Top 20 electronic music albums of 2022: Daphni – Cherry

     

Here's another one of my top 20 favourite electronic music albums of 2022. One blog post per album, sorted alphabetically by artist until we get to the grand Top 10. This one is my least favourite flavour of Coca Cola.

For those following my live blogging, this is my last post of the day. We'll resume early tomorrow, climaxing with the number one album of the year around 6pm. Tally ho!

See the full countdown here.

Daphni: Cherry (Jiaolong)

Electronic Sound: “Bish, bash, bosh. That’s what people say when loosely lobbing ingredients into a recipe, isn’t it? Mozzarella. Bash. Chilli power. Bosh. This is Dan Snaith’s third album under his clubbier pseudonym, a decade after his Daphni debut. And like someone concocting punch after drinking half the punch, these short, snappy tracks are designed to be tipped into DJ mixes with wild abandon. The album itself would blend brilliantly…. Turn up the kitchen stereo, throw in some spice: the Caribou lad will be your DJ tonight.” 

I suspect I was busy burning a Hello Fresh delivery to a cinder while writing that review. Brilliant album, though, especially if you’re keen on Bonobo, Bicep or Four Tet. 

From another website: A tour de force of dancefloor intuition and emotional release, it has no point to prove; pleasure is the chief, perhaps the only, concern.. (Pitchfork)
