Elite Gymnastics: “Here, In Heaven” 4 & 5 (CFCF remix)
Sometimes the 4th/5th time’s the charm. CFCF takes EG’s brilliant original to new blissful, emotive heights.

Evian Christ: “MYD”
I like “Snapbacks Back” as much as the next guy. Unless, of course, the next guy is Evian Christ.

Evy Jane: “SAYSO”
The closest thing to the Weeknd’s breakout “What You Need” since the original. Now can they match it with a simillarly special full-length?

Frank Ocean: “Pyramids”
Pretty sure right after Frank Ocean delivered this 10-minute jam a/b strippers & ancient Egypt to Def Jam as a radio single, he yelled YOLO and shat in Lyor Cohen’s fishtank. (twitlonger)

Frankie Rose: “Know Me”
Unlucky to miss out on TP’s ULTRA-ULTRA-ULTRA prestigious fave albums list, as Interstellar is amazing. Punchy, direct, accesible space-pop.

Gang Colours: “Fancy Restaurant”
“I know you don’t care that much about money, but I’m gonna make some and take you out” = most perfect lyric of 2012. #saaahhhwoon

Grizzly Bear: “Falling Ute”
Or, how the Brooklyn indie-rock geniuses learned to stop worrying and unleash guitar virtuoso Daniel Rossen on all our asses.

Holy Other: “Love Some1”
Nobody has done creepy/sexy this well since Angelina was in her pomp (read: kissing her brother). Ghostly, undulating, alluring.

Hot Chip: “Night and Day”
Incredibly consistent LNDN electro-pop outfit reminds us when to listen to their excellent fifth LP In Our Heads.

How To Dress Well: “Ocean Floor For Everything”
One of the boldest, most original voices in music. Tom Krell’s 2nd LP is shaping up to be as stunning as his debut which was the best of ’10
