25 of My Favorite Releases of 2011

2011, andy stott, Ash Borer, Baptists, Big Spiders Back, Carl Calm, Ford and Lopatin, Haxan Cloak, Ken Mode, Kryptic Minds, Liturgy, Motion Sickness of Time Travel, Patrice and Friends, Patten, Regis, Roly Porter, surgeon, Tim Hecker, Tombs, Trap Them, Tropic of Cancer, wold, xhin, year end lists

     It’s been an absolutely great year for music, IMO. I kept my list to 25, and in no particular order. I’m sure if I gave this more thought, some may fall out, and others may fall in. But, whatever. These are all absolutely outstanding releases in my eyes. I tried to keep my list full of all LPs, but I believe a 12″, and some EPs made the cut. Anyways, you can click on the artist, and that will take you to a youtube video featuring a track from the album I showcased. Can’t wait to see what 2012 has to bring. Already some great things set to release the next couple months.
  • Ford and Lopatin – Channel Pressure [Mexican Summer]
  • Tim Hecker – Ravedeath, 1972 [Kranky]
  • Ken Mode – Venerable [Profound Lore]
  • Andy Stott – Passed Me By [Modern Love]
  • Wold – Freermasonry [Profound Lore]
  • Liturgy – Aesthethica [Thrill Jockey]
  • Alva Noto – Univrs [Rastar Notion]
  • Pete Swanson – Man With Potential [Type]
  • Xhin – Sword [Stroboscopic Artefacts]
  • The Haxan Cloak – s/t [AURORA BOREALIS]
  • Tombs – Path of Totality [Relapse]
  • Krallice – Diotima [Profound Lore]
  • Motion Sickness of Time Travel – Luminaries & Synastry [Digitalis]
  • Tropic of Cancer – The End of All Things [Downwards]
  • Patten – GLAQJO XAACSSO [No Pain in Pop]
  • Surgeon – Breaking the Frame [Dynamic Tension Records]
  • Roly Porter – Aftertime [Subtext]
  • Baptists – Black Dawn EP [Holy Roar Records]
  • Carl Calm – A Party Tide [self released cassette]
  • Regis – In A Syrian Tongue 12″ [Blackest Ever Black]
  • Patrice and Friends – Cashmere Sheets [Sulk Records]
  • Big Spiders Back – Memory Man [Circle Into Square]
  • Ash Borer – s/t [Gilead Media, Eternal Warfare, Suburban Mayhem, Psychic Violence]
  • Kryptic Minds – Can’t Sleep [Blackbox]
  • Trap Them – Darker Handcraft [Prosthetic Records]

Lastly, I’ve got some great new talent lined up for the Only For Robots guest mix series for 2011. All new faces, and I’m sure we’ll see some familiar ones throughout the year. My new years resolution with this blog is to dedicate more time to updating it with what I’m listening to, what others are listening to, Chicago updates, and whatever else I feel is mindless jargon that I should spew out at you.

Have a happy new year, and see ya in 2010.

I don’t want this to get too lengthy. I’ve included youtube clips instead of reviews, to give you a better idea of the acts. So, without further ado, I give you my top 20 (in NO order!)…

A special thanks to blogs, friends, message boards, record labels, and most importantly, the artists themselves. Looking forward to an awesome year of great 2011 releases!
