Tag: Best of 2012

We’ve had the list sitting here for weeks but still had not posted. One thing lead to another to another to another and still nothing. Then today we saw our mate Anthony’s Top 10 go up and figured it was now or never. We were going to write a blurb for each album but really, there isn’t much left to say about any of the below that hasn’t already been said a million times over. Let’s do this! and finally move on…

10. Django Django – S/T

09. Tame Impala – Lonerism

08. Frank Ocean – channel ORANGE

07. First Aid Kit – The Lion’s Roar

06. Lana Del Rey – Born to Die

05. Cat Power – Sun

04. Passion Pit – Gossamer

03. Julia Holter – Ekstasis

02. Grimes – Visions

01. Beach House – Bloom

Listed below is a smattering of our favourite tracks over the past 12 months. A few great ones didn’t make the cut and I’m sure several amazing 2012 songs have not yet been heard. Looking at the list we seemed to favour introspective female singers and “hands in the air” banging club tracks, especially if it’s somehow Diplo related. Here we go:

50. Prince Rama – So Destroyed

48. King Tuff – Bad Thing

47. Zebra Katz – Ima Read

46. Blur – Under the Westway
