4. St. Vincent - Strange Mercy
Oh hohoho, this was nearly number 1...very nearly, and considering there are 3 other albums above it, that's how undecided and confused more than anything as to what was my number 1 of 2011.
Personally, I reckon St Vincent goes from strength to strength. She hasn't released a single bad album, and continues to gather more fans, admirers and even casual listeners. I nearly saw her live a few weeks ago in the Deaf Institute, I was puzzled why she still plays in small venues :(
So what makes this album tick? It's pretty and kooky pop, throw in a few aggro, and it never ever gets dull. She deserves to be much bigger than what she is now.
