Getintothis‘ 2012 albums of the year reaches the penultimate stage.
20.
Baltic Fleet: Towers
Blow Up Records
Paul Fleming‘s kraut-imbued industrial pop married hooks with inventive musicianship resulting in one of the finest records from Liverpool in years.

19.
White Hills: Frying On This Rock
Thrill Jockey
The psych wizards cast their greatest spell yet with this expansive monolithic slab of electrifying spacerock.

18.
Grimes: Visions
4AD
Claire Boucher served up a hypnotic set of wondrous weirdo pop which was as darkly unsettling as it was naively childlike. A cornucopia of delights quite unlike anything else.
17.
Liars: WIXIW
Mute
Liars reasserted their crown as the leading players in monstrously mutating rock jams this time turning their attention to fried electronic beat beasts. Scary shit.

16.
Woods: Bend Beyond
Woodsist
Timeless Americana which ol Shakey would be proud of. Nuff said.
15.
The Invisible: Rispah
Ninja Tune
Bold brooding introspection reflecting on life, death and everything in between.

14.
Sharon Van Etten: Tramp
Jagjaguwar
Bewitching droney odes which carry the power of Patti Smith boxed up by Bon Iver – a tender, raw treasure.
13.
Peaking Lights: Lucifer
Weird World
More Augustus Pablo swamp stoner brilliance, as LA duo Aaron Coyes and Indra Dunis managed to better their debut 936. The spin off Lucifer In Dub was a tasty unexpected addition.
12.
VCMG: SSSS
Mute
Ferocious dungeon disco from veterans Vince Clarke and Martin Gore. It’s a world away from Oh L’Amour.
11.
John Talabot: Fin
Permanent Vacation
This year’s Swim, Talabot etched the sound of the summer deeply into this record which can already be hailed as a dance classic.
