Albums of the Year

As the year draws to a close, Verity Sharp reflects on the last twelve months in adventurous music with a selection of some of our favourite releases from 2022.

It’s that time of year again! As the final days of the year draw near, Verity Sharp reflects on the last twelve months in adventurous music with a selection of some of our favourite releases from 2022, as picked by Late Junction presenters, producers and this year’s esteemed musical guests. We’ll be crossing the length and breadth of our musical universe, picking out some of the records that have been on heavy rotation at Late Junction HQ over the last year, including a blistering collaboration between Togolese rapper Yao Bobby and Swiss producer Simon Grab, music composed for four guitars by Bill Orcutt and the recontextualised Native American pow wow singing of Joe Rainey.
