Considering the amount of fucking awesome albums released last year, being 2011 is probably like dating a dude whose ex was the queen of blowjobs. How can you possibly live up to that? Will 2011 spend its entire duration trying to live up to the musical prowess of last year? One can only hope.
Here are five of the most (potentially) awesome albums coming out this year:
1. Lykke Li – Wounded Rhymes
“Get Some” was released a couple months ago: a sexual innuendo-laden vignette teasing for the big release. If the rest of the album is as good and/or sexy as this song, you can file this album under “fuck list”.
2. The Dodos – No Color
It’s been a while since this duo has released anything. No Color will be the twosome’s fourth album, and considering the internet-leak fiasco of their last album, Time to Die, the boys are keeping a tight lid on this one.
3. The Kills – TBA
Another lo-fi duo with lots of fuzzed-out swagger. Are you guys writing your material while on tour this spring, or will we get our hands on a vinyl at the show?
4. My Morning Jacket – TBA
If you’ve never seen Jim James (or Yim Yames, as he’s often called) live, you’re missing out on a spiritual experience. This album will yield more of the same.
5. Iron & Wine – Kiss Each Other Clean
For no other reason than its sad, sappy folk-rock inspiring teenage memories, it’ll be interesting to see if the band grew up with us, or if the album will remain in the trophy case of high-school nostalgia.
