We’re halfway through the year and sharing our favorite albums of 2022 thus far! Here’s Jade’s list of current favs and some words about each album.
Visit the store and check ’em out on our 2022 staff picks (thus far) display!
Florence + the Machine – Dance Fever
Closer to her more newer albums like High As Hope than it is to her earlier stuff like Lungs. If you like the haunting atmosphere and mildly depressing lyrics, you’ll like this one. 3.85/5
Seventeen – Face the Sun
Whether or not you are new or just getting back into K-pop, Face the Sun is a very good sample platter that has a song that will make everyone enjoy the album. Essentially, the charcuterie board of new pop albums. 4.25/5
Lady Wray – Piece of Me
If you’re looking for a nostalgic soul but make it modern, you have come to the right place. Perfect lounging tunes if you are looking for a bit of love in your nightly tasks. 4.65/5
Ado – 狂言 (Kyōgen)
Fulfill your craving for 2013 EDM pop here with Ado’s first album. Her songs “Odo,” “Freedom” and “Yoru no Pierrot” are the songs I’d recommend; if you like those ones you’ll love the album. 3.90/5
Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever – Endless Rooms
Perfect outdoor task music. With the lack of a main singer, the album leans hard into casual instrumental surf rock. Though, I like the more alt-rock side of this album. 3.65/5
