2012: TOP TEN ALBUMS


By now you’ve probably read a fair few end of year pieces reflecting what has been a particularly fast-moving year musically speaking. I cannot possibly claim to round up everything that went down this year, so instead I here present 2012 through my own narrow lens, starting with a rundown of the year’s top ten albums. 

#10: 2:54 – 2:54

Earthy, murky, relentless.


#9: School Of Seven Bells – Ghostory

Soaring, mellow, intricate.



#8: Enter Shikari – A Flash Flood of Colour

Powerful, thought-provoking, DROPS.


#7: Lucy Rose – Like I Used To

Raw, introspective, BEATS.


#6: Two Door Cinema Club – Beacon

Mature, amorous, triumphant.


#5: Jessie Ware – Devotion

Sultry, old-school, irresistible.


#4: Alt-J – An Awesome Wave

Addictive, ingenious, daring. 


#3: The Killers – Battle Born

Expansive, revitalised, nostalgic.


#2: Lone Wolf – The Lovers

Hazy, DIY, personal.


#1: Muse – The 2nd Law

Indefatigable, intimate, pompous.
