I’ll be posting this monthly for quite some time. Enjoy your weekend
#Twelvefor12: Best Albums of 2011
Top 12 for 2011: Projects with massive replay value
1) Little Dragon “Ritual Union”
This is the soundtrack to all of your bad thoughts on a night out. By far, the most fun sounding album of the year, deserved of the top spot. The title track alone is a timeless anthem for the party scene.
The Swedish collective has managed to create their own sound using a blend of R&B/Hip Hop and Electronic tones that lead singer, Yukimi Nagano, rides beautifully.
If there is one act I’m dying to see in 2012, it’s Little Dragon (after all, the best concert I’ve ever seen was the Gorillaz, and Little Dragon had their hands on two songs on the smash “Plastic Beach”).
I really hope to see collaborations with hip-hop artists in the coming years, seeing as almost all of the tracks on Ritual Union could be bodied by your favorite MC, as is. I can’t imagine how some of my favorite producers would flip it, but I hope to find out.
Go ahead and buy the album, listen to it first if you have to, but I’m telling you, this is the most slept on album of 2011 and easily one of the best: http://little-dragon.net/
