This is not meant to be a best of 2012 albums list. It is just about the albums that surprised me most or the ones I’ve listened to the most during this year with no specific order.
Red Forest by If These Trees Could Talk
These trees
know how to beautifully build up tension resulting in some powerful
post-rock. They are from Ohio, USA, and this is their 2nd album. If you
like this one don’t forget to check out their previous releases: Above
The Earth, Below The Sky from 2009 and their homonymous debut EP from
2006.
An Awesome Wave by Alt J
We already talked about this one. This combines effective pop melodies with some groovy drums that drink from hip-hop beats. This is without a doubt one of this year’s revelations.
