How To Destroy Angels - "Welcome Oblivion"
2013

One and only full length project from Trent Reznor and his wife, Mariqueen Maandig. Really great album.

Fuzz - "Fuzz"
2013

Ty Segall side project where he does the vocals and plays drums. Awesome. I saw them on tour for this album, and holy shit was it good.

Earl Sweatshirt - "Doris"

His official debut, and probably my favorite album by him as well.

Demon Queen - "Exorcise Tape"
2013

Oh man, I wasn't even thinking about this one at all, but this is a serious contender. Duo of Tobacco and Zackey Force Funk, and the combo works great.

Czarface - "Czarface"
2013

7L & Esoteric + Inspectah Deck = a great combination. This really reinvigorated all their careers when they were kinda stalling out.

A$AP Ferg - "Trap Lord"
2013

Strong contender for me. This got so much play when it was new. Probably my favorite release from the entire A$AP Mob, honestly.

Traxman - "Da Mind Of Traxman"
2012

Strong, strong contender for me. Out of all the early footwork full lengths, this might be my favorite, and it's at least top 3. A master of his craft.

Sweet Valley - "Eternal Champ"
2012

Amazing debut album from this side project of the front man of Wavves and his brother. Video game samples reworked in unexpected ways. There's a lo-fi, amateurish charm to this that keeps it dear to my heart.

Quakers - "Quakers"
2012

Production duo of Geoff Barrow and Katalyst with various rapper guests. Strong contender, this album is insane good.

These guys are fucking LOUD. Absolutely awesome debut.

Lil Ugly Mane - "Mista Thug Isolation"
2012

This dude is an enigma wrapped in a riddle for sure.. This debut is some really nicely produced trap rap, but over the years since then, he's been one of the most interesting, unpredictable artists in music. Anything goes.

Lana Del Rey - "Born To Die"
2012

She came in with a bang for her debut for sure. What a great album.

Jeremiah Jae - "Raw Money Raps"
2012

This album was waaaay ahead of it's time. This is definitely the first time I heard that slow, almost lazy sounding style that a lot of current rappers like MIKE and Earl Sweatshirt excel at. Really great stuff if you're open to it.

The Gaslamp Killer - "Breakthrough"
2012

A beast of an album, and definitely a strong contender for me. He takes the LA beat scene sound design and production techniques and applies them to his own personal brand of jazz-funk. Super tight.

Father John Misty - "Fear Fun"
2012

The one, the only...... Not my favorite by him, but a really strong debut for sure.

EPROM - "Metahuman"
2012

Strong, strong contender. I think he kind of pushed sound design forward with this release and the singles and EP's he had before this. I don't think electronic music was the same after he came in doing things this way. He figured something out.

DJ Earl - "Audio Fixx"
2012

Official debut from one of the titans of Teklife. I think he got better over the years and is still getting better all the time, but this is still a really strong debut.

Chrome Canyon - "Elemental Themes"
2012

Excellent synth driven music. Would recommend to fans of Tangerine Dream or Justice.
