Eight new Radical tracks for 2011.

I feel kind of ratty due to most of my Radical tracks being “Best New Music” on Pitchfork, but whatever, they’re good tracks.

XXXY – Ordinary Things

—Glitchy electronic tune that builds to it’s peak in a very danceable manner.

Cut Copy – Need You Now

http://hypem.com/#!/item/187j6/Cut+Copy+-+Need+You+Now

—Slow building song that would probably sound great live

Women – Bullfight

—Possibly the last song put out by the Canadian lo-fi band

James Blake – The Wilhelm Scream

—His debut release is going to be orgasmed over by all indie music websites.

Toro Y Moi – New Beat

—When there is a beat this funky, you can’t argue how much the album cover freaks you out.

Peter, Bjorn and John – Second Chance

—One of the best album covers of this year, no doubt.

Bright Eyes – Haile Selassie

—Oberst brings his A game with this rocker, not about Arizona.

Fleet Foxes – Helplessness Blues

—A very confident return to music that is much needed.
