Kicking things off with amazing records from Artsick, Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever, Brandon Coleman, Bonobo, Spoon, Big Thief, Tony Molina, Cool Maritime, Marci and Sean Thompson's Weird Ears!
I’ve got a lot (more) new music to catch up with now - super excited. Especially the Tony Molina, who I had no idea had a new album. He’s one of my favorites and love his first two albums and the Ovens stuff. I don’t hear Weezer; I hear Beatles by way of Teenage Fanclub but with more of a punk aesthetic. I don’t know if you’ve listened to Dazy, but OUTOFBODY is a distortion-filled, power-pop gem that, like Molina, never crossed the 2-minute mark. It’s in my best-of list for sure.

Coming back to this: I was already a bit of fanboy for Spoon, but this record? Whew! I feel like it gets a little bit better each time I play it. "Lucifer" is on my list too, and even just trying to pick 2-3 favorites was tough.
Thanks Kiley, I'd somehow missed there was a new RBCF album out. Loved the first, lukewarm on the second, but looking forward to giving them another go with this one.
What a year! And what a list! I wondered if 2022 would be kind of a dry year for music. I couldn’t have been further off the mark. I’ve got a few of these on my list as well.
More importantly, there’s several here that I missed the first time around.I’m stoked to check them out!
