Discovered, rediscovered, and/or heavily listened to in 2022.

Anxious
My friend Michelle wanted me to get acquainted with new emo and sent this my way, and now I think about an Anxious song every other day. The melodies get stuck in your head.
-
Wet Leg
I don’t know where I first heard this, but there’s something about plodding upbeat monotone rock that makes my ears happy.
-
Nilüfer Yanya
Damn this is catchy. And each song feels unique. Discovered here on Album Whale!
-
Joey Valence & Brae
I have to thank my friend Evan for this rec. Props to Joey & Brae for bringing back old Beastie Boys with a new age flair. I look forward to their rise. Peep the music video too.
-
Pity Sex
This album is from 2013 and I’m not sure how I almost let a decade pass before I was lovingly enveloped by the overdrive.
-
Cafuné
A viral TikTok find worth the newfound fame. Also look up Tek It singles in other speeds.
-
Marlon Williams
My wife has been listening to Marlon for years but only shared his music with me this year. I’m now also attracted to him.
-
Ray Bull
These guys went famous on TikTok with clever music mashups. That led me to their own mesmerizing music.
