Top 5 Indie Albums of 2022 You Probably Missed

by K. Chastain

A college radio DJ reviews some of the hidden gems of underground alternative rock released this year.

1. Sophia Bel - Anxious Avoidant

Michigan-born Québécoise artist Sophia Bel released her debut album this year, Anxious Avoidant, which showcases her soft and emotional vocals over a genre-spanning folk-rock landscape. Focusing on the themes of love, attachment, and the desire for connection amidst the difficult circumstances of a pandemic-afflicted world, Bel's intricate lyrics evoke the intimacy of a diary entry yet maintain a professional level of polish. From the spacey, synth-heavy hit “You're Not Real You're Just A Ghost” to the softer, folk-influenced ballad “I Won't Bite,” every track on this album has something a little different to offer its listeners. With its candid, youthful approach to the weighty topics of love and missed connections, Bel is able to deliver a mature and emotional story in a colorful, radio-friendly package.

2. SASAMI - Squeeze

An artist of many talents, Los Angeles-based SASAMI presents us with an intense yet beautiful collection of songs on Squeeze. Released earlier this year, SASAMI’s sophomore album draws inspiration from softer folk sounds while incorporating the heaviness of metal and hard rock. Capturing the power and brooding darkness of the nu-metal genre while maintaining a faithfulness to the melodic and narrative elements of country, Squeeze fuses these genres in unexpected and beautiful ways. From the power ballad “The Greatest” to the lamenting, chaotic “Sorry Entertainer,” SASAMI showcases her range of expression on this brilliant release.

3. Yumi Zouma - Present Tense

New Zealand-based collaborative project Yumi Zouma has released their seventh album, Present Tense, this year. Embodying their dreamy, shoegaze-inspired sound, this album is easy for new listeners to approach. From the catchy, hopeful track “In The Eyes of Our Love” to the softer and more dissonant “Astral Projection,” there is a delicate and pensive rhythm that runs throughout this album. Fans of their previous instrumentals will not be disappointed, as Yumi Zouma consistently delivers the dreamy sound they have become well-known for. The evolution of their music is evident in the experimental direction of some of their new tracks, as in the simplicity of “Razorblade” and the beautifully layered “If I Had the Heart for Chasing.”

4. Momma - Household Name

The Los Angeles rock outfit Momma returns triumphantly on the album Household Name. Drawing clear influence from 90's rock, this album delivers catchy and driving garage rock sounds with underlying poppy, upbeat melodies. The hit “Medicine” shows off the band's capacity to craft grooving, memorable riffs, while the more confessional “Rockstar” is vulnerable yet empowering in its lyrics about the beginning stages of forming a band. The album also slows into more tender, introspective tracks like “Brave” and “Rip Off.” Equal parts melodic and brash, this album brilliantly touches on the moodiness of decades past without losing its originality. 

5. Carla Geneve - Learn to Like It

Carla Geneve, who hails from Western Australia, brings us some of the most beautifully crafted lyricism of the year on her debut full-length album Learn to Like It. Weaving an intricate narrative from start to finish, each track immerses us in the gritty depths of our emotions while delivering a consistently clean folk-inspired sound. Some of the tracks, such as the high-energy “Dog Eared,” opt for the use of grungier electric guitar, while the softer ballad “The Right Reasons” sounds acoustically raw and real. The album thoughtfully explores themes of isolation, self-discovery and the desire for connections, which figure prominently on tracks like “Brisbane” and “Brighter than Blue.”

Play School - Carla Geneve

I just re-read that masterpiece i wrote on the 16th of August 2022. What has happened to me since then?

Well, i did that appointment, the strange man decided he COULD diagnose me with gender dysphoria, but he didn't. He also made a note that i fit the criteria for BPD, but didn't bother to diagnose me or follow up on that. Bastard. I broke up with that boyfriend, after over a year. Most of me thinks it was a waste of time, but it was a certain amount of fun I suppose. He then slept with my best friend's partner, making it much, much easier to let that part of my life dissolve, so thank you for that. Glad i got my grey hoodie back though.

Graduated high school. Moved to the city. No worries little Frankie, I know you've always wanted this, and I am happy (no matter how bitter i feel in this moment) that we made it this far. You're away from that stepmother, you're going to buy a car, and you can fuck anyone you want to from the comfort of your own bed. Speaking of, Little Frankie, you're dating someone 2 years older than you, you little minx. The only issue is that she isn't quite the exquisite, intellectual creator you once and continue to crave. Yes of course she is smart in ways you are not, she is a new form of creativity, and she is certainly one of a kind. But dear Little Frankie, you must utterly destroy this perfect character to love, because you'll never get what you want in a world where you sabotage your every opportunity of happiness. I am so fucking melodramatic. Life is good, easy, simple. Tomorrow I might sleep in, do nothing. Or I might get on an early train and surprise that girl you're dating. or is she a woman? when doth the girl becometh The Woman? I don't think I'll ever become The Woman, unless I decide that this lack of gender is too hard, and I keel over from sheer exhaustion, shoot me then Amber.

But hey Little Frankie! You've got some exciting employment opportunities (there's a better word for what i wish to convey, but alas, it alludes me) PROSPECTS. (that's the word) Oh, and you've been half-way accepted to a degree majoring in creative writing, so you can write the Great Australian Novel, if you ever gain the courage to try, the resilience to try after being squashed, or the motivation to begin trying.

What a joke. Half-assed poetry, can't even spell. Hey, writing's not that easy... but Grammarly can help. this sentence is grammatically fucked, but never more than you are, Bigger Frankie.

Still don't know what to do tomorrow. See the girl, surprise the girl. Run the risk that she doesn't want to see you. Stay at home, rot away, binge the L word, Shane will never know I exist. Why waste my money, time, and energy in my bed, when I could do it in hers?

If you’re like me, then your yesterday’s clothes are probably strewn around your bedroom in a mess. But hey, we’re all a mess in some way, right? What isn’t a mess is this lovely tune, Yesterday’s Clothes, from Carla Geneve, a striking singer songwriter from Perth, Australia. The raw chugging, gnarled and toasted indie rock charmer comes alongside news of her debut self-titled EP, to be released June 7th via Dot Dash / Remote Control Records. Carla explains the meaning behind the song: "Yesterday’s Clothes is about falling out of love with someone and feeling guilty about it. I wrote it at time when I was burning the candle at both ends and had no energy left to try to deal with the end of a relationship. Most of the words came when I was doing a long drive back from some gig or another in regional WA. I’d been up all night and had to be somewhere the next day, so I hadn’t had a shower or changed clothes. When you’re on your own driving for hours and hours it’s hard to avoid thinking about stuff that you don’t want to, so I guess I wrote the song to try to come to terms with my thoughts and situation." Yesterday’s Clothes follows her prior single, 2001, which you can stream below. It debuted at #1 on the AMRAP charts and attained a triple j spot add as well as support from Beats 1 tastemaker Matt Wilkinson. 2001′s stripped back candor and stark earnestness are a must for fans of the likes of Lucy Dacus, Phoebe Bridgers, and the likes. It’s no wonder Carla has been named one of The West Australian’s Six Brightest Young Stars of 2019. Pre-order her self-titled debut EP, here. North American tour dates supporting San Cisco next month include a date at Slim's in San Francisco on June 11th!
