Top 10 Albums of 2012

I knew it wouldn't be easy to find full albums for you to stream. Legal ones so to speak. But thanks to Bandcamp and musicians' better awareness of music streaming, I'm glad to be able to let you hear these great albums. Though, there are a couple, which you need to stream from fan-made playlists. That's not bad. Bad is when a band uploads all the songs, but don't put them in order.

For me a best album is something, which works as an entity. Not all songs have to be out of this world, but they're linked to each other to comprise a masterpiece. The albums chosen below do just that.


10. Chairlift - Something




9. Crystal Castles - III




8. fun. - Some Nights




7. Team Me - To The Treetops!




6. Reptar - Body Faucet




5. Oberhofer - Time Capsules II

4. Grimes - Visions




3. Polica - Give You The Ghost




2. Amanda Palmer & The Grand Theft Orchestra - Theatre Is Evil





1. Baroness - Yellow & Green

Friday Feature: Reptar

Mix one table spoon of dance with one table spoon of pop. Then add a spoonful of electro. What do you get?

Danceable electro-pop.

No shit, Sherlock.

If you want to take it a bit further, the synonym for the end result would be Reptar.



Not the Rugrats character. Add a lot of rainbow food dyes to get the wanted result.





There you go. Here we have the amazingly delicious musical pie ready to be thrown in your face.

Formed in 2008, this Georgia four-piece has been steadily working their way into the hearts of music lovers. Last year they released EP Oblangle Fizz Y'all, which The Sunday Times claimed as thrillingly good, off-kilter art pop.

Now their debut full-length album Body Faucet, produced by Ben Allen (Animal Collective, Gnarls Barkley, Bombay Bicycle Club) is available on iTunes for you to purchase and enjoy. If your bank account is empty at the moment, have a listen to a few tracks below and make sure to get the album when the next paycheck arrives. Before you pay the bills.
