STEREOTYPE HELSINKI'S FAVOURITE NOTES SO FAR 2011

April 8, 2011


The year so far has been fantastic musically, with James Blake, Toro Y Moi and The Weeknds releasing gorgeous, forward thinking albums, ...And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead releasing the best rock album of the year so far and their best work since the classic "Source Tags & Codes" and Blackbird Blackbird releasing the beautiful "Halo LP" plus let's not forget Lykke Li becoming something of a pop princess with her thrilling "Wounded Rhymes".
