A Future in Noise - Best of 2011 Picks (Spotify Playlist)
2011, in my opinion, was quite a spotty, largely rough year for music. There were really only three albums that I was fully impressed by: The Horrors - Skying, Dirty Beaches - Badlands, and HTRK - Work (work, work). So, I decided to put together a playlist of enjoyable 2011 songs, as opposed to a best-of album list. Very electronic and ethereal-focused.
