ILM's 2022 End of Year Tracks & Albums Poll / NOMINATIONS THREAD

Another year, another poll, another chance to impose ranked order on twelve months of new music.

Once again your EOY team is moka, forks and me. The nominations process (and this blurb) is likewise unchanged:

- Nominations are open until midnight PST on Sunday January 1st.

- Everyone gets a max of 30 nominations, split as you see fit across tracks and albums. You can nominate 15 albums and 15 tracks, or 29 albums and 1 track, or 0 albums and 30 tracks - you get the idea.

- Please make sure it's obvious which nominations are tracks and which are albums.

- Always use the order "Artist - Track"/"Artist - Album", never put the artist second. It's hard enough to filter out duplicates as it is.

- Ctrl+F through the thread before nominating, or check the spreadsheets:

I have a couple of tracks that seem to have been released late Nov/early Dec 2021, are these eligible or is it strictly stuff released from 1/1/22 onwards?

My understanding is that it's pretty subjective and should be fine -- "year of impact" rule allows you to nominate anything that didn't really land until 2022. Only watch out would probably be if they were nominated and got more than one vote last year.

Tracks

Beyonce - Pure/Honey
Bjork - Atopos
Charli XCX - Yuck
Chloe - Treat Me
Ciara - JUMP
Ciara feat. Summer Walker - Better Thangs
Empress Of - Save Me
Florence + The Machine - King
Mitski - Love Me More

I've created a Tidal tracks playlist for anyone who needs it:

https://tidal.com/browse/playlist/080d2645-6bba-43f1-943b-500665d76ffb

I just copied the tracks list from the google link in the first post and imported that through soundiiz and then manually added any tracks that failed to import (if they are in Tidal). I think it's mostly good, let me know if anything is incorrect.

I probably won't bother with an albums list

Either through user error or a glitch, the singles playlist just got erased.
so i just rebuilt it. yuck.
everything should be up to date on the playlists now. shout if something is missing.

Singles:

Julian Lage - Auditorium
Immanuel Wilkins - Fugitive Ritual, Selah
Julius Rodriguez - Where Grace Abounds
Jamila Woods - Boundaries
Saba - One Way
Makaya McCraven with Brandee Younger and Joel Ross - So Ubuji

25/30

Table, this album was a great find:

Gerry Franke- Found Myself or Just I'm Dead

Love the variety in the tracks since it's a solo guitar/electronics guy, really good.

(I did know that Rilla EP after all, it's hard to remember all those Svbkvlt releases, lol)

Also, sorry for derailing with music discussion, but I was listening to that Eric Chenaux and wondering what he was using for all the woozy vibrato/pitch-bending (whammy bar, pedal, laptop?), and I found this Quietus interview that answered all my questions:

But I’m bending everything all the time. It gets so out of tune. So everything is always on its way somewhere else. I have my guitar tuned really low so I can really bend my low string almost all the way down to the other side of the guitar. I love that smeary smudgy sound.

“I have a tremolo arm and I lean on it. Basically I want it like a whammy pedal. I want deep pitch problems. I don’t even plug in until I’m on stage. The real playing before that point happens for me acoustically. I love the sound of my semi-acoustic not plugged in. That’s my main problem playing live: I can’t get that exact sound. But I don’t use any preparation. I’m just bending everything. And that comes from listening to music that’s pretty bent (laughs)."

Jordan, glad you enjoyed the Gerry Franke— it’s one of those records that wormed itself into my consciousness early in the year and never left, and if I’m being frank, I originally only checked it out because I liked the title and artwork!

TRACKS
The Center for Understanding New Trigonometries - Common Shapes and Uncommon Shapes

― emil.y

Hahaha oh i love this! Thanks for nominating it.

― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Tuesday, December 20, 2022 4:08 PM (two days ago) bookmarkflaglink

yeah, listening to this right now (title intrigued me) and having a fun time, worth seeking out

Most important track about geometry of the year.

