15 Picks for 2011's Pitchfork Music Festival

Erika M. Anderson—EMA to you and me—racked up a Best New Music nod for her recent solo debut, Past Life Martyred Saints. The stark, passionate LP is one of the year's best debuts, and as Anderson proved time and again with her little-heard ex-band Gowns, what she does onstage borders on the transcendent. She'll hit the festival's Red Stage at 3:30 p.m. Friday.
