Welcome to the 24th Songs of the Week of 2022. This week’s list features several artists from Down Under, with some great tracks from artists from both Australia and New Zealand. There were too many fantastic songs this week, so we have a super-sized Top 15 main list and lots of strong honorable mentions too.
For Under the Radar’s 8th annual Artist Survey we emailed some of our favorite artists a few questions relating to 2010. Here’s a survey from Philip Ekström of The Mary Onettes.
Back in March, moody Sweden synth-pop greats the Mary Onettes released a two-track single featuring “Easy Hands” and “Pearl Machine” the latest in a string of singles following 2014 “mini album” Portico. Today, the Mary Onettes have returned with another double-release: “Forever Before Love” and “Future Grief.”
