Another dive into the music that I've been enjoying so far in 2022. The selection has a slightly more melancholy edge than I was intending, but otherwise just a sample of the outstanding sounds that have emerged over the past six months.
No surprise to see Andy Bell, Trentemøller and Momus, whose albums have been highlights for quite some time. Telefís (aka Cathal Coughlan and Jacknife Lee) and Katy J Pearson are relatively new acquaintances, whilst the prolific Dan Wainwright has released not one but two albums so far, the latest with his partner Elle Redding.
Enjoy!
