Half Machine Lip Moves logo with ‘#212’ on it.

We’re back from our holiday hiatus! This is the first installment of our 2022 review, in whch we play some of our favorite or most notable tracks that were released in 2022. (I’m not calling this a best-of show because I never got around to making a best-of list. But these tracks would be on that list, or its honorable mentions, if that list had been made.) We began the show with some industrial tracks. We followed that with a set tracks by local artists. The third block was a set of synthpop, darkwave, etc. tracks. We played some EBM and industrial in the fourth block. The fifth block was goth, post-punk, and deathrock tracks. Then we wound down the show with some shoegaze, experimental, etc. tracks.
