As we wrap up 2022, Inhailer Radio wanted to share some of our DJ's favorite releases of the year. Here are their top picks:
Pete Riddle's Ohio favorites:
Night Owl: Empress
Caamp: Lavender Days
The Laughing Chimes: Zoo Avenue
Guided by Voices: Crystal Nuns Cathedral
In The Pines: Impossible Daze
In Pete's words, "From the indie rock institution Guided by Voices to the American primitive of Night Owl, 2022 was a great year to support homegrown music from Ohio."
Nils Illokken's top picks:
Big Thief: Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You
Cate Le Bon: Pompeii
Orlando Weeks: Hop Up
Nilüfer Yanya: Painless
Charlotte Adigéry and Bolis Pupul: Tropical Dancer
Nick Hakim: COMETA
Beach House: Once Twice Melody
Flasher: Love Is Yours
The Smile: A Light For Attracting Attention
Tomberlin: i don’t know who needs to hear this
In Nils' own words, "Big Thief were far from my favorite group, but in 2022, everything changed. DNWMIBIY (The acronym really rolls off the tongue) changed my perspective on them fully and due to not just this album but their other 4 studio albums as well. They were my top played artist of the year. It’s one of the few great double albums that justifies having such a length for an album and for a Feburary release, to have it be my #1, they did everything right."
Clara Stryker's favorites:
Julia Jacklin: Pre Pleasure
Dehd: Bad Love
Maggie Rogers: That's Where I Am
Santigold: Shake
Charli XCX: New Shapes (feat. Christine and the Queens and Caroline Polachek)
Rubblebucket: Morning in the Sun
Spoon: My Babe
Panda Bear & Sonic Boom: Edge of the Edge
Whitney: BLUE
MUNA: Silk Chiffon
Clara's favorite two overall albums of 2022 were Julia Jacklin's Pre Pleasure and Charli XCX's CRASH. Two different vibes, but both about love, breakups and living life, Clara recommends, "Listen to Pre Pleasure to get up in all your feels and CRASH to just jam out."
