Pure Pop YearEnders: Jordan Adams

A Vermonter and former Burlingtonian, I’ve spent the last 3 years DJing on independent radio stations in San Francisco, and finding new, cool, cutting edge indie music is my favorite thing to do, especially when I get to share it with strangers.

My favorite music trend of 2011 is the pervasive inclusion of saxophones. I love me some sax, and you can hear it on the 2011 albums from M83, Lady Gaga, Planningtorock, Plan B, tUnE-yArDs, Lykke Li, even Washed Out had a sax included in his new full-band live show. Viva le sax!

Some honorable mentions:

Cut Copy- Zonoscope
Wilco- The Whole Love
NewVillager- NewVillager
Active Child- You Are All I See
Plan B- The Defamation of Strickland Banks