TRACKS

Summer Walker, SZA, & Cardi B - No Love (Extended Version)

21/30

I don't remember which one of you suggested the images for the EOY poll should be done with A.I. and I've been running some tests and I'm loving what it's throwing back at me so I'm 100% on board with that idea. Pretty excited to see which tracks end up on the top 77 and what it throws back.

Here's a test I did with Saoko

https://i.imgur.com/b4AX0Wl.png

this might not be the final design.

my tidal playlist of the tracks is here: https://tidal.com/browse/playlist/080d2645-6bba-43f1-943b-500665d76ffb

posting it again because I just updated it and also realized that it was previously not public

we're up to date on both albums and singles. fewer nominations, fewer people subbing to the playlists than usual! constantly contracting community, ultimately each of us will have one avatar representing dozens of lost posters.

even so, nearly 500 songs and lots of great finds already. The last one for me was Shygirl's "Firefly"

which I have a vague recollection of being nominated last year but I see a release date of 07/01/2022 (UK formatting) and it didn't place so fair game?

TRACKS

The Comet Is Coming - CODE

10/30

even so, nearly 500 songs and lots of great finds already. The last one for me was Shygirl's "Firefly"

― “Cheeky cheeky!” she trills, nearly demolishing a roadside post (forksclovetofu), Thursday, December 22, 2022 2:53 PM (yesterday) bookmarkflaglink

Probably the best track but don't sleep on the album

This Rosalía AI cover could easily be a real cover except for a few goofy details. I wonder how many artists have already used Crayon for their cover, and if it's going to be a thing.

TRACK

Noisy - Alligator

1/30

That Synaptic Voyager record is sweet!

This Rosalía AI cover could easily be a real cover except for a few goofy details. I wonder how many artists have already used Crayon for their cover, and if it's going to be a thing.

― Nabozo

From my experience using it the past couple of days it tends to hit a certain uncanny valley when trying to do photo-realistic people - it gets pretty near though! - and hands seem to be a super confusing concept for AI, it keeps adding fingers or weird bumps where the hands should be.

Feeding it prompts for specific artist's styles works really good! It might be a matter of aesthetic preference but I love what it does when it deals with creating illustrations rather than photographs.

I say every year since I stopped being part of the team hosting the poll that I've mostly checked out of the ilm hivemind, and every year I still end up being pretty hivey. But damn, this year's noms might as well all be made up, because I have no clue what most of them are.

What is the Anz "You Could Be" of 2022? aka the song that placed in no other EOYs but will somehow place in ILM's top 3 and will probably end up as my most replayed track of the following year.

― billstevejim

It did place on beatports top 50 tracks of 2021!

So, maybe something from their 2022 list?

https://www.beatportal.com/features/the-50-best-tracks-of-2022/

Ooh thanks, I'll explore this. I like the 2 things I recognize here (Objekt, Sworn Virgins).

^ those are all trax btw

as one can prob tell from my noms i heard/listened to a truly pathetic amount of music this year. i'd like to blame having moved and gone back 2 school this yr but that's not rly an excuse since apparently i couldn't even bother to assemble even one personal playlist. yikes. anyway i probably will only vote with an abbreviated unweighted trax list this yr

I think your list repeats a bunch (within the list itself)?

That Fievel is Glauque track basically suggests they should be my new favourite band. Why wasn't I told etc, etc? :)

― Nag! Nag! Nag!, Friday, December 23, 2022 9:40 PM (six days ago) bookmarkflaglink

You have boundless riches to explore:

Zach Phillips (Fievel is Glauque / Blanche Blanche Blanche / OSR Tapes)

lots of own doubles in that list, dyl! you c+p’ed yourself basically.

