Episode 214: 1/29/2023 - 2022 Review Special, Part 3/3

Half Machine Lip Moves logo with ‘#214’ on it.

We finished our look back at some of the cool and notable music that came out in 2022, and sprinkled in some new stuff (i.e., tracks that come out this year, 2023). We started the show with some new synthpop and synthwave, and one track that stuck stuck out like a sore thumb. Then we played a set of goth and post-punk tracks from last year, along with a couple of new ones. That was followed with some darkwave, etc. tracks that came out last year. After tha was a set of post-punk tracks that came out last year. The midnight block was a set of dungeon synth tracks from 2022, and we finished the show with some shoegaze and experimental tracks that came out last year.

Note: this show was supposed to air on the night of January 29th but the files got corrupted and thus, the show didn’t air as it was supposed to. We’re very sorry about this!
