While the world celebrated music’s return to the stage, post-pandemic classics kept coming out of the studio. Here are 10 of the best albums of 2022.
Sometimes quantity does equal quality. Not only does Big Thief take the prize for the longest album title on this list, but this double record is a monster too, clocking in at 80 minutes long. But every one of the 20 songs of this album has something interesting to offer. Led by lead singer and guitarist Adrianne Lenker, the band range across folk, indie rock and out-and-out country. Lenker at turns sounds joyous and broken, but her stunning voice is magnetic.
In the main this is a minimalist, muscular rock album full of Yorke’s acerbic wit, but there are moments of experimentation and funk, too. And while Yorke and Greenwood are the main attractions here, don’t miss the sublime drumming of Tom Skinner.The post-breakup album is a staple in pop music and the third album from New Zealand group The Beths is a classic of the genre.
