Best of 2022
Tumblr media
Here it is: my yearly summation of the small labels working through rising costs and punishing manufacturing delays, the artists making music unafraid of chance, and the freaks supporting all of it in spite of the daily consequences of a ruling class increasingly detached from reality. Lots more that deserve accolades from more prestigious publications, and I'm sure they'll get 'em, but these are records that were inseparable from certain points of my year, including now. Yeah, they were all kinda my favorite at one point, and could be again tomorrow, but Kilynn Lunsford is #1 for a reason. Glad to be back at shows, however sparingly, experiencing all the awkward camaraderie and room-silencing/room-flattening performances that come with them. It all feels more necessary than ever. Up and up in a world of lava. Happy New Year, everyone.

Kitchen’s Floor — None of That (Petty Bunco)
Tumblr media
Photo by Alex Gerrans
None Of That by Kitchen's Floor
Brisbane’s Kitchen’s Floor has been churning over-saturated sludge punk since the late aughts, releasing material on Australian labels like R.I.P. Society and Bedroom Suck, but also internationally on Bruit Direct Disques, Siltbreeze and now Petty Bunco. None of That is dense and dark and lumbering. It brims with inchoate rage. There’s a song called “Blood,” which, amid that clanging guitar thunder and clumping brute force drums, Matt Kennedy can be heard squalling “Blood, blood, everywhere,” repeatedly. If you’re looking something light and inconsequential to while away an afternoon, keep looking. If you like punk rock that hits hard and hits again, well, here’s your jam.
These songs are like Leviathan’s view of human life: nasty, brutish and short. A couple make a lasting impact in just over a minute; a bunch of other hover around the two-minute mark. The relatively epic “Northern Fort,” seeps in like sweet, unhealthy vapors, its nodding, dreaming melody pounded down by reverberating drums and thick over-tone haunted guitars. And yet though these cuts are mostly bludgeoningly heavy, they are never dull. “Yamsi” lets the bass do the driving, freeing guitars up for frenetic trebly upbeats. “Drink”’s guitar riff whirls like a cyclone, tossing wreckage out centripetally from the eddy’s center. “Before Dawn” is a denatured campfire song, with Kennedy singing blankly in unison with a female vocalist, tambourine dragging listlessly behind acoustic strumming. An unhinged keyboard solo erupts from its woozy jangle. “Xans” is even odder, clearing the fug for an offkilter keyboard melody that sounds like 1960s French film soundtrack tipped over on its side.
The point is they’re all songs—whether they last 60 seconds or 200. They all have their interior logic. They all have their distinct melodies, though sometimes they’re shrouded by an onslaught of dissonace, They’re all different and they all land with tremendous force. Look this band up on Google, and you’ll get all kinds of tips about how to keep your Kitchen’s Floor spotless, but when crud and noise sounds this good, why bother?

SOMEONE ON TWITTER HAD A BANGER NAME FOR THE AU THAT I GUESS THIS IS NOW….
I will now tag everything Gravity Falls I make as the Fixer-UpperAU
Cool name thought of by @acinomthecat Thank you my ass was struggling to come up with a name
It’s kinda a mix of the HandymanAU and the Uncle Bill AU with a dash of Bill actually listening in therapy (shocking I know)
Tumblr media
Sneak peek of the Halloween themed storyboard I’m doing (no I’m not coloring it that’s too much work)
Also the theme song of the AU is Against the Kitchen Floor by Will Wood. SO FITTING if you listen to the lyrics.

Someone on twt said you can see how red Merlin’s eyes are and that he’s probably been crying all night.
And I’m thinking how he obviously never left Arthur’s side after the magic reveal, so he probably would’ve been a few feet away and Arthur definitely would’ve heard him sobbing quietly through the night but he felt too betrayed to even look at him, let alone comfort him.

being a Will Wood fan is really weird because one minute you're jamming to a cowboy song about a drug trip and the next your ugly crying because this man's pet rat died. oh, and Jon Arbuckle is there too!

Chris Liberato's 2022 favorites
Tumblr media
Photo of Courtney Marie Andrews by Chris Liberato
2022 got off to an unusually slow start for me, as far as connecting with new music. Fortunato Durutti Marinetti’s Memory’s Fool, released in March, was both the first record that grabbed me and the one that I returned to most often. To give you an idea of what it sounds like, imagine if Robert Forster grew up listening to Bill Callahan/Smog, and made a record with Robert Wyatt producing, and you’ll be pretty close. Right up there at the top of my most-played pile, next to Fortunato, is Courtney Marie Andrews’ Loose Future, which didn’t come as much of a surprise to me given how hard I fell for her last one, the stunning Old Flowers. Although, getting the chance to see her and her band perform the Loose Future material live last fall (more on that below) definitely helped seal the deal.
A couple of records that did surprise me, in terms of how much time I ended up spending with them, were the latest Jeanines, Don’t Wait For A Sign: a pure comfort listen whenever I needed it this year, which was often. And Free Time’s Jangle Jargon, which barely made a blip in the indie world but seems like it would appeal to Destroyer fans — the way it evokes that project’s Thief and Streethawk eras — and definitely fans of Twerps, whom they uncannily resemble on standout track “That’s Rare,” and whose former frontman Marty Frawley guest stars on the album. It’s an addicting one. I also want to give a special nod to the Morteza Mahjubi compilation, Selected Improvisations From Golha, Pt. I, even if it might not fully qualify as a 2022 release (it was released digitally and on cassette in 2021, with the vinyl ultimately landing this year). I discovered it via a Steve Gunn tweet in November and it’s since become my go-to morning record — equal parts ghostly and jaunty, improvised piano pieces from 1950s/60s Iranian national radio broadcasts that are sure to get your bones rattling. 
I also saw more live music in 2022 than I have in years, both for obvious Covid-related reasons and because I decided I needed a break from school, and therefore had more time and energy than usual to make it happen. Of the shows I caught, my favorites were Quivers, who made it over from Australia in support of last year’s glorious Golden Doubt, and Courtney Marie Andrews, who played to an adoring, capacity crowd at Cambridge’s Middle East in early November. Something these two acts had in common was an obvious love of playing music with their respective bandmates, which translated into an infectious onstage energy, in both cases, that left me feeling a lot lighter at the end of the night. Picking a favorite single moment is easy: it was the absolutely devastating centerpiece of Andrews’ set, “Near You,” a song I wasn’t familiar with prior to the show but which left a raw, empty feeling in the pit of my stomach that I can still viscerally recall (you know, in a good way). In a very different way, catching Kraftwerk and their synchronized screen show at The Wang Theater ruled, too. As did seeing Berlin resident Ned Collette, not once but twice, after catching Collette fever last Spring when I picked up the reissue of his debut, Jokes & Trials, and subsequently deep diving into his back catalog. 
But that’s enough out of me. So, without further adieu, here are the records I enjoyed the most this year. If we reviewed the record here at Dusted, or I covered it in a different context elsewhere, I made sure to link to it.
