Real Estate - Easy
I'm really glad that Real Estate is picking up the long since dropped baton of making funny music videos.
Quilt - Young Gold
If I could conjure my band out of thin air right now, this would be it. So simple and understated, yet mystically hypnotizing and jangly.
Moonrise Kingdom Trailer
Straight out of the playbook, but properly executed. What is Jason Schwartzman doing?! Oh boy!

No More Beach's Best Albums of 2011
2011 was odd in that I found myself in disagreement with many year end lists. This year was truly a renaissance year for club culture and guitar-driven acts like Wye Oak and Chad VanGaalen were criminally under appreciated. Some blogs even announced 2011 as an off year for indie music. They said that rock n' roll was dead. That second point is probably true (what the hell is rock n' roll anyway? Led Zeppelin? I think it's probably Led Zeppelin. Anyway...). Whatever your opinion is on music in 2011, you're an IDIOT if you think this was an off year. Here are some of the highest of lights...
35. The Decemberists - The King is Dead
34. Quilt - (Self Titled)
33. Caveman - Coco Beware
32. Woods - Sun and Shade
31. Yellow Ostrich - The Mistress
30. Cass McCombs - Humor Risk
29. WU LYF - Go Tell Fire to the Mountain
28. Bon Iver - Bon Iver, Bon Iver
27. The Stepkids - (Self Titled)
26. St. Vincent - Strange Mercy
25. Megafaun - (Self Titled)

9. Wye Oak - Civilian
8. Toro Y Moi - Underneath the Pine
7. Washed Out - Within You and Without You
6. Real Estate - Days
5. Unknown Mortal Orchestra - (Self Titled)
Funk music doing gravity bongs. Seriously though. Do it.
4. The Drums - Portamento
An emotional roller coaster that rides down to the altar of Morrissey and Joy Divison. Check out "Days" for one of the best songs of the year.
3. Chad VanGaalen - Diaper Island
This album plays out like a blissful anxiety attack with plenty of ocean, chase scenes and breakables around. It dreams the dream of a perfect album.
2. Kurt Vile - Smoke Ring for My Halo
Jaunty strumming glides hand in hand with more layers of atmosphere than Vile has hair. His lyrics can be terse at times, but they're always concrete enough to devour.
1. Fleet Foxes - Helplessness Blues
Rest assured that the art of carefully cultivating, meticulously mastering and presenting a pristine artifact deserving of decades of prestige (both live and via recording) is still in tact as long as Fleet Foxes are around.
