To be going along with, here's the next bit of the countdown of my favourite 50 albums of 2012:
35. The Devil's Sea - Sandfingers (Command To Destroy)
Side project from Mike Seed and Richard Quirk of The Chasms that hit different spots from their usual band but hit them all in the right way. Free download from here.
34. Black & Ginger - Churn Milk Joan (Self-Released)
Another side project, this one recorded at the Big Block 454 studios in Hebden Bridge and a follow-up to One that managed to be even better. Get hold of if for NYOP here.
33. Limbo - Eric Copeland (Underwater Peoples)
Black Dice's album was a bit of a disappointment for me this year. Far better was Eric's solo effort which managed to combine all of BD's quirkiness with dollops of personality and style.
32. Nothing To Write Home About - Flies On You (Self-Released)
This Leeds duo were among my favourite discoveries of 2012. Plenty of punk pizzazz but with lashings of unpredictable twists and turns. Loads more to come from these fellas, I reckon.
31. Alkotmanios Anarchica – Opus Null (Self-Released) (Pictured)
Of all the great Hungarian discovers of 2012, Opus Null produced enough great stuff to lay the most convincing claim to be the best. This, their debut LP, delivered on the promise of their demos and then some. You may still be able to grap a copy from here. If not, you've seriously missed out.
Stay tuned.