…or what morrisp said

I'll stick with voting for what's already been nommed this year. Or is there anything I should vote for that hasn't been mentioned yet?

please nominate your own stuff, longneck! there’s so little afro and piano being nominated I’m at the point of not even bothering myself

oh lol sry, i knew i couldn't have possibly nominated that many ;P xp

xpost

...well sometimes not having too much to choose from can be a blessing. Lessens the risk of vote splitting.

i feel there’s also the aspect of getting tracks (and albums) on the record

XXXP: Thanks J. Sam! I got as far as Flaming Swords, which is almost certainly going on album ballot, so I'll definitely go deeper...

At least 71 people have nominated so far. Shrinking maybe, but still firm.
Breastcrawl stop being a diva and asking others to do your job when we all know you have a list ready ;) We're also counting on you ?

I swear I am about to nominate - one question: there's a track I'd love to nominate but the album it's from was released in the middle of 2021. The video for it was put out in the first quarter of 2022, so does that count as being equivalent to a single release in '22?

So, it looks like someone else nominated the first track of Beast Nest's Sicko but it's gone in the albums noms rather than tracks noms? If someone can correct that then that'd be great.

oh i know what I've done re: beast nest
I've nommed a track rather than the album as my playlist had the single release

meant to be the album sicko for me so u have another nomination emil.y

Please stay and vote, breastcrawl, we need every bit of help to avoid a repetition of what happened on the decades list :( If both lists aren't filled with music from Nigeria this year, then we might as well just give up now.

Lol, we should add this to the public stats at the end of the poll: vintage quality of the year = direct proportion of sub-saharan music in Top 77.
I'm being a little ironic and pushing it to the absurd. I mean, even breastcrawl as the most ardent advocate here likes a variety of pop music.

Kerri Chandler - Spaces and Places

Oh, I like a lot of different stuff as well, it's just that Nigerian pop was incredible this year, even on an album level, so if it's not well represented this year, it's never going to happen. I mean, I love Feel My Rhythm and hope to see it place, but I don't blame anyone for not keeping up with k-pop at this point.

i don't think there is much reason to worry about asake/rema/wizkid at the very least all placing fairly high this year. (though maybe if people don't vote then that is a concern...?) it's much easier to build consensus around more niche genre picks when there's a smaller field to begin with so i don't think this year's poll will be anywhere near as boring as the decade one.

i'm also voting for "feel my rhythm", that and "ditto" were incredible at least but kpop's most exciting days were years ago now

Charlotte Adigéry & Bolis Pupul - HAHA placed last year

― paolo, Thursday, 29 December 2022 11:24 (yesterday) bookmarkflaglink

less clearcut but we generally allow cases where the original release was more obscure/limited than the rerelease - I think we expect voters to consider whether it feels 2022 to them

Big surprise! Everyone now has 10 extra nominations to use between now and Sunday night (well Monday morning in the UK really - you can go up to 40.

ah there should have been a ")" after "really" there

@Treblekicker a bunch of your nominations were duplicates (you can check by searching this thread - I've deduped the spreadsheet)

Silvia Tarozzi & Deborah Walker - Canti de guerra, di lavoro e d’amore

I only discovered this yesterday (from the Boomkat list), it's really great!

Ah, thanks for answering my question, seandalai. I included it in my list b/c I figured it would be okay (it was the Akkajee track, which I think I was introduced to by ilx, not sure who posted it originally tho'). And yes, I love that ST&DW album - you should check Silvia Tarozzi's Mi specchio e rifletto as well, some beautiful stuff on there.

40/40

the pgf nuk song should be

pgf nuk - waddup ft. polo g

less clearcut but we generally allow cases where the original release was more obscure/limited than the rerelease - I think we expect voters to consider whether it feels 2022 to them

I won't oppose anyone voting for "Simple Headphone Mind" but it's also been my favorite Stereolab thing since at least a decade ago. iirc a vinyl rip was uploaded to Youtube way before then! But also it would rock if it somehow placed. If I get the sense other people are giving it some points I probably also will.
