Winter 2022-23
Standout albums from the winter of 2022-23
-
Joy Division
Joy Division is one of those bands where intellectually, I know their songs are sad but emotionally, they make me feel good in a deep-down way. Let their hit songs guide you into the rest of their short-lived catalog.
-
Goldfrapp
Try and ignore all the abuse Target's TV ads gave Goldfrapp. This album is a sensual beauty bubbling up through singed electric waves.
-
Johnny Marr
Turns out that the guitarist and co-songwriter of the Smiths doesn't need Morrissey to make great songs. If you only listen to one song, make it the opening track: Spirit Power and Soul.
-
CAKE
Best when loudly sung along to in the car. Listen past the hit singles and you'll discover unique, irreverent pop arrangements.
-
Fleet Foxes
I was excited to hear an album that reaches the heights of their first release. The perfect haunting melodies for keeping warm in winter.
-
The New Pornographers
The early 2000's elevated power pop to new heights and this album is a prime example. Neko Case is a majestic knife that cuts through everything.
-
Lupus Nocte
This 80's synthwave EP is the new Girl from Ipanema: a song that gets stuck in my head ALL.THE. TIME. Also a favorite of YouTube videos, I've decided to embrace it to what my daughter calls, "an embarrassing degree."
