Here's a small selection of some of my favorite tracks released in 2012. Enjoy the concentrated loveliness. (:

Be sure to check out the annotations to read my thoughts on each individual song; I've also added "buy" links to help you explore the albums that feature these songs in full.

Also, I'd love for you to check out the music I create over at http://mandalaeyes.com; it was influenced by all the artists on this playlist.

Includes songs by Delicate Steve and Animal Collective.
