DJ Duggery Presents the Frontiers of Weird writesCHIRP Radio’s Best of 2022: Comus Rivera

CHIRP Radio Best of 2022

Throughout December, CHIRP Radio presents its volunteers’ top albums of 2022. Our next list is from DJ-in-Training Comus Rivera.

This was without a doubt a funky year for music. Maybe it's because some of the stuff that's deeper in the weeds just so happened to manifest in front of me, but I found a lot of new sounds that threw me in every direction. Speaking of, some of my favorite releases over this last Sol rotation were...

 

 

 

 

 

 

#1 Body N. Will by Kumo 99 (Self-Released)

BUY: Reckless / Amazon

Kumo 99 Body N. WillKumo 99's Instagram headline reads "99 ways to die, choose one". Well, if I had to choose, it'd be in the middle of the jungle-breakbeat-eurocore rave that I imagine a Kumo 99 concert must be. I don't know how this jawn first found it's way to me, but the second the opener, Body N. Will, came on I was hooked. If you like too-cool-for-school deep electronic that draws from a million genres while still managing to have a whole lotta fun, I can't recommend this album enough!

Are these the BEST albums of the year--who knows? I didn't listen to everything that came out. But these are my favorites--in some cases, favourites--of 2022, listed by the very specific genre categories I most enjoyed this year:

Gomez & Cleo writesCHIRP Radio’s Best of 2022: Stephen Perkins

CHIRP Radio Best of 2022

Throughout December, CHIRP Radio presents its volunteers’ top albums of 2022. Our next list is from volunteer Stephen Perkins.

2022 has been an exciting year both for the debut of recorded material and live concerts from both new and so-called legacy acts.

With CHIRP once again being at the forefront of creating community in and around Chicago and music, many of us have enjoyed a welcome respite after almost two years of Covidity in 2020 and 2021 dampened our spirits to varying degrees. I ventured out to a larger extent and had the opportunity to see acts including Kraftwerk, Moderat, Adia Victoria, Oh Sees, Amyl and the Sniffers, Blondie, The Damned, Deadmau5, L7 and countless others and Pitchfork where Dry Cleaning stole the show.

 

 

 

Made of the Earth by Nightshift (Trouble in the Mind)

BUY: Reckless / Amazon

Nightshift Made of the EarthA Scottish, avant-pop unit, Nightshift has dropped Made of the Earth. Nightshift features Eothen Stearn (2 Ply and Difficult), Chris White (Spinning Coin), Andrew Doig aka Robert Sotelo of Order of the Toad and Georgia Harris (Slippy & Pelvis). Their sound can be described as hypnotic, polyrhythmic, emotive, and at times noisy, while the themes that they address are humanistic while embracing an optimistic and utopian view, as they explore confusion and the absurdities of life.
