my favourite albums of 2022

My favourite albums of 2022 (so far)

It's that time of year again: 2022 has been gone for a few weeks.  Anyone who tried to sell you on a "best of 2022" list before 2022 was over?  SNAKEOIL.

This list will change as I spend even more time with these albums.  I hate the idea of a AOTY list being a stagnant thing where we record our emotional reactions to albums without having an opportunity to put them down and revisit them a 2nd or 3rd time.

Top 10:

The Beths - Expert in a Dying Field

Soccer Mommy - Sometimes, Forever

Black Flower - Magma

Croatian Amor - Remember Rainbow Bridge

Caterina Barbieri - Spirit Exit

pigeon pit - feather river canyon blues

Mélissa Laveaux - Mama Forgot Her Name Was Miracle

Jockstrap - I Love You Jennifer B

Ada Rook - UGLY DEATH NO REDEMPTION ANGEL CURSE I LOVE YOU 

Old Fire - Voids

Top 11-20:

Shygirl - Nymph

Max Cooper - Unspoken Words

Florist - Florist

Salamanda - ashbalkum

Cavetown - worm food

Beyonce - RENAISSANCE

Naujawanan Baidar - Khedmat Be Khalq

µ-Ziq - Hello

Osheyack - Intimate Publics

Grace Ives - Janky Star
