Top 20 albums of 2022: #’s 20 – 16

I reviewed 42 albums last year. So, here’s who came in the top half of those records.

#20: Adam BFD – Innervisions

2022 was a great year for electronic music, and this EP from Adam BFD was among the best pieces of EDM I heard. It thumps from beginning to end and should be in every DJ’s toolbox.

#19: System Efe – Carpetania

Speaking of great electronic music, here’s another one for you. This EP is dance music for androids.

18: P.E. – The Leather Lemon

What do you get when you mix members of Pill and Eaters? You get P.E., and their excellent debut album of post-punk, electro, and art rock.

17: Primer – Incubator

Another album that blends electro well (with dream-pop in this case), is Primer’s Incubator. It’s a fun listen, even though a lot of it is about a break-up.

16: BODEGA – Broken Equipment

I think it’s a guarantee that anything released by Brooklyn post-bunkers BODEGA is going to end up in my top 20 of any year. Broken Equipment was another solid album from them, with great beats and sharp, biting lyrics about everything from consumerism to British disaster movies.

Who’s in the top 15? Come back tomorrow to find out!

Keep your mind open.

I've been a music fan since my parents gave me a record player for Christmas when I was still in grade school. The first record I remember owning was "Sesame Street Disco." I've been a professional writer since 2004, but writing long before that. My first published work was in a middle school literary magazine and was a story about a zoo in which the animals could talk.
