Black Math Horseman's Sera Timms tells us about her favorite albums of 2022

Post-metallers Black Math Horseman made a comeback this year with a self-titled EP, their first release in 13 years, and now vocalist/bassist Sera Timms (also of Ides of Gemini, Black Mare, and LVXURI) has made us a list of her favorite albums of 2022. It’s a very unique list, including Brooklyn post-punks Bambara, ambient/electronic musician Rabit, dark ambient/drone vets Locrian, a modern classical album from Arvo Pärt & Jeroen van Veen, a crystal meditations album, and more. Read on for Sera’s list and commentary…

Sera Timms’ Favorite Albums of 2022

Bambara – Love On My Mind

Bambara was my first return to live music “after” Covid. Kind of like a first love-I will probably love everything they ever make.

Oiseaux-Tempête – What On Earth (Que Diable)

The title says it all. Totally unique, emotive, powerful and bewildering.

Patricia Wolf – See Through

If Hilma of Klint’s paintings had a soundtrack.

Chasms – Parallel

Refined ethereal manna

Rabit – What Dreams May Come

Pop esoteric erotica

Arvo Pärt & Jeroen van Veen – Tintinnabuli

Heart wrenching depths. Transcendent Sorrow.

Locrian – New Catastrophism

Glaciers melting over Chernobyl.

Adelaida – Cántaro

A Spanish firefly singing. Mystical and hypnotic.

Debit – The Long Count

An electronic version of a Nature Sounds album. Blissful strange dream state.

Tryshe Dhevney – Exhale: Crystal Sound Binaural Meditations

The most deeply relaxing, healing headphone music. Everyone should take a hit.
