Below are more than 450 musical works (albums, mini albums and EPs) that crossed my radar during 2022. Thank you to everyone who contributed to the weekly new music threads on Twitter and introduced me to things I would undoubtedly otherwise have missed. All of these albums are worthy of time but I am not making any spurious grand claim that they are all masterpieces. In fact, some of them have not quite connected with me in the way they evidently have with others. The Bill Callahan and Weyes Blood albums strike me as the strongest examples of this, although I’m aware this probably says more about me than it does about Bill Callahan! I was also a bit disappointed with Bruce Springsteen’s Only The Strong Survive which, at least in part due to COVID conditions, but also artistically, is a bit overly meticulous, precise and lacking in vibe (his vocals are incredible throughout though). I can’t be completely impartial on Pink Hell by A Grave With No Name, on which I contribute percussion, but I’ve included it anyway because my creative input was minimal and because I think it’s a very interesting addition to the catalogue, and quite different from the previous two albums I was involved with. Trying to rank the many albums would be absurd, but I do intend to produce a narrowed down list of personal favourites between now and New Year’s Eve.
