BEST 2012 ALBUMS

Trying to do the list of the best albums of the year I realized there are only 3 albums I want to highlight from 2012, 3 LP's that I am sure I will keep listening in the future:

3.- iamamiwhoami - kin A very underrated album that it is hard to see in most of the 2012 lists I have been checking so far. Maybe because the media did not like the strategy that the band chose to make themselves popular. Anyway, still a astonishing dark electro pop album that The Knife would be proud to have made. 2.- Installed - Paisajes De Invierno A very unknown work from a mexican producer that bring us the warm of winter afternoons, that beautiful feeling that you can only enjoy in the coldest season of the year. 1.- Liars - WIXIW Ethereal, Dark, Abstract, Creepy, Fragile.... Some peole say they just copied the electronic-experimental formula of Radiohead. I dare to say that they improve it.  Not only the best album of the year for me, but also one of the most interesting work I have found in many years. A masterpiece:
