Best Single and Album of 2012

[empire3]

I need some new tunes and I think I heard 3 last year – Help me people……!
One small caveat(tough) but no Dino releated projects! My game 🙂

**Also I’m cheating a bit as I didn’t know Far had released a studio album in 2010 and I only found out via a Jonah Matranga tweet about items he was selling, So I did not listen to any new albums apart from dino stuff………So I will have to go with something classic.

1- Single – Johnny Flynn – Lady is Risen 2012 (new)

2 – Far – Really Here Water & Solutions 1998 (rediscovered – top 5 album!!)

Best non-Dino albums I bought in 2012:

Neil Young–Psychedelic Pill
Lee Ranaldo–Between the Times and the Tides
MV & EE–Space Homestead
Bird By Snow–Offering
Bob Dylan–Tempest

ed. I forgot to mention a single, maybe not the best, but it got me on an Everly Brothers kick; stoked to hear the rest of their covers:

Bonnie Prince Billy and Dawn McCarthy–Christmas Eve Can Kill You

They sing great together, the recording is pure, and Lara’s video is sweet; she’s a master of the Peter Weir sun and leaf shimmer, among other things.

Also, for those who’ve not listened yet, the first song on Psychedelic Pill is 27+ minutes long. Woohoo! My people.

@essgee09 Thanks for ‘Hum’ it’s like a bridge between Far and Deftones maybe!?
So my kind of thing ! love it.
