Nice list. A lot of them appear in my 'Honourable Mentions'. Liked Coexist, but not as memorable as many of the ones in my Top 10. If I updated it tomorrow, I would probably have 'The Idler Wheel' in there.
DeleteTerrific list, Andy. Love your choices.
ReplyDelete(Though my number 1 and 2, Tindersticks' The Something Rain and Jessie Ware's Devotion, don't show up on your list, but still, I can get behind all the ones I've heard here.)
I will have to check out 'The Something Rain'. Thanks 4 the recommendation. Yeah, 'Devotion' is great. Was in my Top 10 for most of the year. Then I listened to Death Grips and The Maccabees ;-)
DeleteWait, just saw your honorable mention for Devotion. Oh well...
ReplyDeleteChannel Orange... what a masterpiece that is.
ReplyDeleteI remember you posting something about The Seer a few months ago, so I decided to it them up. Just... wow.
You dug it? Awesome. That makes me happy. So epic!
DeleteI honestly didn't like it at first, but it never left my mind, so I gave it a re-listen. Unique and epic, indeed.
DeleteGreat list Andy! Nice to see Maccabees there :D proud to know I had something to do with it. I really need to check out Tame Impala, they have been on everybody's Best 2012 albums lately...and they're Australians, right?
ReplyDeleteYou certainly did. It was your recommendation. Tame Impala are Australian and though I liked their new album, I preferred their first one. Well worth listening too though - psychedelic rock.
DeleteNice that Chromatics is ranked so high, great tracks on that album, it's in my top 5 too. I also quite enjoyed that Beach House album.
ReplyDeleteThere is actually an expanded edition of In Our Heads - Hot Chip, don't know if you're interested, I think the extra disc is on spotify.
Just published my favorite albums of 2012 list today, if you want to compare.
I would be very interested in listening to an expanded edition. Thanks for the tip. Hope to expand my listening even more in 2013.
