Kenny William’s Favorite Albums of 2022

Legowelt – Tips For Life

The Mozart of house music, the drum machines sound so good on the whole thing.

The Weeknd – Dawn FM

I think it’s his best record, also love the Jim Carrey narration and Daniel Lopatin production.

Beach House – Once Twice Melody

Band that everyone copies makes a record that doesn’t sound like anything else, surprised and happy about the amount of vocoder on this.

Brothertiger – Fundamentals Vol. 4

Beautiful mix of spa music / video game loading screens.

Charli XCX – Crash

She’s made so many great songs this is my favorite release she’s done so far.

Alex G – God Save The Animals

This album just sounds so good, lots of really cool choices with the arrangements.

Blood Orange – Four Songs

Wasn’t expecting the scaled back gloomy vibes + chorus pedal on 10 but it is really great.

Morabeza Tobacco – Shadow of the Cherry

Very pretty and cool songs that sound lost in time from somewhere in Sweden.

DJ Seinfeld – Mirrors (Remixed)

99% of all remix albums are horrible but this one actually sounds like people reworked the songs into something new instead of like teenagers button-mashing Fruity Loops. Especially liked the THEMBA one.

Viagra Boys – Cave World

Finally someone has made something that sounds FUN.
