| I love that album from The New Law as well. They are looking to tour this summer along the west coast and I am pretty sure they are coming to Bellingham in September. I really want to see what their live show is like |

Lotus Plaza - Spooky Action at a Distance
Very solid... Would actually purchase this one  |

Did you want me to start you a list with that album, dude? |

| I seriously hope some of you guys look into that Niki & the Dove album. I've listened to it probably 20 times and think it might be my favorite of the year so far. It's just such a fun, beautiful, and intelligently crafted dance-pop album. DO IT! |

| This is the best thread on the boards. Although I'm not finished catching up. That's a preliminary guess. |

| I'm really happy that this thread ended up taking off. Aside from being a great place to recommend new albums, we won't find ourselves scrambling to find our favorites of 2012 come December. |

Probably time I update mine a bit, this is undoubtedly missing stuff:
Mt Eerie - Clear Moon Japandroids - Celebration Rock Lotus Plaza - Spooky Action at a Distance Willis Earl Beal - Acousmatic Sorcery Spiritualized - Sweet Heart Sweet Light Chromatics - Kill For Love Lil B - God's Father Horse Feathers - Cynic's New Year
and I'm gonna give that Niki and the Dove album Pea likes so much a spin later tonight.

OK, now I will start mine so far:
Maps & Atlases - Beware and Be Grateful THEESatisfaction - awE naturalE The Mars Volta - Noctourniquet |

New titles for mine
Horse Feathers - Cynic's New Year Lost in the Trees - A Church That Fits Our Needs (this is a gorgeous album that everyone would like, especially Pea I think) Sigur Ros - Valtari Zammuto - Zammuto |
| Posted by Pea on May 1, 2012, 12:53am |
Sweet! I'll check it out tonight.
UPDATE: Not too bad. Sounds a lot like Wye Oak. It definitely has some nice elements, but I'm not sure if it's really fully clicking upon first listen. I'll give it a few spins! |

Holy shit is it ever! Great freaking album.
Been a pretty slow year so far, but I think my list looks like:
1. Jack White - Blunderbuss 2. Santigold - Master of My Make Believe 3. Joel Plaskett Emergenct - Scrappy Happiness
ummmmm....Sleigh Bells maybe? Miike Snow I guess? This year kind of sucks so far |

I could not agree more. This year is pretty damn amazing.
LOVE: Jack White - Blunderbuss Death Grips - The Money Store Niki & the Dove - Instinct Spiritualized - Sweet Heart Sweet Light Lower Dens - Nootropics Japandroids - Celebration Rock Chromatics - Kill for Love Mount Eerie - Clear Moon Hundred Waters - Hundred Waters Lotus Plaza - Spooky Action at a Distance Screaming Females - Ugly Sigur Ros - Valtari Ákos Rózmann - 12 stationer VI (crazy shit but I love it)
Good: Santigold - Mast of My Make-Believe The M Machine - Metropolis Pt 1
OK: Light Asylum - Light Asylum Here We Go Magic - A Different Ship Brendan Benson - What Kind of World |

Pretty sure you meant disagree? In which case, I agree with you. 2012 has been full of some kickass new music. Didn't you also not really enjoy many releases from 2011, wompwomp? What's yer deal mang??
Also, I don't think Valtari is streaming anywhere yet. We all plundered it from the open seas. |
| Posted by badchoices on May 1, 2012, 10:39am |
| Yeah I agree, 2012 has been full of solid releases. Enough that I can't keep up with it in the $ department. I almost pre-ordered that Sigur Ros today but after shipping it was over $40 |
