Zoetropia’s Top 10 Albums of 2022

I listened to 124 records released in 2022. Here are my favorite. First, an unordered list of albums I really liked that didn't make the top 10:

The Beths - Expert in a Dying Field Widowspeak - The Jacket Margo Cilker - Pohorylle Kevin Morby - This Is A Photograph The Smile - A Light for Attracting Attention Spoon - Lucifer On The Sofa Pinegrove - 11:11 Jim Bryson - Country Wifi Porridge Radio - Waterslide, Diving Board, Ladder to the Sky Destroyer - Labyrinthitis Color Green - Color Green Night Shop - Forever Night Special Interest - Endure MJ Lenderman - Boat Songs caroline - caroline Jake Xerxes Fussell - Good and Green Again

And now for the top 10:

10. Beach House - Once Twice Melody: Beach House always seemed to be a band itching to put out a double album. They even put out two albums back to back in 2015, so just seems like they saved us the two month wait this time around. If you like Beach House, you know what you're getting into here: their full, expansive sound polished into a glittering diamond. And fans will find much here to treasure and rediscover over repeated listens. Some of their finest ever songs are "buried" deep in here. Thus the pleasure of a double LP. And while they're not the type of band to explore a bunch of different ideas across an hour and a half, if you're looking to get lost in their vibe, this is the perfect record to do it in.

9. Deserta - Every Moment, Everything You Need: No matter how popular music trends shift and change, I will always have a soft spot for shoegaze. The more sweeping, dreamy, and cinematic, the better, and I'm instantly transported to late nights lying in bed, headphones on, adrift in a sea of sound. This album brings me exactly that. Tidal waves of reverbed guitar, walls of synths, whispered vocals, you've heard it all before, but it's hard to do it without sounding like a parody or too much of an overt homage. I'm not quite sure what the formula is to avoid all that, but this record does it. And I'm more than happy to be swept away.

8. black midi - Hellfire: There's something about this band's ability to rein in their careening noise with such precise control that really speaks to me, and this record captures the excitement of never really being sure what lies around the next turn. Sometimes this approach can backfire, but here, every choice works for me. It's dizzying but in a good way, less like a tornado and more like a thrill ride. But either way, I'm still paying attention.

7. Witch Fever - Congregation: Nice to have a new band that still makes me feel like I can put these weary bones back in to the pit were I to see them live. This is exactly what I look for in punk music: heavy, angry, and cathartic. Sour might very well be my favorite track of the year, and the rest of the record doesn't lag far behind in making me want to scream along and toss a few people around in a pit. Every year needs a good "fuck yeah/you/everything" record and this is mine for 2022.

6. Horsegirl - Versions of Modern Performance: What do you get when you have a young group that listens to way too much 90s indie (with a heavy emphasis on Yo La Tengo), plenty of music family bonafides, and the quietly revolutionary spirit of being a low-to-the-ground guitar band in the age of poptimism? A band much like this, I would guess. Their balance of tuneful and noisy is always something I always dig, and hell, if you get the cred of Yo La Tengo having you open for them at one of their Hanukkah shows, you are aces in my book. The kids are alright, after all.

5. Camp Cope - Running with the Hurricane: Well if this is going to be it for Camp Cope, they picked a good one to go out on. It's a bit of a shame, sure, as this record feels like they have finally found a sound they could call their own. Georgia Maq's vocals soar as ever and the relaxed instruments let these heartfelt songs speak for themselves. They contain big feelings in a small space, like a lonely teenager in their bedroom. And who wasn't ever one of those? This is music that makes my heart swell to bursting. It hurts but it feels so good.

4. Big Thief - Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You: I was not as quick to crown Big Thief as the best thing to happen to American indie as a bunch of other people were, and my distaste for hyperbole still prevents me from doing so, but I can not deny the strength of the song catalog they have built up over the years. And more importantly (to me, at least), they have started learning how to put together proper albums. And here is the ever important double album, crucial to every rock band's trajectory. Rare for a double album, there's a hardly a bum track here, and easily some of their best. It's hard to hold a listener's interest for almost an hour and a half but Big Thief bounces across tempos and styles enough to keep things interesting throughout and there's nary the stink of filler. This is the work of a band that is clicking on all cylinders and letting themselves stretch out a bit. The looseness suits them.

3. Black Country, New Road - Ants From Up There: A band that figured out how to put it together just to have their lead singer up and quit on them. It may be one of the great "what could have been" stories but that is yet to be determined. At least we have this, an intricate, incisive, lush collections of songs that finds this collective all working at their absolute peak, delivering on the promise of their debut and then some. The songs are just a bit more accessible but still just as maximal, and they crest and crash with a lovely sweeping catharsis. This is big music made for and by people with big hearts, and boy do I love to be caught up in it.

