BEST OF â22:
SONGS_of_the_YEARâŚ
//
âUGLY BUGâ was a choice cut from DOWNWARDâs terrific EP titled âThe Brass Taxâ & it found the Tulsa-based trio absolutely killing it while carving out quite the niche with their aesthetically apt & Nu_gazing blend of doomer_Alt meets slow_core meets proper_Emo.
âPHANTOM ENGLISHâ was the penultimate track from FASHION CLUBâs fantastic debut LP titled âScrutinyâ & it found the Los Angeles-based project tackling the dread of immersed isolation while making it sound downright delectable over an elegant piece of moody NewWave-infused ArtPop.
âSALAD SEASONâ was the opening track from FLATWAVEâS latest LP titled âNumbraâ & it found the quartet deploying their đ Phila Garagegaze in full while setting the tone across a 4:15 clip of drowsily soft_grunged, grandly amplified & Mazzy-esque AltRawk.
âAURORA LEAKINGâ was the lead track from FULL OF HELLâs âtour onlyâ EP titled âAurora Leaking From An Open Woundâ & it found the Rhode Island-based quartet bringing their caustic relentlessness across 2 ½ mins of blistered, blackened & death_metaling GrindCore.
âSOMETHINGâ was the opening track from HATERâs latest LP titled âSincereâ & it found the MalmĂś, SE-based quartet setting the scene in devastating fashion by absolutely nailing the sweet spot across a 3:40 clip that beautifully melds swirling gaze & menacing undertones.
âMIRAGE ROCKâwas a back-half cut from HELENâs latest LP titled âSomewhere In Nowhereâ & it found the PDX-based quartet bringing the certified goods across a 4:03 clip of gauzy & guitar-driven DreamPop that expertly pulls from just enough swirly ShoeGaze & crunchy AltRock.
