Disclaimer: I most definitely have more than five favourite records from this year. I pushed myself to write about records over 2022 as it’s something I really enjoy doing and have published a few entries on the BFF Blog. I’m going to lean a bit harder into that next year but, for now, here’s five haikus about some records I loved from the last quarter of the year:

Late night, hot smog grooves
Reverb as a healing force
A new kind of love

Journeys with intent
No meandering noodles
A door to innate passage

Spice post-rock with jazz
Angular dystopia
Approach a zenith

Rage as cleansing force
Displays of dark heart humour
Welcome, season two

Ain’t no holiday
A journal of heartbreak and love
Ears glued to the car
