2012 Amber Friesen Year-End Lists

ok i'm 9 months pregnant and seem to be incapable of the qualitative analysis required to make a true top-10 list. instead i'll just list a few favourites from 2012 in no particular order:

albums:

- alt-J - An Awesome Wave

- Of Monsters & Men - My Head is an Animal

- Metric - Synthetica

- Policia - Give You the Ghost

- Beach House - Bloom

- The Jezebels - Prisoner

- Chromatics - Kill for Love

songs:

- "Taro" and "Dissolve Me" by alt-J were the 2 undoubted favourites. I also really liked "George Square Thatcher Death Party" by Mogwai, "Picking up the Pieces" by Paloma Faith, and "Ungirthed" by Purity Ring
