11.11.12 Part 1
Part 1 of a two part post. I know that most of you read these in blog order, i.e. reverse chronological, but for those who asked, here is a list of the albums that have appeared over the last couple of months, so if you missed them, you can check here. I get it – lists are quicker – so think of this list as an index to the year, and you can search the notes by name and get a quick idea of what the album is going to sound like and some background. Also, in case you haven’t noticed, a large number of these records show up on Consequences of Sound, Pitchfork and Stereogum, so you can always get information (and videos) from those sources as well. With those caveats, here are the lists by date posted:
