Mixtape #67 : Best Albums of 2022

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

i want to give a loud shout out of thanks to all of you who have supported 5:4 during the last year, especially my most excellent posse of Patrons. As always, i’m starting the new year with a look back at the best albums of 2022, in a mixtape featuring one track from each album.

Here’s the tracklisting in full, together with the approximate start time for each track; links to buy the music can be found via the previous two days’ articles. Mixcloud has changed its rules on the number of mixtapes that can be hosted for free (now just 10), so from now on the 5:4 mixtapes will be available to stream and download direct from here.
