Before I went all classical (still mining that seam quite heavily) I would have said Shearwater's "Animal Joy", no contest. Mind you, this week sees the release of Carina Round's "Tigermending" and Peter Hammill has a new album out, winging its way to me. You never know...

Molly Nilsson: "History" I enjoyed that album a lot too (and I'm going to see her live next month) but as far as I know it was released in December 2011. My 5 favourite albums of 2012 so far include: Amanda Mair (self-titled) (this is what pop music should be) Butterfly Boucher (self-titled) Kate Miller-Heidke  Nightflight Kathleen Edwards  Voyageur Norah Jones  Little Broken Hearts Other favourites: Anneke van Giersbergen  Everything Is Changing Choir of Young Believers  Rhine Gold Clock Opera  Ways to Forget (a very strong debut, but 6 of the 10 tracks have been released before as singles  the earliest one in 2009) Dry the River  Shallow Bed Ingrid Michaelson  Human Again (her first album that I liked from start to finish) Siniad O'Connor  How About I Be Me (And You Be You)? The Ting Tings  Sounds from Nowheresville (not my usual style but I enjoyed it a lot) + The Hunger Games soundtrack Quite enjoyable listens: The Cranberries  Roses (has some filler but overall I liked it) Empty Music  Werewolf (actually an EP) Grimes  Visions Myrra Rss  Kveldzlfur (sounds better live) Disappointments Florence + the Machine  MTV Unplugged (this could have been so much better) Katie Melua  Secret Symphony (after a very good album that promised a lot, here's an album with just one song that doesn't make me sleep (The Bit That I Don't Get)) Kent  Jag dr inte rddd fvr mvrkret (well it's a pleasant background music but they used to be so much more than that) The Saintbox (self-titled) (two tracks out of seven are good. the rest not so much) The Shins  Port of Morrow (nothing interesting, really) Susanne Sundfxr  The Silicone Veil (the first two tracks are very good but I won't be coming back to listen to the rest anytime soon) I've listened to Marina & the Diamonds' Electra Heart only once and I have mixed feelings about it so I can't classify it to any of the groups yet. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 28 Apr 2012 14:12:36 +0000 (UTC) From: Jeff Hanson Subject: 5 Favorite Albums of 2012 Like Neile, I haven't bought a whole lot of albums this year (13), and many are older albums.
