Well folks, it's here. At last. The acts for the 2012 St Jerome's Laneway Festival have been announced. I think it's pretty damn good. No act of the stature of Menomena or Deerhunter as in 2011, but plenty of first time visitors with recently acclaimed albums in hand. Maybe it's a tad heavy on the chillwave vibe, but there are plenty I am excited to check out.
