2011, whilst being incredibly gloomy in all its other endeavours, was a tremendous year for music where the common theme of the day appeared to be in the guise of a post-blues sound, which is where we found ourselves completely immersed in this 3rd offering from New Orlean’s band Mutemath. A band so hard to define in its very nature, they pushed themselves once more to further add to their impressive musical palette with this delightful, blues-tinged album. At its peak, ‘Odd Soul’ stands magestically as a very testatment to their talent and conscientiousness to drive and evolve their sound which is why ‘Odd Soul’ was IndiePoint’s album of the year for 2011. Have a great new year and see you all in 2012!

End Of 2011: Best Song - Nada Surf (‘When I Was Young’)
Okay, so the album itself (‘The Stars Are Indifferent To Astronomy’) isn’t out until January 2012, but the song was released back in 2011, so i came to the conclusion that the song was a valid contender. Enjoy!
End Of 2011: Best New Side-Project - Release The Sunbird -Come Back To Us
Whilst there was some considerable pressure from Brian Fallon’s side project “The Horrible Crowes”, Release The Sunbird nudged ahead delighting us this year with a notable return to basics for Zach Rogue (leading member of Rogue Wave) with a range of stripped down, summery-tinged acoustic numbers from the side-project in their first offering, “Come Back To Us”
