riding For the Feeling- Apocalypse (2011)

- Folk singer/songwriter type
- The voice gets me here more than anything
- Former leader of Smog.

PAPA - I Am The Lion King - A Good Woman Is Hard To Find EP (2011)
- Debut EP
- Led by the drummer for the band Girls.
- Upbeat, a touch beachy and sun-drenched pop and a perfect fit for the end of summer.
- There is something triumphant in their tracks that really draws me in.
tUnE-yArDs - Gangsta - w h o k i l l (2011)
- BEST BAND OF PITCHFORK MUSIC FEST 2011!
- 2nd album.

- This is the best song I’ve heard from her so far.
Tom Waits – Pay Me – Bad As Me (2011)

- Whether it’s here or in the Gutter Twins, Dulli is capable of creating deep powerful moods and feelings.
We Are Augustines - Book of James - Rise Ye Sunken Ships (2011)
- Debut full length.
- Consists of two remaining members of the band Pela, Billy McCarthy & Eric Sanderson.
- Pela disbanded after McCarthy’s brother committed suicide.
Yellow Ostrich - Hate Me Soon - The Mistress (2011)
- Debut full length
- Sounds a bit like the Beatles and the White Stripes and even at times Menomena.
- Played SXSW
Young Circles - 2012 - Jungle Habits (2011)
- Debut full length. Also 1 EP out.
- Extremely interesting blend of styles. Freak folk, harder alt-rock, electronic and beat driven.
- I think they are at their best on heavier, more aggressive tracks like this.

- 3rd album from Wolf Parade's Dan Boeckner and his wife.
- Out June 28th.
- I was late to the party here, but glad I didn’t miss it!
