Satisfying eclecticism is what I look for in a playlist, and lately I’ve been enjoying letting iPod shuffle through this string comprising some (though not all) of my favorite new albums of 2011:
Walls, Apparat
Bon Iver
Helplessness Blues, Fleet Foxes
The Social Network OST, Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross
21, Adele
Hard Bargain, Emmylou Harris
Standing On the Rooftop, Madeleine Peyroux
Sacred Songs, Renee Fleming
Shawn Colvin Live
Around the Well, Iron & Wine
The Harrow & The Harvest, Gillian Welch
Tell My Sister, Kate & Anna McGarrigle (the bonus CD of demos and unreleased recordings)
Biophilia, Bjork
Aabenbaringen over Aaskammen, Casiokids
The Twilight Saga: New Moon OST (the tracks by Thom Yorke, Bon Iver & St. Vincent, and Grizzly Bear)
