2022: The Year in Music, Part 1 of 4
Here’s Part 1 of 4 of the 2022 edition of my annual favorite tracks list. I love being able to find live, in-studio performances or decent live recordings (whenever possible) of these tunes to get a better feel for them. Plus a Spotify link to studio recordings for good measure.
Fontaines D.C.: “Jackie Down the Line”
Julia Jacklin: “I Was Neon”
Anyway Gang: “Real Thing”
Pillow Queens: “Hearts & Minds”
Kurt Vile: “Fo Sho”
BODEGA: “Statuette on the Console”
Mattiel: “Jeff Goldblum”
Widowspeak: “Everything is Simple”
Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever: “My Echo”
Plains: “Problem With It”
