Best Sets Of CMJ 2012 // Recap

Now that the dust of CMJ has settled, the Frankstorm has taken its place. Just kidding. But seriously, stay safe everyone!

I’ve had some time to let the hype/buzz of CMJ die down, and decided it would be best to do my best shows of CMJ list/recap now. I let it all sink in, and here is my list of the top 10 shows I saw at CMJ this year. I limited it to newer acts, which would put bands like Local Natives/The Walkmen/Free Energy out of the running.

Here were my favorite sets of CMJ 2012, in order:

1. MØ
2. Foxygen
3. Port St. Willow
4. METZ
5. Savages
6. Mean Lady
7. The Deloreans
8. Empress Of
9. Cemeteries
10. Isaac Delusion

Honortable Mentions:

You Won’t
Prince Rama