2. Plains - I Walked With You a Ways: The indie country revival (and its continuing to request to reclaim a rich genre from the bros and corporations that have dominated its image for decades) couldn't have much better representation than this record. Jess Williamson and Katie Crutchfield both grew up with and among country music and here, they put their considerable songwriting powers to work carrying the tradition forward while putting plenty of their individual personality into each song. It's a lovely, rich listen, and I do hope it's not the only thing we get of these two working together.

1. Gilla Band - Most Normal: Why do I love this band that sounds like someone having a nervous breakdown in the midst of an agonizing bout of tinnitus? It's not something I can quite put into words. I guess that's why the music is there. It's certainly not for everybody, and Gilla Band is probably my favorite band that I can't recommend to most people I know. But if you ever need a pounding sledgehammer of noise to flood your ears to maybe cancel out the noise that's coming from your brain, this band is here for you. May they always be.

13. MJ Lenderman - Boat Songs

Ακόμα ένας δίσκος που δεν προσπαθεί να κρύψει τις επιρροές του από όλα τα indie μεγαθήρια που σημάδεψαν τα 90s. Ευτυχώς κάποιος τα έχει γράψει ήδη καλύτερα από μένα: "listening to Boat Songs [...] is like joining your best friends out on the porch. The neighbors might be yelling and the bugs might be biting. But y’all are shooting the shit and letting loose, telling the same old stories again and again. But it don’t matter how many times you’ve heard them, because they’re from the heart—and in the end they always make you feel alive again.

Το πουλοβεράκι πάει στον Jake για τις μέρες που πάει για ψάρεμα στον Pigeon River, μην τον τρώει και η υγρασία.

When faced with the prospect of too much new material and too little recording time, the rapidly rising Asheville, North Carolina quintet Wednesday shifted to Plan B. Songwriter and lead singer, Karly Hartzman, and the band’s bass player, Margo Schultz, joined us by Zoom to explain how the nine-song all covers album, Mowing the Leaves Instead of Piling ‘Em Up came to be. The album’s cover art is a shakily hand drawn cartoon on yellow paper slapped on a plain white cover, which gives the work a devil may care and bootleg-y appearance. The contents themselves have an exhilaratingly rushed dynamic as well. “We had material to record a new album, but chose to just have fun and do something for the fuck of it at the Betty’s session,” Hartzman says, referring to Sylvan Esso’s studio in Durham, North Carolina.

Opening with a haphazard and feedback laden cover of Gary Stewart’s honky tonk classic, “She’s Acting Single (I’m Drinking Doubles),” is a brilliant move. But also a tribute to how a sturdily constructed song can stand up to hurricane force winds. The album’s tracks have a first take immediacy to them, but similar to the band’s breakout album, last year’s Twin Plagues (Orindal), all fit well to Hartzman’s vocal range. “Karly picked the songs we did because she’s the one singing them, so we need to make sure it will work for her,” Schultz explains.

Though the songs selected range from covers of The Smashing Pumpkins to Hotline TNT (a band Wednesday became friendly with during the pandemic), it’s the country tunes and an early Vic Chesnutt gem that speak the largest volumes. Roger Miller’s “Lock, Stock and Teardrops” was originally graced by the talking pedal steel guitar of the legendary Pete Drake. Here the opening pedal steel notes are quickly overrun by the squall of Jake Lenderman’s guitar, leaving only Hartzman’s vocals and Schultz’s gravitational bass line to keep the song from going fully off the rails.

Unlike many background tales that you hear, Hartzman’s love of country music was not passed down through generations. “My mom was really into Counting Crows and my dad liked Eminem and Jane’s Addiction,” she says. “My roommate is from East Tennessee and grew up listening to a ton of country music. During the pandemic we would sit in the yard and listen to what seemed like two-day long playlists of country songs,” Hartzman continues. Some of which she describes as being “almost comically depressing.”

Chesnutt’s “Rabbit Box” is so nostalgic and deeply personal that it would seem “un-coverable,” but the close harmonies of Hartzman, staying a step behind Lenderman’s lead vocal, tap an otherworldly well of empathy for the doomed artist. Stewart and Chesnutt took their own lives, while Big Star’s Chris Bell (who is covered here as well) also had a tragic end. It’s easy to gravitate to darkly veined stories, but Hartzman proves grounded on this topic as well. “I always have to be really careful with how much I put artists on a pedestal that literally sacrificed everything for their craft,” she says. “It’s easy to be drawn to characters like that, but you can’t romanticize it. I don’t want to live life destroying myself just to get my art out there.”

Wednesday’s star is definitely rising and this punchy collection of cover songs has a bit of something for everyone. With an upcoming tour of their own along with dates playing alongside Beach Bunny, Hartzman plans only to maybe weave in a few select covers along the way. “We’ll probably stick mostly to our own material, because we have so much now. The attention [since Twin Plagues] has been a huge confidence boost. It makes me feel I’m doing exactly what I’m supposed to,” Hartzman closes.
