#MODERATEROCKMIXTAPE- December 2022
December is supposed to be a quiet time for the music industry but this month’s mixtape was the longest in ages. And there’s no hangers-on here either, I love all of them. And if you’re thinking the mix is maybe too long, trust me, the amount of tracks grabbing my attention could be downright inconvenient at times- although I had my Albums of the Year list to think about, I still couldn’t stop these ones from worming their way into my ears and working their way into my brain. On to 2023!
From Argentinian indie rock to British dream pop, from one-man ambience to a noisy collective, I hope you find something to love.
