The Getintothis top albums of 2012 countdown continues with slabs of heavy duty riffs, seductive Italo synths and two beauties from Liverpool.
30. 
Django Django: Django Django
Because
Quintessentially English oddball rock and roll channelling the spirit of The Beta Band.

29. 
Cat Power: Sun
Matador
A heady mix of swaggering yet bruised soul blues by one of music’s most fascinating characters. Let’s hope she returns blazing after her recent struggles.
28. 
Plan B: Ill Manors
Atlantic
One of UK pop’s most ambitious players returns with a storming set of politically abrasive yet hook-laden tracks. His brutal accompanying film is also worth a watch.

27. 
Stealing Sheep: Into The Diamond Sun
Heavenly
Rebecca, Emily and Lucy nailed their debut offering adding rich musical diversity to their already honed vocals; tribal rhythms, psych guitar and the Kazimier‘s Sam Crombie‘s production made this a real treat worth revisiting time and again.

26. 
Ty Segall: Slaughterhouse
In The Red
In a parallel universe Ty Segall would headline the Pyramid Stage and his squalling axe work would cause stars to burst upon. Slaughterhouse is the pinnacle of three superb records release in 2012 – it’s simply stunning.
25. 
Kindness: World You Need A Change Of Mind
Female Energy
A delicious cocktail of sensual grooves, tasty synth grinds and a heavy dose of saxophone. To these ears, Adam Bainbridge‘s debut recalls a certain Prince Rogers Nelson – no bad thing.
24. 
Porcelain Raft: Strange Weekend
Secretly Canadian
Italian New York-based Mauro Remiddi brings the sex to shoegazing; a positively gushing set full of restless rhythms and sensual melodies.

23. 
How To Dress Well: Total Loss
Weird World
An ode to being out the game, or completely fucked. Tom Krell struggled to match his remarkable debut Love Remains, however, there’s much to love here, particularly the Forest Swords co-penned Cold Nites.

22. 
John Heckle: The Second Son
Groove Distribution
Ok, we’re cheating, this was released right at the back of 2011. However, Heckle’s record is much too good to leave out, his fusion of massive Chicago beats with galactic grooves made this a staple throughout the last 12 months.

The Men: Open Your Heart
Sacred Bones Records
Searing post-hardcore from Brooklyn. What more do you want?
