+A long overdue post, but during 2022, I listened to a lot of music.
+This is a list of some of my favourite albums from last year.
+It's in alphabetic order, because actually ranking albums is very hard when they're very different styles.
+I tried to write something about each album, but mostly it's just that I like the music.
+I find it very hard to quantify why I like some music but don't like other music, so don't expect any in-depth reviews.

+
+## Anna Von Hausswolff - Live at Montreux Jazz Festival
+
+I love Anna Von Hausswolff.
+Not much else to say: whatever she does, I'm gonna like.
+This live album is no different.
+
+## Backxwash - HIS HAPPINESS SHALL COME FIRST EVEN THOUGH WE ARE SUFFERING
+
+An ex-colleague of mine introduced me to Backxwash.
+While definitely more on the abrasive side of my music tastes, it's still a great album.
+
+## Black Flower - Magma
+
+Some nice Belgian jazz.
+A long time ago, my dad introduced me to Nathan Daems (the lead artist of this band) with Nathan Daems Quintet - Praten Dialect.
+I've been a fan ever since.
+
+## Carly Rae Jepsen - The Loneliest Time
+
+Some great pop.
+Not as good as E•MO•TION or Dedication, but still good stuff.
+
+## Cassandra Jenkins & Suhail Yusuf Khan - Chale Jaana: Cassandra Jenkins & Suhail Yusuf Khan Live
+
+2021's "An Overview on Phenomenal Nature" was great, but these live versions are something else.
+
+## Charlotte Adigéry & Bolis Pupul - Topical Dancer
+
+Deewee does not miss.
+Funny, good beats, nice singing: this album has it all.
+
+## Eliza McLamb - Salt Circle
+
+Great lyrics, great singing.
+
+## Ethel Cain - Preacher’s Daughter
+
+This one took a while to grow on me, but the concept alone makes this one of the best albums of 2022 for me.
+
+## Florist - Florist
+
+Florist does not miss.
+My dad would probably classify this as "campfire music", but I see nothing wrong with that.
+
+## Jenny Hval - Classic Objects
+
+Jenny Hval has a certain directness in her lyrics that I love.
+So clear while simultaneously also containing a deeper message.
+
+## King Hannah - I'm Not Sorry, I Was Just Being Me
+
+Great band, great music.
+I saw them live in 2023 and promptly bought a shirt (the design of the shirt was also quite nice).
+
+## Lucy Dacus - Kissing Lessons
+
+Just a single, but I can't not put Lucy Dacus in here right?
+
+## MUNA - MUNA
+
+Queer electropop, what else is there to say?
+I discovered them through a cover that Marika Hackman did of Pink Light and have been a fan ever since.
+(Phoebe Bridgers' appearance on Silk Chiffon also helps...)
+
+## Pinegrove - 11:11
+
+I actually only really started listening to Pinegrove after being dragged to a concert of theirs by my brother, but they quickly rose to one of my most-listened artists.
+11:11 is a great album and unfortunately it seems like it might be their last (so I'm very glad my brother dragged me along).
+
+## Shabason & Krgovich - At Scaramouche
+
+Krgovich really took me in with 2018's "Ouch", but At Scaramouche also really grabbed my attention.
+
+## Wet Leg - Wet Leg
+
+Imagine releasing this as your debut album.
+Funny lyrics, great instrumentation, and a great scream 😀.
