top records of 2011. 11.The War On Drugs - Slave Ambient


11. THE WAR ON DRUGS SLAVE AMBIENT
This year offered a swirling sound of psycedelic swims of guitars effects combined with the deep vocals of folk across a few different projects and here, Kurt Vile's old band here gave us an album with some of the best tracks heard in ages.

It's a unique sound and one that combines the likes of My Bloody Valentine and Bob Dylan. The sound of when the harmonica comes out in all the feedback in "Baby Missiles" is just to die for, as is the layered, stunning opener "Best Night" that always stops me in my tracks.

From a group of musicians that's been around a while then, there'll still probably be a lot more to come, and I for one just can't wait. What a fantastic discovery.
