How do you find this stuff? It's not on the radio. Music blogs? Read reviews from a magazine?
2012 for me in music has been Call Me, Maybe and Somebody that I Use to Know. And some hits from 2011. |

I'll probably neglect my list in music, but Kendrick Lamar's album was really good, and my list would have a lot of hip hop in it, as it was another good year, imo.
I think that Killer Mike's album was probably -my- favorite hip hop album this year, though I recognize that Kendrick's is probably more of an accomplishment, the Death Grips pushes the envelop more, and El-P's was probably more of a phenom... but damn I loved Killer Mike's album. Listened to the shit out of it.

I guess I did hear about this guy on NPR this year. Upbeat 1950s-like dance tune.

Shit yes, that Ab-Soul album was great, as was Schoolboy Q's. Fantastic year for Black Hippy/TDE.

Grizzly Bear and Dr. John both have outstanding new albums that I learned about on NPR.

I really like Regina Spektor, just started listening to her late this year. My favorite so far:

Some more I loved from 2012 (will be added to the OP soon):
Patrick Watson's Adventures in Your Own Backyard I forget how I ran across this one, but this is a phenomenal mood album. Fills your heart just listening to it. Parov Stelar's The Paris Swing Box Another album from a couple years ago -- I'll let this piece of awesomeness speak for itself. YUKSEK's Living On The Edge Of Time Just really solid pop rock. Smart, crisp, with no hint of snobbery. Neneh Cherry & the Thing's Cherry Thing Finally, somebody bringing the free-er parts of jazz to the world in ways that are accessible while still being very, very strange. Sky Ferreira's Ghost EP Dreamy pop with irresistable hooks. I've had a pretty stressful year and this album brought me down more times than I can mention. Low Roar's Low Roar Some more mood music -- more brooding, with some menace. I actually prefer the longer forms of the songs. OK GO's Of The Blue Colour Of The Sky Guilty pleasure. |

definitely swerving there...i tend towards shitty garage punk/rock, and hyper-local bands outside of hip hop

I haven't listened to a ton of albums that were released this past year. But far and away the best one I've heard is Generals by The Mynabirds.
My favorite new band of the decade. So far. Both of their records have been phenomenal. And they put on one of the better live shows I've seen in a while. |
