Honestly, my first post of 2012, known as “Class of 2012: 10 Artists to Watch This Year” was written in the last week of 2011. I mention it because we’re only 4 days into this new year and already quite a bit of progress has been made. A$AP Rocky released a new track. Grimes signed to 4AD and also released a new track (which I’ll have up for download in tomorrow’s Pick Your Poison). And Azealia Banks guests on the brand new Scissor Sisters single “Shady Love”, which has quite the awesome music video. I swear none of that was on my radar when I wrote about them, and I just hope that same momentum can keep going for the rest of the year. On more present matters, let’s talk about Pick YOur Poison, the second of 2012. Highlights today include tracks from Analog Players Society, Conveyor, Drowner, Frankie Rose, Night Genes and Smith & Burrows.
