Darkenin Heart reviews its 2022 playlist to feature the tracks that had the greatest impact by our selection, as something of an option in contrast to the yearly evaluative lists that are standard practice for the music press at this time of year. Instead of the prolonged full release list, we offer a playlist of the songs to which we'd like to listen in the long run to recollect what the year 2022 was like.
Among the melancholy Kraków Loves Adana, Ruth Radelet, and Adam Miller's excellent collaboration and the guitar-driven alternative of Terra Pines, 2022 has been a proper year for dreampop. Dark sounds like Astari Nite's recent work see us fascinated for the darker end of the spectrum as well, and Fringe Class's experimental electronic synth rock demonstrated that a new favorite can be found in the most unexpected places.
HEARTS OF 2022 is packed with these types of music, featuring over 150 bands and artists. For further enjoyment, an additional playlist on YouTube contains the nearly 270 videos we watched during the year.
HEARTS OF 2023 has already begun to take shape with a few tracks from upcoming releases, and is expected to be filled with the songs we love and cover on Darkenin Heart.
