Pitchfork Best New Music of 2011 (october update)

St. Vincent is in this playlist, The Grenadines are not...
(... but actually they are available on Spotify)

Five new albums, in the last 30 days, entered the Pitchfork Best New Albums page. Two are not available on Spotify: The Field's Looping State of Mind and Wolves in the Throne Room's Celestial Lineage. The other three (by Girls, St.Vincent and Youth Lagoon), instead, are already alive and streaming. You can find them in both the updated playlists, below. Enjoy!
