Hi Pal,
2022 is gone but I’m still taking a look back at the most notable music releases of last year. Hopefully, I’m able to bring some new music to your radar as well, As always, here’s my disclaimer:
I did not listen to every album, EP or song released in 2022. These lists only contain the stuff that I listened to.
This list is strictly my personal opinion and as such is very biased.
This is a ranked list.
Albums
4 — The Nature of Patience by Fresh Wind
What began as a 6-track EP back in 2020 got reworked into a full-length album with 4 extra tracks. Overall, I like the way this album sounds. It has a slightly rustic feel that is balanced nicely with the electronic expressions one has come to expect of the genre.
This makes for an album that feels more organic — and sometimes even acoustic — than what one will typically expect from a lofi release.
3 — Memory Cards by Eluzai
Anyone who has been here long enough will know how much I adore concept albums and this is as good as they come. Heavily inspired by various classic console games, Eluzai is able to craft something that is equal parts nostalgic and unique.
