Pitchfork Best New Music 2011 (february)

Left: Toro. Right: Moi. 

Pitchfork Best New Music 2010 (Spotify link) has been one of the most subscribed Spotirama playlists so far. Now it's time to renew it with albums published in 2011. Main rule remains the same: I will include in it only albums that get at least a 8.0 score in Pitchfork Best New Music page. The news is that I will double the playlist: you can choose a lite version, similar to the 2010 one (three tracks each album), or a full-albums version. 


A lot of new entries, in february! From PJ Harvey to James Blake, from Cut Copy to Toro Y Moi, from Tim Hecker to Nicolas Jaar, 2011 music is taking off. Enjoy!
