“We Tried” by The Drums is a wonderful song that has that paradox of being upbeat for a song that is not very upbeat. They are very reminiscent of The Beach Boys with an indie twist. They have been described as pre-newwave-tinged nostalgic pop.
I have known Isis Graham for a long time and this release totally blew me away. I have only known her as a house dj and producer, but this is a sublime piece of chillwave style music. I love the character of her voice, and the production is simple and super effective.
Here is my top ten for 2011, as you can see I have some chill wave and some straight up dance-floor bombs filling out my top ten. This has been an amazing year musically, and we were blessed with tons of great albums and singles.
