I didn't get much new this year, but I thought these two were worth a mention:
Tobacco - Maniac Meat
I happen to be fond of dirty, gritty beats but I'm sure it's not an album for everyone.
And probably my most favorite (and most played) release this year...
The Bamboos - 4
It's funky, and soulful, and features a track with Lyrics Born -- all good things in my book.
