I should probably be disqualified for not listening to enough new music but:

- R.I.P.

- good kid, m.A.A.d city

- Galaxy Garden (sure, why not)

I keep thinking there's more but everything else I think of was released in 2010 or 2011 and I just started getting into it now. :/

I know what you mean. I feel bad for not supporting enough artists I like directly, I try to be a better listener in that regard, but honestly don't feel bad for listening to stuff from 2010/2011 now. I use to download mp3s from blogs and sites like pfork and fact all the time on a daily basis, and rarely listened to 99.8% of those tracks again. It's better to stumble upon things you really like months or years later than stay on top of the newest releases, radio premieres, etc. (unless it's an artist you really like.) Rather be out of the loop than superficial.

boards of canada album next year that you cant hear cos you're in court complaining about a book

These have been on repeat this year:

1991 - 1991

Actress - RIP

Sand Circles - Motor City

Boards of Canada (Live) Machinedrum rework

Drexciya - Vol 2

Animal Collective - Centipede Hz

Best Re-Issue

Paperclip People - The Secret Tapes Of Dr. Eich

CN - Obscure Research

Automatic Tasty - Speech and Silence

Photodementia - Fig. 03

wasn't Actress RIP from 2011? if it's not then I vote for that one.

a few more nominations:

Levon Vincent - Fabric 63 mix

Ricardo Villalobos - Dependent and Happy

Stephan Mathieu + Caro Mikalef - Radioland (Panoramica)

Claro Intelecto - Reform Club

I think it should be a tie between Actress and Legowelt. Did Legowelt release any albums in 2012? I can't keep up but it seems like he's always got something new, and it's always pretty good.
