The Clink’s Albums & EPs of 2011

Goodbye 2011, it was a year that flew by way too fast, and it was also the year that I truly felt overwhelmed by the amount of music available in all shapes and forms. This post highlights the albums & EPs that we’ve enjoyed the most over the past year, there’s a lot of albums that unfortunately didn’t get my full attention in 2011 (for example releases from the likes of Wu Lyf, Feist, St. Vincent & The Horrors), but that’s what dreary winter evenings in January will be used for; music catch up.

This year may have been my year of ‘too much music’, but there are still some albums & EPs that were on constant repeat and shoot to the top of the pile. Below is the list of our highlights of 2011 (in no particular order), contributed by myself, Chris and Peter. They will hopefully give you a helping hand in trawling through the massive pile of music released this year, and you might end up giving an album a chance and falling in love with something that you may have overlooked in 2011.

So, those were our favorite albums and EPs – calling them the ‘top’ albums of the year doesn’t feel right, these are simply what we enjoyed the most. If there’s any that I may have missed, let us know in the comments – I’ve got a 12 hour travel day ahead of me this week that is just asking to be filled with music. Tomorrow = our favorite songs.
