Toronto's druggiest industrial-r&b singer Abel Tesfaye just released his third album of the year.
Like the first two — which we deemed the best releases of 2011 — "Echoes of Silence" sounds great, with the same wobbling, fuzzed-out synths and desperate croon front and center.
And it caps a pretty good twelve months for a guy who still hasn't commercially released any of his own music.
Like its predecessors "House of Balloons" and "Thursday," "Echoes of Silence" is available for free at the Weeknd's website.
Once you've grabbed all three, make sure you pick up Drake's "Take Care" — our fourth-best album of the year — which the Weeknd also features on.
