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”
